GMO discussed HubSpot, Inc. (NYSE:HUBS) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:
“One of the worst performers in the group for the year, which averaged an 80-bp short position and added 0.4% to absolute performance, was HubSpot, Inc. (NYSE:HUBS). If you are anxious to know what severe economic challenges HubSpot faced to send its shares crashing more than 40%, we will have to disappoint you—HubSpot grew its customers and revenues by broadly 20% during the year without compromising margins. Quite simply, high expectations for huge earnings beats meant that even strong results were viewed as insufficient, leading to sharp sell-offs. This is a key reason why we are not obsessing over identifying the catalyst for future growth stock underperformance—the weight of expectation built into valuations will inevitably lead to investor disappointment at some point.”
