Read MoreHide Full Article
DocuSign, Inc. (DOCU - Free Report) is currently benefiting from continued customer demand for eSignature, the company’s anchor product.
DocuSign recently reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 non-GAAP earnings per share of 48 cents that matched the Zacks Consensus Estimate and increased 29.7% year over year. Revenues of $580.8 million surpassed the consensus mark by 3.6% and increased 34.8% year over year.
The company’s shares have declined 48.2% over the past year compared with 59.4% decline of the industry it belongs to.
DocuSign remains focused on continuously acquiring eSignature customers, expanding eSignature use cases within existing customers, improving its offerings, popularizing other Agreement Cloud products to new and existing customers, and expanding internationally. The company continues to invest in sales, marketing and technical expertise across a number of industry verticals.
DocuSign’s top line is significantly benefiting from continued customer demand for eSignature. Despite this rising demand, the market for eSignature remains largely untapped, and this keeps DocuSign in a position to expand the same across businesses around the world.
The acquisitions of Seal Software and Liveoak Technologies in 2020 have added functionality to DocuSign Agreement Cloud and significantly expanded the company’s eNotary offerings. These buyouts aid the company in continuously developing new features internally while also aptly utilizing investments to tap a large addressable market.

Total operating expenses of $474.6 million increased 34% year over year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Total operating expenses of $1.3 billion increased 36.6% year over year in fiscal 2021.
