BUZZ - JPMorgan downgrades HubSpot rating due to "uncertain outlook" amid recovery in revenue growth
路透社2026/10/08 14:17On October 8, JPMorgan downgraded its rating for marketing software company HubSpot (HUBS.N) from “Overweight” to “Neutral,” and also lowered its price target from $268 to $240, which still represents a 23.6% upside from the previous trading day’s closing price. The report pointed out that the timeline for a recovery in revenue growth is “still unclear.” “Although HUBS shares have fallen by more than 40% so far this year, until there are clear signs that the growth slowdown has bottomed out, we do not expect to see renewed investor interest or a significant re-rating of the stock price,” said JPMorgan. Out of 37 brokerages, 13 rate the stock as “Buy” or higher, 23 as “Hold,” and 1 as “Sell”; the median price target is $250, according to Reuters compiled data. Including fluctuations on the day, the stock has declined by 45.2% year-to-date.

BUZZ-Pacira BioSciences participated in a Viatris acquisition deal worth 1.65 billions dollars
Latest Update October 8 – Pacira BioSciences (PCRX.O) shares surged by 44%, hitting a more than three-year high at $36.30. If the rally holds, PCRX is poised for its largest single-day gain on record. Pharmaceutical company Viatris (VTRS.O) will acquire Pacira BioSciences in a $1.65 billion cash deal, offering $36.50 per share. The offer represents a premium of approximately 44.8% over Pacira’s recent closing price of $25.20. The transaction will add Pacira’s non-opioid pain medications Exparel and Zilretta to Viatris' product portfolio. Viatris shares fell 2.6% to $17.04. JPMorgan stated: “We believe this acquisition will not significantly alter VTRS' overall financial profile in the short or long term, and expect Exparel’s sales to gradually decline post-2030 due to generic market entry.” Both parties expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2026. Including intraday fluctuations, PCRX shares have risen 40.2% year-to-date, while VTRS has gained 36.8%.
