DocuSign CFO Sells 45,000 Shares for $3.1 Million, Reducing Direct Holdings by a Whopping 36%
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Blake Jeffrey Grayson, Chief Financial Officer of DocuSign, Inc. (DOCU -1.13%), sold 45,000 shares of common stock between September 4, 2026 and September 8, 2026, according to a recent SEC Form 4 filing.

Transaction summaryMetricValueShares sold45,000Transaction value$3.1 millionPost-transaction shares (directly held)81,429Post-transaction value$5.30 millionTransaction value based on SEC Form 4 weighted average sale price ($68.52); post-transaction value based on September 08, 2026 market close ($65.08).

Key questionsWhat was the nature of this disposition?
The executive utilized a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to facilitate the sale of 30,000 shares, a mechanism that establishes pre-set parameters for trading to avoid conflicts regarding the use of material non-public information.How does the execution price compare to recent market valuation?
The shares were sold at a weighted average price of $68.52, while the stock was priced at $65.08 as of the September 8, 2026 market close, representing a one-year total return of -20% as of the transaction date.What is the executive's remaining ownership stake in the company?
Following the sale, the Chief Financial Officer retains direct ownership of 81,429 shares, which accounts for an approximate 0.0426% stake in the firm.Company OverviewMetricValueShare Price (as of market close 2026-09-08)$65.08Market Capitalization$12.5 billionRevenue (TTM)$3.4 billionNet Income (TTM)$329.9 millionCompany SnapshotDocuSign provides a comprehensive digital agreement management platform, with core revenue derived from its electronic signature solution and complementary offerings including Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) and agreement workflow automation tools.The company operates a SaaS-based business model, generating recurring revenue through subscription licenses and usage-based pricing, enabling enterprises to digitally prepare, execute, finalize, and manage agreements at scale.DocuSign serves a broad customer base spanning mid-market and enterprise organizations across multiple verticals, with particular strength in financial services, legal, healthcare, and technology sectors seeking to streamline agreement processes.DocuSign is a global leader in digital agreement management, serving thousands of enterprise customers across the United States and internationally. The company has established a dominant competitive position in the e-signature market through its integrated platform approach, combining core electronic signature capabilities with advanced CLM and workflow automation features.

DocuSign's strategic focus on expanding its agreement cloud ecosystem positions it to capture growing demand for digital transformation in contract and document management processes.

What this transaction means for investorsCFO Blake Grayson's Sept. 4 sale of 30,000 DocuSign shares was a non-discretionary transaction executed as part of a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 plan. This indicates the move was part of a structured portfolio management strategy.

He performed a second disposition involving 15,000 shares on Sept. 8, which was not part of his Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. Consequently, the subsequent sale was discretionary, and combined with his Sept. 4 disposal, resulted in a substantial 36% reduction in his direct holdings. This does not instill investors with confidence as the sale comes after the stock has dropped about 20% over the past 12 months.

DocuSign shares are down due to concerns the company may be at risk of losing business in the face of the artificial intelligence boom. In its fiscal second quarter, ended July 31, the company reported revenue of $875.7 million, representing a 9% year-over-year increase. While the sales expansion was solid, it was not at the level of a high-growth tech stock.

Docusign's AI Push Is Giving Investors a Reason to Rethink the Stock

The great fear hanging over so many established software firms this year has been that the AI revolution will pass them by, or worse, sweep them aside. Docusign Inc. NASDAQ: DOCU, long the dominant name in electronic signatures, has faced exactly that suspicion, with the bears wondering whether a company built on signing documents online can stay relevant in an age of agentic AI.

In recent weeks, however, investors have grown notably more optimistic, both for traditional software stocks in general and Docusign in particular. Heading into its Q2 fiscal year (FY2027) report, Docusign shares had already rallied more than 60%, and the numbers did nothing to dent the enthusiasm. The stock initially moved higher after the release, putting it within reach of its highest levels since late last year.

Get Docusign alerts:

Like with so many of its peers, the market has been keen to see if Docusign can reinvent itself around AI, rather than be eaten up by it. On the evidence of this past quarter, at least, the answer is clear.

Docusign’s Beat Gives the Turnaround More CredibilityStarting with the headline numbers, they gave the bulls plenty to cheer about. Docusign comfortably beat analyst expectations on both revenue and profit, with sales up more than 9% year over year and margins ahead of forecasts, too. For a company whose growth prospects some had written off, that was a solid statement.

Adding to the bullish overtones was the company’s own confidence in its outlook. Management raised forward guidance for the full year, nudging up its expectations for both revenue and, crucially, the growth of its recurring revenue base.

Underpinning it all was healthy customer growth, which hit a record high above 1.9 million - not exactly the kind of trend you’d expect from a company consigned to the dustheap. Instead, it was the kind of report that quietly rebuilds the whole investment case.

IAM Adoption Becomes the Real StoryBeyond the headline numbers and shiny metrics, however, the real story lies in how Docusign is answering the AI question head-on. Rather than treating the technology as a threat, the company is weaving it through a broader platform it calls Intelligent Agreement Management, or IAM, designed to handle the entire life of a contract rather than just the signature at the end.

The evidence that this is working is compelling. IAM now accounts for more than 15% of the company's recurring revenue, up sharply from the prior quarter, and management expects that share to climb toward 19% by the end of the financial year. That steady march is the clearest sign yet that customers are buying into the vision, not just listening to the sales pitch.

