DocuSign (DOCU) Post-Earnings Analysis: A Case for Holding Amidst Market Turbulence

DocuSign shares fell 1% to $92.9 on June 6, 2025, with a steeper 14%–17% after-hours plunge following its Q1 FY2026 earnings release. While revenue grew 7% YoY to $710M and EPS improved to $0.16 (vs. $0.00 in Q1 2024), investor sentiment soured due to billings growth concerns and trimmed full-year guidance.

Analyst Sentiment & Valuation

Target Price: $92.77 (mean; +0.1% upside from current $92.9).

Recommendations: 2 Buy, 17 Hold, 1 Underperform.

Bull Case: Successful IAM adoption could re-rate shares to $124.

Bear Case: Billings stagnation may push valuation toward $65.

Conclusion: Hold for Strategic Turnaround

While DocuSign’s billings miss and guidance cut justify near-term caution, its strong cash flow, leadership in e-signature, and IAM growth optionality suggest the selloff overstates risks. Investors should monitor Q2 billings (Aug 2025) and IAM adoption rates.

DocuSign's results and guidance miss expectations raise investor concerns

DocuSign's first-quarter results were strong, but its full-year guidance fell short of expectations, causing the stock price to fall sharply. Investors are concerned about future growth prospects.
