StubHub Holdings Inc saw a price increase of 5.72% and reached a 5-day high amid mixed market conditions, with the Nasdaq-100 down 0.38% and the S&P 500 up 0.19%.
The stock's rise comes amid significant legal challenges, as multiple law firms have filed class action lawsuits against StubHub for allegedly misleading statements during its September 2025 IPO. These lawsuits claim that the company failed to disclose critical information regarding cash flow issues, which could undermine investor confidence and lead to substantial financial repercussions.
The implications of these lawsuits could be profound, as they may affect the company's reputation and stock price moving forward. Investors are urged to stay informed about the developments in these legal matters, as they could significantly impact StubHub's financial health and market performance.
Wall Street analysts forecast STUB stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for STUB is 24.18 USD with a low forecast of 16.00 USD and a high forecast of 45.00 USD.

Wedbush lowered the firm's price target on StubHub to $18 from $22 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. Consumer internet companies delivered strong returns in 2025, averaging 23% across 24 covered companies versus 19% for the NASDAQ, the analyst tells investors in a research note. In 2026, performance is expected to diverge as investors weigh factors such as AV disruption, AI monetization, ongoing investment cycles, and growing adoption of agentic AI, the firm says.

BMO Capital lowered the firm's price target on StubHub to $22 from $30 but keeps an Outperform rating on the shares.

BMO adds that it sees 2026 as a breakout year for StubHub given the World Cup, scaling its DI offering, advertising momentum, and a strong concert slate.

Oppenheimer analyst Jason Helfstein lowered the firm's price target on StubHub to $20 from $23 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. Despite Q3 beat, the firm notes the company is not guiding Q4 outlook, which is being impacted by timing of concert sales, along with headwinds from all-in pricing and tough comparable sales from Taylor Swift/World Series. While Oppenheimer expects robust FY26 guidance on the Q4 call, there is no visible positive catalyst before then.

Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney lowered the firm's price target on StubHub to $27 from $29 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. StubHub's Q3 results were "a mixed bag" and the lack of Q4 guidance was "unexpected and contributed to a significant market reaction," the analyst tells investors. While calling management's decision to withhold Q4 guidance "disappointing," especially given the challenging comps ahead, the firm argues that StubHub's dominant position in the secondary ticketing market, combined with high-margin economics, remains attractive.