Docusign is also building AI-powered tools that let customers create and deploy their own automated agents, and knitting its platform together with the major AI providers and workplace apps. The aim is to make its software a deeply embedded hub for managing agreements, far harder to rip out than a simple signing tool, and its best defense against being commoditized.

Why the Bears Still Have an ArgumentStill, for all that progress, the bears are hanging onto some legitimate concerns, and the central one is conversion. Impressive as IAM adoption is, the company's overall growth remains fairly moderate, with revenue still expanding at single-digit rates since 2023. That puts the onus on management to ensure this AI-related momentum translates into meaningfully faster growth, not just a nicer product.

Then there is the ever-present competitive threat. Basic electronic signing is one of the more straightforward tasks that could easily and cheaply be replaced by a homegrown AI tool or a nimbler, lower-cost rival. That means Docusign has to work far harder to defend its turf than an entrenched platform like Salesforce NYSE: CRM, whose sprawling web of customer data, workflows, and integrations makes it enormously difficult to rip out. This is precisely why the ongoing shift toward the stickier, more sophisticated IAM platform matters so much.

So which is it: a real AI success story, or a stay of execution? The weight of this quarter's evidence tilts firmly toward the former. Docusign isn't merely surviving the arrival of AI; it’s using the technology to transform itself from a one-trick signing service into something altogether more valuable.

That being said, the caveats are real. The conversion of that adoption into faster company-wide growth remains unproven, and until the company is reporting revenue growth that is consistently accelerating, the jury is still out. The recent rally in Docusign shares also suggests much of the upside is already baked into the price, leaving little margin for disappointment. In other words, the company's turnaround is seeing a ton of progress, but it is not yet finished.

1 Glorious Growth Stock Down 78% to Buy on the Dip in September
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
When the COVID-19 pandemic triggered widespread lockdowns and social restrictions in 2020, businesses turned to Docusign (DOCU -4.87%) to help them remotely draft, negotiate, and close commercial agreements. The soaring demand for its platform drove its stock to a record high of $310 in late 2021, a whopping tenfold increase from its initial public offering (IPO) price of $29 just three years earlier.

But Docusign suffered a sharp slowdown in demand for its platform when social conditions mostly returned to normal in 2022, and its sales growth has been sluggish ever since. As a result, its stock is down 78% from its peak, closing at $68.41 last Friday, Sept. 4.

But this might be a great long-term opportunity for investors, because Docusign's new Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform could be the key to turning its fortunes around. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to transform contract management processes for businesses, and it's proving to be very popular with customers. 

Image source: Getty Images.

The IAM platform continues to expand Docusign says around 65% of organizations still use four or more tools to manage their agreement workflows, creating friction and significant inefficiencies. In 2024, global consulting firm Deloitte found that businesses were collectively wasting around 55 billion hours per year due to poor contract management processes, resulting in $2 trillion in lost economic value. IAM was designed to help them recover some of that time and money.

IAM features a unique digital repository called Agreement Manager, where businesses have collectively stored over 300 million contracts. It uses AI to extract valuable information from each document and make it discoverable via a search function, so managers can quickly find expiry dates to get ahead of sales agreements that are about to lapse, or stop auto-renewals for contracts they no longer need.

In August, Docusign expanded IAM significantly with a series of new features. There is now an AI assistant powered by the company's AI engine, Iris, which stands ready to answer questions about any contract within the organization's ecosystem. Then there is Agent Studio, which allows businesses to build custom AI agents to help draft, negotiate, and close agreements.

IAM launched in 2024, so it's still a relatively new platform. Around 40,000 of Docusign's 1.9 million paying customers have adopted it so far, leaving significant room for growth.

Steady growth in revenue and profits Docusign generated $875.7 million in revenue during its fiscal 2027 second quarter (ended July 31), topping management's forecast of $865 million to $869 million. It represented a modest 9% increase over the year-ago period, so the company isn't growing at a lightning-fast pace right now.

However, management is deliberately sacrificing some top-line growth to focus on profitability, resulting in a more sustainable business over the long term. While Docusign's revenue increased by 9% during the second quarter, its total operating expenses grew by just 2%, allowing more money to flow to the bottom line. This resulted in a 23% increase in the company's generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income, which came in at $77.7 million.

Docusign delivered an even higher net income of $224.4 million on an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis, which excluded one-off and non-cash expenses. But investors shouldn't automatically dismiss items like the company's $148.6 million in stock-based compensation just because it's a non-cash expense. Whenever new shares are issued to employees as part of their compensation package, it dilutes the value of every existing share in circulation, which is a drag on investors' potential returns.

Docusign's valuation leaves room for upside Docusign stock is currently trading at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 4.1, which is a steep discount to its average of 11.8 since the company went public in 2018.

DOCU PS Ratio data by YCharts

I think Docusign stock looks attractively valued right now, particularly because IAM has the potential to reignite the company's top-line growth. Management is forecasting $3.55 billion in total annual recurring revenue (ARR) by the end of fiscal 2027, with around 18.5% expected to come from IAM alone. At the end of fiscal 2025 (roughly 18 months ago), IAM represented just 2.3% of ARR, so adoption is ramping up at an explosive pace.

Therefore, Docusign stock could be a solid buy at the current price, given IAM could soon become a significant part of the business.

Docusign Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Docusign (NASDAQ:DOCU) reported second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $876 million, up 9% from a year earlier, as adoption of its Intelligent Agreement Management, or IAM, platform increased and the company expanded its artificial intelligence capabilities and integrations.

