DocuSign (DOCU) Gains 16.6% in the Past 3 Months: Here's How
DocuSign, Inc. (DOCU - Free Report) shares have had an impressive run over the past three months. The stock has gained 16.6% compared with 11.4% rise of the industry it belongs to.
Reasons for the Upside
DocuSign’s current ratio (a measure of liquidity) was at 1.02 at the end of third-quarter fiscal 2023, higher than 0.96 recorded at the end of the prior year quarter. The gradually increasing current ratio bodes well for DocuSign as that implies that the risk of default is less.

eSignature, DocuSign’s anchor product, enables virtual but secure signing and sending of agreements on a variety of devices, from anywhere in the world. The company’s top line is significantly benefiting from continued customer demand for eSignature. Despite this rising demand, the market for eSignature remains largely untapped which keeps DocuSign in a position to expand eSignature across businesses around the world.
Strong Revenue Growth
Driven by the above tailwinds, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2024 earnings indicates an increase of 19.4% year over year to $2.15 billion in the past 60 days.
