What HubSpot does

US software company selling an inbound marketing, sales and customer service CRM platform mainly to small and mid-size businesses.

Customers subscribe to tiered plans, starting with a free CRM and moving up as they add seats and tools such as marketing and sales software, so revenue grows with both new customers and bigger plans. Agencies resell and implement it for smaller clients. About half of revenue comes from outside the US.

Is HubSpot expensive compared with its peers?

How has HubSpot stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +1.7% against +20.5% for the median peer; over one year -56.8%.
What is HubSpot's backlog?
HubSpot's remaining performance obligations (contracted revenue not yet recognised) were $1.80B at 30 Sep 2026, +29% on a year earlier.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
