DocuSign: Questions Around Growth Remain
DocuSign posted revenue and earnings growth, beating estimates. The company's free cash flow fell slightly, and its full-year forecast underwhelmed investors. DocuSign has steadied itself, but investors are not yet seeing clear answers to the question of how growth can accelerate from here. 10 stocks we like better than Docusign › Here's our initial take on DocuSign's (NASDAQ: DOCU) financial report. Metric Q1 FY25 Q1 FY26 Change vs. Expectations Revenue $709.6 million $763.7 million 8% Beat Earnings per share (adjusted) $0.82 $0.90 10% Beat Non-GAAP billings $709.5 million $739.6 million 4% n/a Free cash flow $232.1 million $227.8 million -2% n/a There was a lot to like about DocuSign's latest quarter. Revenue and adjusted earnings per share were up 8% and 10%, respectively, topping Wall Street expectations. GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) gross margin came in at 79.4%, up 5 basis points from a year ago, and the company posted solid free cash flow of $227.8 million. DocuSign also surpassed the 10,000 Intelligent Agreement Management customer threshold during the period. Billings rose 4% in the quarter, but DocuSign warned that it expects momentum to fade as the year goes on. For fiscal 2026, DocuSign is now forecasting total billings of $3.285 billion and $3.39 billion, down from its prior guidance for $3.3 billion to $3.4 billion. The billings revision, though slight, highlights the biggest challenge facing DocuSign right now. The business is healthy and profitable, but investors are worried about where growth will come from. The company is forecasting full-year fiscal 2026 revenue of $3.15 billion to $3.16 billion, which, at the midpoint, would represent just a 5% gain from last year's $2.98 billion in total revenue. DocuSign is putting its cash to work for investors, announcing a new $1 billion repurchase program. But with the company's share count up nearly 6% in just the last three years, much of the buyback would only serve to offset share-based compensation that has added to the float. Investors were more focused on the look ahead than the results. DocuSign shares were down 15% in aftermarket trading following the release but ahead of the company's call with investors. CEO Allan Thygesen, who has been on the job since October 2022, called the results "an important quarter for Docusign's long-term transformation," highlighting the company's "ambitious product roadmap." Expect investors to press Thygesen for specifics about how the transformation is going and when it will translate into real, sustained growth. DocuSign invented its category and continues to hold strong in its core business, even up against competition from Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), which can incorporate e-signatures into broader offerings. But Wall Street is forward-looking. Shares of DocuSign are up nearly 75% over the past year as an initial response to Thygesen's turnaround ambitions. Until investors gain confidence that DocuSign has found a formula to expand its core offering and generate significant revenue growth, the stock could face limits on its ability to accelerate higher from here.

Wall Street gains ground following a solid jobs report
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose on Wall Street Friday following a better-than-expected report on the U.S. job market. The S&P 500 index rose 0.9% in afternoon trading. The benchmark index remains on track to notch a second consecutive winning week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 344 points, or 0.8% as of 1:22 p.m. Eastern. The Nasdaq composite rose 1.2% The gains were broad, with nearly every sector in the benchmark S&P 500 rising. Technology stocks, with their outsized values, gave the market its biggest boost. Chipmaker Nvidia jumped 1.6% and iPhone maker Apple rose 1.4%. Tesla rose 5.5%, regaining some the big losses it suffered on Thursday when Trump and Musk sparred feverishly on social media. Circle Internet Group, the U.S.-based issuer of one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, rose 43%. That adds to its 38.7% gain from Thursday when it debuted on the New York Stock Exchange at $60 per share. U.S. employers slowed their hiring last month, but still added a solid 139,000 jobs amid uncertainty over President Donald Trump's trade war. The closely-watched monthly update reaffirmed that the job market remains resilient, despite worries from businesses and consumers about the impact of tariffs on goods going to and coming from the U.S. and its most important trading partners. 'It looks like, for now, everything is kind of running smoothly,' said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Northlight Asset Management. 'Investors see that as a positive, but we also haven't seen the full effect of tariffs yet.' President Donald Trump's on-again-off-again tariffs continue to weigh on companies. Lululemon Athletica plunged 20.2% after the maker of yoga clothing cut its profit expectations late Thursday as it tries to offset the impact of tariffs while being buffeted by competition from start-up brands. Lululemon joins a wide range of companies, from retailers to airlines, who have warned investors about the potential hit to their revenue and profits because of tariffs raising costs and consumers potentially tightening their spending. Hopes that Trump will lower his tariffs after reaching trade deals with other countries have been among the main reasons the S&P 500 has rallied back so furiously since dropping roughly 20% from its record two months ago. It's now back within 2.5% of its all-time high. The economy is already absorbing the impact from tariffs on a wide range of goods from key trading partners, along with raw materials such as steel. Heavier tariffs could hit businesses and consumers in the coming months. The U.S. economy contracted during the first quarter. Recent surveys by the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, found that both American manufacturing and services businesses contracted last month. On Tuesday, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development forecast 1.6% growth for the U.S. economy this year, down from 2.8% last year. The uncertainty over tariffs and their economic impact has put the Federal Reserve in a delicate position. 'All things being equal, you can clearly see they are on hold,' Zaccarelli said. The central bank is holding its benchmark interest rate steady as it worries about tariffs reigniting inflation. It fought hard, using interest rate increases, to ease inflation rates back toward its target of 2% and rates have been hovering just above that level. The Fed has been hesitant to cut interest rates in 2025 after trimming rates three times late last year. While lower interest rates can give the economy a boost, they can also push inflation higher. That could be especially damaging if import taxes are also raising costs for businesses and consumers. Wall Street expects the central bank to hold rates steady at its June meeting, but traders are forecasting that it will have to cut interest rates later this year in an effort to prop up the economy. In the bond market, Treasury yields made significant gains. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.49% from 4.39% late Thursday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks traders' expectations for what the Federal Reserve will do with overnight interest rates, rose to 4.04% from 3.92% late Thursday. Markets in Asia were mixed and markets in Europe were were mostly higher. ___ AP writers Elaine Kurtenbach and Matt Ott contributed to this report.

Winklevoss twins' crypto firm Gemini confidentially files for IPO
Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange and custodian founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has confidentially filed for an IPO in the U.S., according to a press release on Friday. The number of shares and the pricing terms have not yet been decided upon, and the company said a listing "is expected to occur after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions." By filing confidentially, Gemini can test investor appetite and prepare for a public debut without immediate scrutiny of its financials. The announcement comes after the SEC wrapped up its investigation into Gemini in February without recommending enforcement action, and follows a $5 million settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in January. Gemini is the latest crypto firm to pursue a public listing as President Donald Trump's administration pushes more favorable regulations for the industry, which heavily funded his campaign. Stablecoin issuer Circle held a blockbuster debut this week, with its stock soaring in its first two days on the market. Mike Novogratz's Galaxy Digital moved its listing from Toronto to the Nasdaq last month. Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange and custodian, was founded by the Winklevoss twins in 2014. In March, the company named former Affirm executive Dan Chen as its CFO in preparation for a public offering. "I'm looking forward to helping Gemini scale by driving financial strategy as the company enters its next phase of growth," Chen wrote in a post on LinkedIn at the time.
