StubHub Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:STUB) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently expressed his thoughts on. Cramer called the stock’s IPO a “flop.” He said:

“I want to talk about an IPO that hasn’t gone well… Okay, first off, StubHub delayed its IPO twice… The company included results from the first six months of 2025, and those numbers, not encouraging… Most aspiring publicly traded companies try to time their IPO so that it happens during or after a really strong period for the business… StubHub didn’t have that luxury… On top of the financials, StubHub seems to be running into some regulatory headwinds…

Finally, though, I think the StubHub deal fizzled because Wall Street’s gotten squeamish about the entire consumer discretionary sector, and who can blame them… StubHub could suffer if consumers decide to do some belt tightening. Even though the stock does get cheaper as it goes lower, I don’t want to stick my neck out for this one, not after those deteriorated numbers and the warning of a 10% revenue hit from the new FTC rules. I think the situation actually even could get worse before it starts getting better.

And believe me, I wanted to be optimistic because I love deals that have come down in price where the fundamentals are improved. That’s not the case here. Let me give you the bottom line: In a year full of red-hot IPOs, StubHub was a flop, largely because they delayed the deal twice. And over the course of that time, the business got much, much worse. Meanwhile, it’s just a tougher market for certain parts of the consumer discretionary sector anyway these days. Hence, the lack of appetite for this one. Eventually, I’m betting StubHub will get too cheap, too cheap to ignore. But until we see some clear signs of a bottom, I’m saying that this stock’s just too risky to go near. Wow.”
