DocuSign (DOCU, Financial) just made waves on Wall Street, with its stock shooting up over 14% in premarket trading after crushing Q3 expectations. The e-signature powerhouse reported adjusted earnings of $0.90 per share on $754.8 million in revenue—beating estimates of $0.87 per share and $745.3 million in revenue. That's not all: subscription revenue jumped 8%, and billings climbed an impressive 9%, signaling a rock-solid performance. CEO Allan Thygesen wasn't shy about the results, calling the quarter a testament to "powerful new innovation" and noting that the company's Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform is delivering beyond expectations.
Here's the kicker: DocuSign bumped its fiscal-year revenue forecast to $2.96 billion, up from a previous range of $2.94 billion to $2.95 billion. Analysts are eating it up. Needham highlighted the billings growth as the real showstopper, while William Blair zeroed in on IAM's potential for upselling and creating "stickier customer relationships." A flurry of new features—like AI-powered contract reviews and deep integrations with Microsoft and SAP—cemented DocuSign's status as a leader in agreement management. Oh, and Gartner named DocuSign a "Magic Quadrant Leader" for the fifth straight year. Not too shabby, right?
Looking ahead, the company expects Q4 revenue to hit as high as $762 million, with billings potentially reaching $880 million. DocuSign isn't just coasting—it's doubling down on growth, hosting its first-ever developer ecosystem event and launching game-changing tools and integration with Microsoft 365 Copilot. Thygesen summed it up perfectly: DocuSign is scaling, innovating, and redefining how agreements get done. With these tailwinds, the stock's rally might just be getting started.
