StubHub Holdings, Inc. (STUB)
NYSE NYSE Primary Summary
StubHub: Attractive Model, But I'm Staying On The Sidelines
StubHub (STUB) delivered record Q2 revenue and GMS, but adjusted earnings and leverage raise caution. After a sharp post-earnings selloff, STUB trades near all-time lows despite strong topline growth and raised outlook. Adjusting for stock-based compensation and customer deposits reveals higher leverage and lower free cash flow than headline numbers suggest.
StubHub: Still A Buy, Still Strong, Still Underrated
StubHub Holdings remains a strong buy at current levels, trading at just 8-9x forward FCF with a solid industry moat. STUB's Q2 2026 results showed 33% GMS growth, $106M adjusted EBITDA, and net leverage reduced to 3x, aided by World Cup-driven ticket sales. Management guides for $10.2B 2026 revenue and $400M adjusted EBITDA but expects flat growth in upcoming quarters, limiting near-term margin expansion.
StubHub tanks 10% as World Cup ticket fiasco wipes out profit boom
StubHub shares tanked over 10% Thursday on its disastrous World Cup partnership, which erased its quarterly profit and left customers who bought tickets stranded outside stadiums – resulting in a frenzy of media coverage and litigation.
