How The Streak Compares With The Market
The market explains little of this: the S&P 500 lost 0.7% over the same 7 sessions, including dividends, against HubSpot’s -16.5%. Over the past three months the stock is down 9.6%, a window that includes the streak; over the other 56 sessions of that window it was up 8.3%.
Do The Fundamentals Justify The Selling?
On the fundamentals, revenue grew 21.1% over the last twelve months, against a median of 17.9% for S&P 500 Information Technology stocks; its operating margin is 3.9%, versus a median of 21.6%; and the stock trades at 77.9 times trailing earnings against a median of 30.7. The read is mixed: revenue growth above the median on one side, margins below the median and a multiple well above the median on the other.

Falling Prices Test Conviction. Rules Do Not Flinch
A losing streak forces a choice on every holder: sell into weakness, average down, or freeze. All three are emotional answers to what should be an analytical question, and decisions made that way tend to be expensive ones.