Chief Executive Officer Allan Thygesen said IAM accounted for 15.1% of total annual recurring revenue, or ARR, at the end of the quarter, up from 12.6% in the first quarter. The company raised its full-year ARR growth outlook to a range of 8.5% to 9.0%, compared with 8.0% growth in fiscal 2026, and expects IAM to account for 18% to 19% of total ARR exiting the fourth quarter.

“Our platform strategy is working,” Thygesen said, citing increased IAM adoption, continued product development and the company’s ability to maintain margins while expanding AI-driven functionality. Financial Results and Capital Returns Docusign’s second-quarter revenue included a 1.3 percentage-point benefit from foreign exchange rates. International revenue represented 31% of the total. Chief Financial Officer Blake Grayson said that, after adjusting for foreign exchange and the prior-year contribution from digital add-ons, revenue growth accelerated by nearly one percentage point year over year.

Non-GAAP operating income rose 16% year over year to $277 million. The company reported a non-GAAP operating margin of 31.6%, up 180 basis points from the prior-year period and above the midpoint of its guidance range. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 26% to $1.16, while GAAP diluted earnings per share rose 33% to $0.40.

Free cash flow was $296 million, up more than 35% from the prior-year quarter and equal to a 34% margin. Over the trailing 12 months, Docusign generated $1.2 billion in free cash flow, according to Grayson.

The company ended the quarter with just under $1 billion in cash equivalents and investments and no debt. It repurchased $307 million of stock during the quarter, reducing total diluted shares outstanding by 8% year over year to 193 million. Docusign had $2.1 billion remaining under its share-repurchase authorization.

Non-GAAP gross margin was 81.7%, slightly below the prior-year level due to the company’s cloud migration investments. Docusign said the migration remains on track to be largely completed by the end of fiscal 2027 and expects full-year gross margin to decline slightly year over year.

IAM Adoption and AI Product Expansion Thygesen said customers had ingested more than 300 million documents through IAM Agreement Manager. He said the platform’s AI-native architecture allows Docusign to process workloads at lower marginal costs than products that route work to external large language models.

During August, the company introduced an AI assistant and agentic capabilities for contract analysis, redlining and workflow automation. The release included pre-built agents for document intake and vendor renewals, along with an Agent Studio intended to let customers develop and govern custom agents for uses such as compliance auditing, business playbooks and vendor-pricing evaluation.

In user testing, Thygesen said the AI assistant reduced the time required to summarize, review and finalize agreements such as nondisclosure agreements by roughly half.

Docusign also continued expanding IAM into third-party tools. The company announced general availability of a Docusign app for Slack in June, integrations with Perplexity and Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise for Legal, and existing connectors with Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI and Microsoft Copilot. Cumulative active accounts using Docusign’s Model Context Protocol, or MCP, capabilities more than quadrupled during the quarter, Thygesen said. The company expects its MCP server to become generally available by the end of the month.

Thygesen told analysts that customers need an IAM license to use the connectors, with the company’s existing credit model applying to those calls. While he described the integrations as a potentially important future distribution and discovery channel, he said it remains early for customers to find Docusign through those platforms.

Customer Trends and Enterprise Activity Docusign ended the quarter with more than 1.9 million customers, representing nearly 10% year-over-year growth. Grayson said digital-channel activity helped drive the increase, while envelope sending and contract utilization also increased year over year.

Dollar net retention among direct customers was 103% on a rounded basis, improving modestly from both the prior quarter and prior year. Grayson said retention gains had historically been the largest contributor to improvement, but expansion is beginning to play a larger role.

The number of customers with more than $300,000 in annual contract value rose 14% year over year to nearly 1,300. Thygesen said IAM was the main source of expansion and larger deal activity, though the company also continued to see large eSignature transactions. He said Docusign recorded its largest U.S. public-sector deal and its largest Latin America deal during the quarter.

Management cited deployments by Salesforce, Oppenheimer, SailPoint, Upstart, Optimizely and HydroCorp. HydroCorp, which integrated IAM for sales with Salesforce, reduced the time needed to prepare a new contract from two to three hours to 20 minutes, according to Thygesen.

Updated Outlook For the third quarter, Docusign expects revenue of $886 million to $890 million, representing 9% year-over-year growth at the midpoint on an as-reported basis. It forecast non-GAAP gross margin of 81.5% to 81.9% and non-GAAP operating margin of 31.3% to 31.7%.

For fiscal 2027, the company expects revenue of $3.499 billion to $3.507 billion, or 9% growth at the midpoint. The outlook includes an approximately one percentage-point foreign-exchange tailwind, though management said incremental currency headwinds reduced the full-year revenue outlook by about $4 million.

Docusign forecast full-year non-GAAP operating margin of 31.0% to 31.5%. Grayson said the company will continue investing selectively in IAM while managing hiring and using lower-cost locations for its year-over-year headcount growth.

DocuSign Reports Strong Q2, Boosts FY27 Outlook Amid AI Integration
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
DocuSign DOCU shares have risen following a robust Q2 (July) earnings report, which showcased positive results while the Q3 (October) and FY27 revenue forecasts were largely in line with expectations. The company is actively transitioning towards its AI-driven Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform, which has seen increased adoption, now accounting for 15.1% of its annual recurring revenue (ARR). Additionally, DOCU has raised its FY27 ARR growth outlook to 8.5-9.0%, up from the previous range of 8.25-8.75%, reflecting management's confidence in ongoing execution despite continued investments in cloud migration.

