HubSpot, which provides a cloud-based software platform for inbound sales and marketing calls, priced its IPO on Wednesday night at $25 a share, above the revised range of $22 to $24, and much higher than the original range of $19 to $21. The number of shares included in the IPO remained unchanged at 5 million.
Underwriters for the IPO are Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan and UBS Investment Bank, and co-managers are Pacific Crest Securities, Canaccord Genuity and Raymond James. The underwriters have a 30-day option on an additional 750,000 shares.
HubSpot integrates social media, search engine optimization, blogging, website content management marketing automation, email, customer relationship management and reporting into a single platform to help businesses attract visitors to their websites and ultimately to convert these visitors into customers. The tie with social media is a particular selling point, given the strength of other recent IPOs, especially Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA).
The stock hit a high of $32.99 before settling in to trade at around $30 a share. More than the full 5 million shares in the IPO had changed hands by late Thursday morning.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
