Hubspot Inc (HUBS-N)

It's too expensive. He doesn't like enterprise software at all.

A junior Salesforce that's turned a profit since 2017. Earnings growth was 38% in 2021 and 53% in 2022 and projected to be 74% in 2023. Revenue growth is actually decelerating to 20% this year. Shares are still soaring.

Fractional shares to buy instead of playing the short squeeze of GameStop, AMC, etc. It's growing fast. Cloud-based marketing software can target internet users to products you didn't realize you wanted to buy. He prefers Twilio, though.

Comparing this to Salesforce.Com (CRM-N). Both of these companies are attractive because their business (electronic customer relationship management) brings large, recurring revenue. However, he struggles with the valuation of both companies. They are too rich for his clients. In the context of concerns that tech’s valuation might be too far extended, he thinks it would be wise to step back from this one. At this time, if he was buying a tech stock, he would prefer one that showed more potential for structural growth. He gave IBM as an example of a tech company that is currently “on sale”.