IAM Adoption: The adoption of IAM has exceeded expectations, with balanced growth across various regions and customer segments. To date, over 300 million documents have been processed through IAM's Agreement Manager, showcasing rising customer engagement and supporting DOCU's goal of becoming the leading agreement management platform. AI and Agents: In August, DOCU introduced new AI capabilities, including AI-driven contract analysis, document intake automation, and Agent Studio for creating custom agents. Early tests indicate that the AI assistant can halve the time needed to summarize, review, and finalize agreements, including NDAs. AI Economics: The AI-native architecture of IAM allows DOCU to process workloads at significantly lower costs compared to traditional solutions reliant on external large language models (LLMs). This efficiency has resulted in a substantial increase in the number of documents ingested in Q2 while maintaining high gross margins, positioning the company favorably as AI usage expands. Capital Returns: DocuSign has capitalized on its lower stock price by repurchasing shares aggressively, spending $307 million in Q2. This strategy has reduced diluted shares by 8% year-over-year to 193 million, with $2.1 billion remaining under its buyback authorization and no debt on its balance sheet. DOCU's Q2 performance underscores the positive momentum of its IAM transformation, with increasing adoption contributing significantly to its recurring revenue. The shift to emphasize ARR over billings provides a clearer picture of its subscription model, and the slight uptick in FY27 ARR guidance signals growing management confidence. However, the key question remains whether the accelerating IAM adoption will lead to sustained revenue growth. While the company's expanding AI capabilities are promising, particularly with a focus on cost-effective AI workloads and strong margins, the ongoing expenses related to cloud migration may pose short-term challenges. The stock's continued positive performance will likely hinge on evidence that IAM adoption is translating into genuine growth rather than merely redistributing existing customer activity.

Docusign Is Breaking Out of Its E-Signature Box — Analysts See a Bigger AI Opportunity
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Docusign Inc. (NASDAQ:DOCU) drew bullish commentary from analysts after its fiscal second-quarter results showed accelerating growth in its Intelligent Agreement Management business (IAM), improving retention and stronger-than-expected profitability.

Citizens Sees More UpsideCitizens analyst Patrick Walravens maintained a Market Outperform rating and an $86 price forecast.

The analyst highlighted Docusign’s 9.4% revenue growth, improving net retention, and IAM annual recurring revenue of about $529 million. IAM accounted for 15.1% of total ARR, ahead of Citizens’ $474 million estimate.

Walravens said Docusign is using its dominant e-signature position to become the “agreement layer” across enterprises. He expects IAM ARR to exceed $650 million by the end of fiscal 2027 and account for roughly 18.5% of total ARR.

Citizens also pointed to Docusign’s Iris AI engine, which is trained on more than 300 million private, consented agreements, as a potential competitive advantage.

The firm raised its fiscal 2027 non-GAAP earnings estimate to $4.67 per share from $4.61. It also lifted its fiscal 2028 estimate to $5.22 from $5.12.

RBC Says Valuation Caps UpsideRBC Capital Markets analyst Rishi Jaluria took a more measured view. The firm maintained its Sector Perform rating but raised its price forecast to $70 from $55 following Docusign’s results.

Jaluria said the quarter marked another solid step in Docusign’s transition toward IAM. Revenue reached $875.7 million, up 9% year over year, while non-GAAP earnings came in at $1.16 per share. Both topped consensus estimates.

RBC highlighted improving retention and larger customer deals. Customers generating more than $300,000 in annual contract value rose 14% year over year to 1,296, marking the second straight quarter of double-digit growth.

The firm also sees an opportunity in Docusign’s growing integrations with third-party AI platforms. Its connectors span platforms from OpenAI, Anthropic and Microsoft Copilot to Google Cloud and Perplexity. RBC believes those integrations could eventually become a distribution channel for Docusign.

Still, RBC said the shares appear fully valued. The firm noted that Docusign trades at roughly nine times estimated calendar 2027 free cash flow, limiting potential upside despite improving IAM adoption, retention and deal sizes.

The analysts’ differing ratings reflect a common theme: Docusign’s IAM strategy is gaining traction, but the debate is shifting toward how much of that improvement is already reflected in the stock.

DocuSign raises annual forecast as AI-powered contract tools gain traction
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
DocuSign Inc (NASDAQ:DOCU) reported second-quarter revenue and profit that beat Wall Street estimates and raised its full-year revenue guidance, as the company's newer AI-driven contract management products continue to gain share of its overall business.

Revenue for the fiscal second quarter came in at $875.7 million, above the $867 million analysts had estimated and up 9% from a year earlier. Adjusted earnings per share of $1.16 topped the $1.09 estimate, a 26% increase year-over-year. Free cash flow reached $295.8 million, well ahead of the $234 million forecast.

The company's Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) offering accounted for 15.1% of total annual recurring revenue in the quarter.

For fiscal 2027, DocuSign now expects revenue of $3.5 billion to $3.51 billion, roughly in line with the $3.5 billion analyst estimate. The company raised its annual recurring revenue growth outlook to a range of 8.5% to 9% and said it expects IAM to represent approximately 18% to 19% of total ARR by the end of the fourth quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin for the year is now guided at 31% to 31.5%.

