HUB24's (ASX:HUB) net inflows of about AU$4 billion were below the recent trend as the seven-quarter moving average is at around AU$5.1 billion, according to a Thursday Jefferies note.

The company on Tuesday said its total funds under administration clocked in at AU$151.74 billion as of March 31, up 22% from the AU$124.13 billion a year earlier.

The investment firm said that while the share price reaction to the trading update was "harsh," it's difficult for the stock not to disappoint, which is trading at 46 times its fiscal 2027 price-to-earnings ratio.

Jefferies sees better value in Netwealth Group (ASX:NWL) and Generation Development Group (ASX:GDG), as it said that they have a three-year price-to-earnings growth ratio of about 2 times and 1.26 times, respectively, while trading at significant discounts on their fiscal 2027 price-to-earnings multiples.

Jefferies kept a hold rating on Hub24 and increased its price target to AU$94 from AU$93.50.
