What’s Happening with DOCU?
As the company deals in cloud-based e-signature solutions that are accessible online remotely, the company’s demand surged in the pandemic. The Covid-19 led almost all businesses to operate online/remotely, hence increasing the demand for more online solutions in the market. With the increased demand for the company’s solutions, the investors expected DOCU to post great Q3 earnings. While the earnings did beat the EPS and revenue estimates, they failed to impress the investors. The company’s earnings showed signs of slowing demand and provided lower guidance.
As most businesses are returning to normal working in the offices, it is only natural for DOCU’s services’ demand to go down. This situation led the stock to tumble in the after-hours on Thursday.