For the third quarter, DocuSign guided revenue of $886 million to $890 million, slightly below the $889 million estimate, with non-GAAP operating margin expected between 31.3% and 31.7%.

Other second-quarter metrics included non-GAAP gross margin of 81.7%, down 30 basis points from a year earlier, and net cash from operations of $334.5 million.

Analysts at UBS described the results as another "fine/in-line" quarter, noting constant-currency revenue growth of 8% matched expectations and that the raised full-year guidance was a modest step up rather than a re-rating catalyst. The bank said DocuSign's IAM push has yet to meaningfully accelerate overall revenue growth, which remains similar to the 8-10% pace reported in each of the past three fiscal years, even as the AI-driven offering now makes up 15% of ARR.

Shares of Docusign added around 2.7% on Friday morning.

DocuSign stock forms golden cross as Morgan Stanley boosts target
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text

DOCU buy

Buy DocuSign (DOCU). The news shows AI-driven IAM momentum: IAM is 15.1% of ARR (up from 12.6%), revenue +9% YoY to $875M, gross margin expanding to 79.7%, and free cash flow over $295M. Guidance was raised (Q3 revenue $886–$890M) and the company is accelerating buybacks ($306M vs $201M). Technicals confirm trend strength: golden cross and breakout above the $57.22 neckline.

Key Risk: AI adoption stalls and IAM growth reverses, causing margins/FCF to flatten and buybacks to slow.

DOCU sell/short (valuation risk)

Sell or short DocuSign (DOCU) if the stock keeps running without matching fundamentals. The article highlights a huge move (+62% from the year low) and multiple bullish price targets, which can turn into crowded momentum. If the next earnings report shows IAM share of ARR slipping or guidance missing, the market can quickly re-rate the stock downward.

Key Risk: Next quarter results miss on IAM/ARR mix or guidance, triggering a sharp multiple compression.

DocuSign stock continued its strong bull run as the company’s investments in artificial intelligence (AI) starting to pay off. DOCU jumped to $67.05, up by 62% from its lowest level this year. This rally may continue in the foreseeable future as analysts from companies like Morgan Stanley and Evercore boost their outlook.

DOCU has been in a strong rally in the past few months as it has positioned itself as a major player in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. In a statement, the company said that its revenue jumped by 9% in the second quarter to $875 million.

IAM is a key product made up of AI agents that analyzes agreement terms and generates contract language. It also has pre-built agents for roles like agreement intake and vendor renewal, and an AI agent studio where customers can build, govern, and deploy custom agents. In a statement, the CEO said:

“Our AI agents are now securely executing contract workflows end-to-end, and the IAM platform also ingested a record volume of agreements.”

Most notably, its Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) represents 15.1% of its annual recurring revenue (ARR) as of July 31. This is a big increase from 12.6% in April this year. 

The company continued growing its gross margins to 79.7% from the previous 79.3%, with its free cash flow rising to over $295 million. Also, the company boosted its guidance, with Q3 revenue expected to move between $886 million and $890 million. Its gross margin will come in between 81.5% and 81.9%.

The management has also used the cheap valuation to buy back the shares. It spent $306 million buying back its shares, higher than the $201 million it spent last year. It has reduced the number of outstanding shares to 193 million from 205 million in 2024.

Analysts believe that the DocuSign stock has more upside, with Morgan Stanley hiking the target from $69 to $75. Evercore ISI, on the other hand, hiked the target to $65, while Needham reiterated its bullish view. BTIG hiked the target from $60 to $75, while Citizens hiked to $86.

DocuSign stock chart | Source: TradingView

The daily chart shows that the DOCU stock formed a double-bottom pattern at $41.45, its lowest level on February 23 and June 18. It has now moved above the neckline at $57.22, its highest point on June 1. This pattern normally points to a bullish reversal. 

The stock has formed a golden cross pattern, which happens when the 50-day and 200-day moving averages cross each other. This pattern normally leads to more gains over time.

The stock has moved above the Supertrend indicator, which is a bullish sign. Therefore, the stock will likely continue rising as bulls target the key resistance level of $86.6, its highest point on September 18.

Docusign Agreement Layer for the Agentic Enterprise Coming to Every Agent
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Docusign, the most trusted name in agreement tech, applies agreement engine to modern agentic enterprise tech stacks

, /PRNewswire/ -- Docusign (Nasdaq: DOCU) today announced it will open its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server to every AI agent on September 30. With the Docusign MCP generally available globally, agreement intelligence and governed action — powered by AI engine Docusign Iris — are now callable natively from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Slack, and any MCP client, directly accessible by the agents running a business.

"For enterprise AI to truly succeed, it must integrate with the foundational systems that businesses rely on, like agreement management," said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign. "Agents require a robust framework to analyze terms and execute end-to-end agreement workflows. Docusign becomes the essential agreement layer for any platform's agent, leveraging deep context and the rigorous governance customers demand. This is what evolves a connected agent into a trusted partner for contract management."

Docusign has operated an open, API-first platform for two decades, with eSignature embedded in over 1,100 partner-built applications. Now, Docusign's MCP Server extends that same open architecture for agents leveraging a full intelligent agreement suite. The Docusign MCP Server is built for the enterprise, with account-level admin controls, global multi-region infrastructure, and multilingual support. Agents will draw on the full context of past negotiations, accepted terms, clauses, and company policy through Iris, Docusign's AI engine, across Intelligent Agreement Management, and even in advanced CLM workflows.

