Earnings and especially earnings per share (EPS) are useful measures of a company's profitability. Total earnings, which is also referred to as net income, equals total revenue minus total expenses. EPS equals to net income divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Earnings And Revenue

Sell-side analysts expect HubSpot's EPS to be near $0.32 on sales of $296.03 million. In the same quarter last year, HubSpot announced EPS of $0.34 on revenue of $203.61 million.
