HubSpot’s second quarter results for 2025 came in ahead of Wall Street’s expectations, but the market response was negative. Management attributed the quarter's performance to a combination of rapid AI-driven product adoption, strong seat upgrade momentum, and sustained growth in both its upmarket and downmarket segments. CEO Yamini Rangan cited the company's diversified customer acquisition channels as a key strength, noting that 90% of leads now come from non-blog sources, including social media, podcasts, and newsletters. The leadership team acknowledged ongoing shifts in buyer behavior, particularly the impact of declining organic search traffic and the rise of large language model $(LLM.AU)$–driven discovery, as fundamental challenges that required proactive adaptation.

While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention.
In the coming quarters, our analysts will focus on (1) the pace of adoption and monetization for HubSpot’s AI agents and credit-based pricing model, (2) execution on customer acquisition through diversified channels as organic search continues to decline, and (3) sustained upmarket momentum and partner-driven deal flow. We will also monitor the impact of additional AI feature launches and the company’s ability to convert new product usage into durable revenue streams.