Available everywhere work happens

Docusign eliminates the need for app-switching that slows deals down by natively embedding contract analysis, sending, and tracking where work already happens. This runs bidirectionally with data from systems like Oracle flowing directly into Docusign, while Docusign's own capabilities extend outward into Slack, Perplexity, and Salesforce where Iris runs natively alongside Agentforce. Salesforce recently named Docusign as a Partner of the Year award winner, recognizing IAM integrations across Salesforce, Agentforce and Slack that empower customers to close deals, pull contract insight for renewals and collaborate on agreements without leaving their flow of work.

Here's what beta customers and partners had to share:

"Salesforce delivers AI agents you can trust, serving customers 24/7, generating new pipeline, and handling routine work at scale — so people can focus on judgment, relationships, and growth. Collaborating with Docusign adds real value for customers who are building their Agentic Enterprise with Salesforce. Agentforce and Slackbot will read and act on contract terms in real-time to accelerate high value sales and service actions. Together we accelerate business processes that our customers really care about," said Joe Inzerillo, President Enterprise & AI Technology, Salesforce. "As organizations move from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment, agreements are an essential workflow that agents need to understand and act on securely. Docusign's MCP capabilities give organizations a practical way to bring agreement workflows into the AI platforms and agent experiences where employees already work. Slalom looks forward to helping joint customers design and deploy these connected experiences in a way that drives productivity while supporting the governance, integration, and change management required for enterprise adoption," said Carlos Etter, Director of Global Enterprise Applications & CLM Practice Leader, Slalom. "Docusign is Experian's core agreement layer. As an early enterprise customer, we're exploring how agentic capabilities can strengthen our agreement intelligence — verifying accuracy at the drafting stage, automating across the contract lifecycle, and in doing so improving both how our teams work and how our clients experience contracting with us. We're excited by the potential agents hold for how enterprises manage agreements at scale," said Gary Sonnenthal, VP, Global Quote to Cash Product Owner, Experian. About Docusign

DocuSign (DOCU) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Surpass Estimates
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
DocuSign (DOCU - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.16 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.08 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.92 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +7.41%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this provider of electronic signature technology would post earnings of $1 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.09, delivering a surprise of +9%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

DocuSign, which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Software industry, posted revenues of $875.75 million for the quarter ended July 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.94%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $800.64 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

DocuSign shares have lost about 4.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12%.

What's Next for DocuSign?While DocuSign has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for DocuSign was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.15 on $887.15 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.54 on $3.5 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Internet - Software is currently in the top 31% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Cognyte Software Ltd. (CGNT - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2026. The results are expected to be released on September 9.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.09 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +12.5%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Cognyte Software Ltd.'s revenues are expected to be $108.7 million, up 11.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Our AI agents are now securely executing contract workflows end-to-end, and the IAM platform also ingested a record volume of agreements."

An AI assistant that analyzes agreement terms, reviews and redlines contracts, generates contract language, and triggers agentic workflows. Pre-built agents for common use cases, including agreement intake and vendor renewal. An Agent Studio where customers can build, govern, and deploy custom agents for specialized use cases like executing business playbooks, auditing compliance, and evaluating vendor pricing. Ability to add agents directly into Workflow Builder to bring AI-based decisions making and routing to traditional workflows. Released the Docusign Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling organizations to securely bring Docusign agreement intelligence and actions into the AI tools that they already use, while maintaining enterprise-grade security, permissions, and governance.

Expanded MCP server integrations with the Docusign app for the Slack Marketplace, which brings agentic contract workflows directly in Slack, as well as an integration with Perplexity to help teams automate contracting workflows and collaborate across their business partners. The Docusign connector for Gemini Enterprise is also now part of Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise for Legal solution. These are in addition to existing connectors with Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI, and Microsoft's Copilot.

Expansion of IAM for the Enterprise:

Integrated IAM capabilities including Agreement Manager into Docusign CLM, giving users an AI-powered repository that turns static files into searchable business insights so they can identify risks sooner and uncover cost-saving opportunities.

[1] Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on year-over-year guided revenue growth, revenue guidance range would be approximately 1.0% points lower for the quarter ending October 31, 2026 and 1.2% points lower for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.

[2] We expect that IAM will represent approximately 18% to 19% of total ARR exiting Q4 of Fiscal 2027.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP guidance measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, expenses that may be incurred in the future. Stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions, are impacted by many factors, including the timing of employee stock transactions, the future fair market value of our common stock, and our future hiring and retention needs, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for our historical non-GAAP financial results included in this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We present these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance using a management view, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. However, these non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, a substitute for, or superior to our GAAP results.

Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective GAAP measures, excluding expenses related to stock-based compensation, employer payroll tax on employee stock transactions, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and, as applicable, other special items. The amount of employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business. When evaluating the performance of our business and making operating plans, we do not consider these items (for example, when considering the impact of equity award grants, we place a greater emphasis on overall stockholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such grants). We believe it is useful to exclude these expenses in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies and over multiple periods. In addition to these exclusions, we subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to calculate non-GAAP net income. We utilize a fixed long-term projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027, we have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 21%.

Free cash flow: We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of revenue. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available (if any), after purchases of property and equipment, for operational expenses, investment in our business and to make acquisitions. Free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash in excess of our capital investments in property and equipment, including capitalized software development costs. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.

