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.

What is this ASX 200 stock?

HUB24 is a financial technology company behind the HUB24 platform, HUBconnect, the Xplore Wealth platform, Class, and myprosperity.

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.
