HubSpot Inc (NYSE:HUBS) received a revised price target from Stifel analysts on Monday, ahead of its second-quarter earnings report. While maintaining a Buy rating, the firm cut its price target to $700 from $750, citing mixed short-term sentiment around its new AI agent offerings.
Stifel’s channel checks suggest stronger-than-expected enterprise adoption of HubSpot’s suite, but flagged that only one AI customer agent is currently live, and real-time customer feedback has been mixed. However, analysts remain bullish on the long-term impact of AI, particularly how it could boost customer acquisition and seat expansion.
Despite some deceleration in total customer count growth, the firm noted multiple tailwinds:
A large and under-penetrated total addressable market (TAM)
Expanding use cases beyond the Marketing Hub
AI potentially accelerating platform-wide adoption
Stifel expects net revenue retention to stay stable, while average subscription revenue per customer may improve as AI services are embedded deeper into the product stack.