Annual Recurring Revenue: We calculate ARR as the annualized value of active customer contracts as of the measurement date. This calculation assumes that any contract expiring within the next 12 months renews on its existing terms, and excludes non-recurring revenue streams recognized at a point in time. When evaluating ARR on a product basis for contracts spanning multiple product lines, we allocate the support contract value to each product offering based on its proportional share of the total contract value. To annualize contracts, we divide the total committed contract value by the number of months in the subscription term and multiply by twelve. For international contracts denominated in foreign currencies, ARR is translated into U.S. dollars using a fixed exchange rate set at the beginning of each fiscal year. We adjust previously reported ARR annually to reflect these exchange rate changes for comparative purposes. We believe ARR measures our business performance and serves as a leading indicator of future revenue growth. We report total ARR annually at the end of the fiscal year. Because quarterly net new ARR represents only a fraction of our overall book of business, it is subject to timing volatility and can be highly volatile on a year-over-year basis. Because the objective of ARR is to evaluate the long-term growth of our business, these quarterly timing fluctuations can detract from the insight and usefulness of ARR. ARR is an operating metric and should be viewed independently of revenue, deferred revenue, and remaining performance obligations; it does not represent revenue under U.S. GAAP on an annual basis.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

DocuSign Stock Trades 24% Above Its 200-Day Average Ahead of Today's Earnings
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
DocuSign Inc. (NASDAQ:DOCU) shares are in the spotlight, with earnings on deck today, key growth metrics in focus, a technical setup showing a repaired trend and Edge Rankings all drawing attention.

Docusign stock is gaining positive traction. What’s pushing DOCU stock higher? Earnings Preview & HistoryDocuSign is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings today after market close. Analysts estimate EPS of $1.09 along with revenue of $867.43 million. For the prior quarter, DocuSign reported non-GAAP EPS of $1.09, beating estimates of 99 cents. The company also posted revenue of $830.2 million, up 9% year-over-year, in line with consensus expectations.

What to Watch: IAM Adoption, ARR Guidance, AI Partnerships, and BuybackInvestors will be closely tracking Intelligent Agreement Management adoption, since IAM represented 12.6% of total annual recurring revenue as of April 30, up from 10.8% at the end of the prior quarter and remains central to DocuSign’s growth strategy. Full-year ARR guidance will also be in focus, with management projecting 8.25% to 8.75% year-over-year growth to over $3.5 billion by the end of fiscal 2027.

Commentary on the company’s AI integrations, including its recent Google Cloud partnership, along with share buyback activity — which management has said will more than offset dilution from stock compensation — should offer additional signals on margin expansion heading into the back half of the year.

A Repaired Trend Testing Prior ResistanceDocusign is trading about 8% above its 20-day SMA ($61.66) and more than 20% above its 50-day SMA ($54.74), which keeps the intermediate trend pointed up and suggests pullbacks have been getting bought. It’s also roughly 24% above the 200-day SMA ($53.63), reinforcing that the longer-term trend has repaired since the first-half lows.

MACD is the cleaner momentum read here: it’s above its signal line with a positive histogram, which typically means upside pressure is building versus the recent baseline rather than fading. In plain terms, MACD compares two moving averages to gauge whether momentum is improving or cooling, and being above the signal line leans bullish.

The next technical test is whether price can work through the prior supply zone near the low $70s after the recent swing high in August, or whether it needs to digest gains first. If the stock slips, traders will watch whether it can stay constructive above the mid-to-high $50s area that has acted as a prior demand zone.

Key Resistance: $71.00 — a nearby round-number area that can act as a pivot where rebounds stall Key Support: $58.50 — a nearby level tied to a prior demand zone and closer to the 20-day/50-day trend structure Benzinga Edge RankingsBelow is the Benzinga Edge scorecard for DocuSign, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses compared to the broader market:

Momentum: Bullish (Score: 76.64) — The stock is screening as an above-average momentum name, consistent with price holding well above key moving averages. Value: Moderate (Score: 47.75) — Valuation looks closer to the middle of the pack, though the premium P/E suggests the market is still paying up for the growth profile. Growth: Bullish (Score: 96.56) — Growth factors are a key support for the bull case, helping explain why buyers have been willing to defend the uptrend. The Verdict: DocuSign’s Benzinga Edge signal reveals a growth-led profile with supportive momentum, which fits a stock that’s been trending above its major moving averages. The trade-off is that value is only moderate, so follow-through likely depends on DOCU continuing to deliver on growth expectations.

This serves as a significant indicator for predicting potential investor actions regarding the stock.

The collective assessment of analysts points to an estimated 'Revenue- Professional services and other' of $18.46 million. The estimate suggests a change of +13.6% year over year.

The average prediction of analysts places 'Revenue- Subscription' at $848.94 million. The estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +8.2%.

The consensus among analysts is that 'Total Customers' will reach 1.90 million. Compared to the current estimate, the company reported 1.70 million in the same quarter of the previous year.

The combined assessment of analysts suggests that 'Enterprise & Commercial Customers' will likely reach 289.32 thousand. Compared to the present estimate, the company reported 271.00 thousand in the same quarter last year.

DocuSign (DOCU) Earnings Expected to Grow: Should You Buy?
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The market expects DocuSign (DOCU - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended July 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on September 3, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis provider of electronic signature technology is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.08 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +17.4%.

