HUB24 (ASX:HUB) Slides Into A Valuation Debate, Is The Pullback Enough?

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Recent debate around HUB24 (ASX:HUB) has intensified after the stock’s sharp share price decline this year, with investors questioning whether its current valuation is supported by underlying returns on capital.

The recent slide in HUB24’s share price, including a 30-day share price return that declined 8.62% and a year to date share price return that fell 33.02%, contrasts sharply with a 3-year total shareholder return of 107.60%. This suggests longer term holders have still seen strong compounding even as shorter term momentum fades and market sentiment reassesses the risk and reward trade off at A$64.15.

For HUB24, a steep year to date slide, set against still strong multi year returns, leaves a simple question: Does the current A$64.15 tag now skew the risk reward toward fresh buyers, or argue for more caution as valuation is tested next?

Most Popular Narrative: 32.1% Undervalued

On the most followed view of HUB24, the A$64.15 share price sits well below a fair value estimate of A$94.41. This puts the recent share price slide in the context of a valuation framework built on revenue, margin and discount rate assumptions.

The strategic positioning of HUB24 as a market leader with strong growth in funds under administration (FUA) is presented as indicating potential for ongoing revenue growth, based on a 4-year CAGR of 42% in group revenue. This is accompanied by an increase in market share from 6.6% to 7.9% over the last 12 months.

See why 17 investors see HUB24 as 32% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of A$94.41 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, that underrating case can unravel quickly if competition forces lower pricing or if a sharp equity market slump drags on funds under administration and fee revenue.

Another View on HUB24’s Valuation

The first narrative leans on analyst fair value of A$94.41, yet HUB24 screens very differently when looking at the P/E ratio. At A$64.15, the shares trade on 43.5x earnings, which is higher than the estimated fair ratio of 21.4x, the Australian Capital Markets average of 18.7x, and the peer average of 25.9x. That gap points to meaningful valuation risk if sentiment or growth expectations cool.
