Baron Asset Fund stated the following regarding StubHub Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:STUB) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:
"StubHub Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:STUB), the leading marketplace for the resale of live event tickets, detracted from performance following its September IPO. The company has been investing heavily both to expand its market share and to develop its capabilities to sell tickets in the primary market - tickets sold directly by sports teams to fans. Its near-term results were also affected by challenging annual revenue comparisons after the outsized success of Taylor Swift tour ticket sales last year. Despite these temporary headwinds, we remain optimistic that StubHub’s revenue growth and profitability are poised to accelerate meaningfully."