Revenues are expected to be $868.04 million, up 8.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for DocuSign?For DocuSign, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.73%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination indicates that DocuSign will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that DocuSign would post earnings of $1 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.09, delivering a surprise of +9.00%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

DocuSign appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

DOCU currently has a forward P/E ratio of 13.06, while ADSK has a forward P/E of 20.17. We also note that DOCU has a PEG ratio of 0.78. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. ADSK currently has a PEG ratio of 1.20.

Another notable valuation metric for DOCU is its P/B ratio of 6.23. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, ADSK has a P/B of 16.86.

Based on these metrics and many more, DOCU holds a Value grade of B, while ADSK has a Value grade of D.

DOCU sticks out from ADSK in both our Zacks Rank and Style Scores models, so value investors will likely feel that DOCU is the better option right now.

Docusign: The Market Hasn't Caught Up To The Multiple Yet
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Docusign remains undervalued, trading at a 14x forward P/E versus peers at 23x, despite a recent 13% stock decline. I maintain a Buy rating, as DOCU's fundamentals have improved while its valuation discount to peers persists. Risks of continued underperformance exist, but strong fundamentals and market leadership support a potential rerating.

Will DocuSign (DOCU) Beat Estimates Again in Its Next Earnings Report?
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Have you been searching for a stock that might be well-positioned to maintain its earnings-beat streak in its upcoming report? It is worth considering DocuSign (DOCU - Free Report) , which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Software industry.

This provider of electronic signature technology has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The average surprise for the last two quarters was 7.66%.

For the most recent quarter, DocuSign was expected to post earnings of $1 per share, but it reported $1.09 per share instead, representing a surprise of 9.00%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.95 per share, while it actually produced $1.01 per share, a surprise of 6.32%.

Price and EPS Surprise

For DocuSign, estimates have been trending higher, thanks in part to this earnings surprise history. And when you look at the stock's positive Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction), it's a great indicator of a future earnings beat, especially when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.

Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

DocuSign currently has an Earnings ESP of +1.73%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on September 3, 2026.

Investors should note, however, that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss, but a negative value does reduce the predictive power of this metric.

Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, but that may not be the sole basis for their stocks moving higher. On the other hand, some stocks may hold their ground even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.

Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Why DocuSign (DOCU) is a Top Value Stock for the Long-Term
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.

Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.

Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: DocuSign (DOCU - Free Report) Docusign, Inc., founded in 2003 and headquartered in San Francisco, is a global provider of cloud-based software. The company’s Docusign Agreement Cloud is a cloud software suite that automates and connects the entire agreement process.

DOCU is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.

It also boasts a Value Style Score of B thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 13.18; value investors should take notice.

One analyst revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2027. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.01 to $4.54 per share. DOCU boasts an average earnings surprise of +8.7%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, DOCU should be on investors' short list.

Why DocuSign (DOCU) is a Top Growth Stock for the Long-Term
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.

The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.

Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.

VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.

It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: DocuSign (DOCU - Free Report) Founded in 2003 and headquartered in San Francisco, Docusign is a global provider of cloud-based software. The company’s Docusign Agreement Cloud is a cloud software suite that automates and connects the entire agreement process.

DOCU is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.

Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. DOCU has a Growth Style Score of A, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 18.2% for the current fiscal year.

One analyst revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2027, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.01 to $4.54 per share. DOCU also boasts an average earnings surprise of +8.7%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, DOCU should be on investors' short list.

Docusign Inc. (DOCU) Is a Trending Stock: Facts to Know Before Betting on It
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
DocuSign (DOCU - Free Report) has been one of the most searched-for stocks on Zacks.com lately. So, you might want to look at some of the facts that could shape the stock's performance in the near term.

Over the past month, shares of this provider of electronic signature technology have returned +26%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +1.9% change. During this period, the Zacks Internet - Software industry, which DocuSign falls in, has gained 7.3%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction?

While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.

Revisions to Earnings EstimatesRather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings.

Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.

DocuSign is expected to post earnings of $1.08 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +17.4%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged.

The consensus earnings estimate of $4.54 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +18.2%. This estimate has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $5.13 indicates a change of +12.9% from what DocuSign is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has remained unchanged.

Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, DocuSign is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:

12 Month EPS

Projected Revenue GrowthWhile earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth.

For DocuSign, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $868.04 million indicates a year-over-year change of +8.4%. For the current and next fiscal years, $3.49 billion and $3.77 billion estimates indicate +8.5% and +7.9% changes, respectively.

Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryDocuSign reported revenues of $830.23 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +8.7%. EPS of $1.09 for the same period compares with $0.9 a year ago.

Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $824.75 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +0.67%. The EPS surprise was +9%.

The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period.

ValuationWithout considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.

Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.

The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.

DocuSign is graded B on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.

Bottom LineThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about DocuSign. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

Why DocuSign (DOCU) is a Top Momentum Stock for the Long-Term
DOCU DocuSign
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.

Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.

VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.

Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: DocuSign (DOCU - Free Report) Founded in 2003 and headquartered in San Francisco, Docusign is a global provider of cloud-based software. The company’s Docusign Agreement Cloud is a cloud software suite that automates and connects the entire agreement process.

DOCU is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Momentum investors should take note of this Computer and Technology stock. DOCU has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 11.6% over the past four weeks.

Seven analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2027. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.11 to $4.54 per share. DOCU boasts an average earnings surprise of +8.7%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, DOCU should be on investors' short list.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.

The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.

It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.

A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. DOCU has a Growth Style Score of A, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 18.2% for the current fiscal year.
