HubSpot reported fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded analyst expectations. The shares gained 1.8% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, erasing earlier losses amid broader rotation out of software stocks due to AI-related concerns.

The customer platform provider posted adjusted earnings per share of $3.10 for the fourth quarter, beating the analyst estimate of $2.99. Revenue came in at $846.7 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of $830.61 million and representing a 20% increase YoY.

"2025 was a transformative year for HubSpot, defined by the momentum of our agentic customer platform and clear acceleration upmarket," said Yamini Rangan, Chief Executive Officer at HubSpot. "AI adoption gathered pace, as Breeze Customer Agent and Breeze Prospecting Agent delivered real outcomes for customers."

The company's customer base grew 16% YoY to 288,706, while average subscription revenue per customer increased 3% to $11,683. Calculated billings for the fourth quarter were $971.4 million, up 27% from the same period last year.
