Google<\/a> parent Alphabet<\/a> has been talking to its advisers about the possibility of making an offer<\/a> for HubSpot<\/a>, an online marketing software company with a market value of $32 billion, people familiar with the matter said.<\/p>\n

If Alphabet moves ahead with an offer, it would be a rare example of a major technology company<\/a> attempting a mega deal amid heightened regulatory scrutiny of the sector under U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration.<\/p>\n

The potential deal would also allow Alphabet to put some of its cash pile, which reached $110.9 billion as of the end of December, to work.<\/p>\n

Alphabet has met with Morgan Stanley investment bankers in recent days about a potential offer for HubSpot, the sources said. It has been discussing how much it should offer and whether antitrust regulators would clear such a tie-up, the sources added.<\/p>\n

Alphabet has not yet submitted an offer to HubSpot and there is no certainty it will do so, the sources said, requesting anonymity to discuss confidential deliberations.<\/p>\n

Alphabet, HubSpot and Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

HubSpot, which listed in the stock market in 2014, provides marketing software to companies that typically have up to 2,000 employees. It generated $2.2 billion revenue in 2023 and posted a net loss of $176.3 million. Despite this loss, investors are excited about the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company’s prospects, driving up its shares 50% in the 12 months.<\/p>\n

Google is currently facing several antitrust challenges, including a landmark lawsuit accusing it of abusing its position as online search leader.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
