It was another good day for Hub24 Ltd (ASX: HUB) shareholders on Friday.

That's because the ASX 200 stock climbed to a record high of $43.08 during the session.

When the financial technology company's shares hit that level, it meant they were up almost 20% this year.

But things are even better if you step back a little further. On a 12-month basis this ASX 200 stock is up over 70% and on a five-year basis it is now up over 200%.

In respect to the latter, a $10,000 investment back in 2019 would now be worth approximately $30,000.

Can HUB24 shares keep rising?

Unfortunately for shareholders, the broker community appears to believe that this ASX 200 stock could be close to peaking for the time being.

For example, a note out of Citi from earlier this month revealed that it has a buy rating and $42.80 price target. This is in line with where its shares currently trade.

Elsewhere, Macquarie and Ord Minnett currently have overweight and buy ratings on its shares with price targets of $44.00. This offers modest upside of approximately 3% from where its shares closed on Friday.
