HubSpot (NYSE:HUBS) shares surged more than 5% after-hours following the company’s reported Q1 results, with EPS of $1.20 coming in better than the consensus estimate of $0.83.

Revenue grew 27% year-over-year to $501.6 million, beating the consensus estimate of $474.87M. Subscription revenue was up 27% to $489.7M, while Professional services and other revenue grew 12% year-over-year to $11.9M.

“We continue to operate in a tough macroeconomic environment but we have a solid playbook for executing and driving sustainable growth despite this challenge. At the same time, we are in the early stages of a transformative shift brought on by Generative AI,” said CEO Yamini Rangan, noting that the company is well-positioned to help go-to-market teams be even more effective with AI.

For Q2/23, the company expects EPS in the range of $0.98-$1.00, compared to the consensus of $0.88, and revenue in the range of $503M-$505M, compared to the consensus of $497.92M.

For the full year, the company expects EPS in the range of $4.80-$4.85, compared to the consensus of $4.27, and revenue of $2.08B-$2.088B, compared to the consensus of $2.06B.

Analysts raised their price targets on HUBS stock in response to solid results. Stifel's new price target is $500 per share while Oppenheimer boosted its forecast to $490.

"We believe HubSpot's bimodal GTM strategy will continue to drive share gain in the broader CRM ecosystem, and management's emphasis on efficiency will contribute to a steady uptick in profitability. While the company's multi-Hub strategy has undoubtedly been successful so far, we see significant runway for cross-sell activity in the customer base as solutions like Service Hub, CMS Hub, and Operations Hub mature and gain incremental traction. We maintain our Buy rating," wrote Stifel analysts.
