HubSpot Shares Fall 6.43% on $850M Volume Surge as Analysts Cut Targets and Sector Weakness Deepen Selloff

HubSpot (HUBS) fell 6.43% on August 11, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.85 billion, a 47.17% increase from the previous day. The stock ranked 110th in trading activity among equities.

The decline followed a series of bearish developments, including analyst price target cuts from Argus and TD Securities, which reduced their estimates to $650 and $600, respectively. The stock’s dynamic price-to-earnings ratio dropped to -447.5, reflecting ongoing earnings challenges and negative earnings per share of -$0.22 (TTM). These factors, combined with broader sector weakness in the Software—Application industry, exacerbated the sell-off.

Technical indicators highlighted overextended conditions, with the RSI at 17.42 (oversold territory) and the MACD showing bearish momentum. Key support levels at $460.68 and $525.58 could signal potential rebounds if the stock stabilizes. Options activity surged, with the 430C250815 contract trading at 62% implied volatility, suggesting heightened short-term uncertainty.

Backtesting data revealed that a liquidity-driven strategy of purchasing top 500 high-volume stocks and holding for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming benchmarks by 137.53%. This underscores the potential for high-volume equities to recover after sharp declines, though investors must weigh this against HubSpot’s ongoing financial challenges, including a negative P/E ratio and year-to-date losses.
