HubSpot to cut about 7% of workforce and reaffirms 2026 guidance

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 restructuring Written later

HubSpot's board authorized a restructuring plan on October 1, 2026 that eliminates certain roles, affecting about 7% of the workforce; the CEO's employee memo says nearly 660 people will leave. The company estimates $65 million to $75 million in charges, mostly recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, and will exclude them from non-GAAP results, while reaffirming its third-quarter and full-year 2026 revenue, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP EPS guidance.
