DocuSign 2026 Q2 Earnings Record Net Income Despite EPS Decline

DocuSign reported its fiscal 2026 Q2 earnings on Sep 04th, 2025, delivering a record net income for the fiscal Q2 in nine years despite a significant drop in EPS. The company slightly outperformed expectations with revenue growth and raised its full-year revenue guidance, signaling confidence in its long-term strategy.

Revenue
DocuSign’s total revenue increased by 8.8% to $800.64 million in Q2 2026, driven primarily by strong performance in its subscription business. Subscription revenue alone reached $784.39 million, representing the vast majority of total revenue, while professional services and other revenue contributed $16.25 million. The company's omnichannel go-to-market strategy and innovation in e-signature and CLM solutions fueled the growth, particularly in international and digital markets.

Earnings/Net Income
DocuSign’s EPS declined sharply by 92.9% to $0.31 in Q2 2026 from $4.34 in the prior year. Similarly, net income fell to $62.97 million, down from $888.21 million. Despite the earnings contraction, the company set a new nine-year high for Q2 net income, reflecting improved operational efficiency and strong top-line performance. The EPS decline, however, indicates margin pressures and ongoing investments in strategic initiatives.

Price Action
DocuSign’s stock has shown modest gains across key timeframes, with a 1.37% increase during the latest trading day, a 2.09% rise for the week, and a 1.14% rise month-to-date.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review
Following the earnings release, market sentiment appeared cautiously optimistic, supported by the company’s strong revenue growth and updated guidance. The stock’s modest gains suggest investor confidence in DocuSign’s long-term potential despite short-term earnings headwinds. The company’s emphasis on innovation and market expansion appears to resonate with investors, although the sharp EPS decline remains a point of caution.

CEO Commentary
Allan Thygesen, CEO of DocuSign, described Q2 as an “outstanding quarter” driven by platform innovation and go-to-market changes. He highlighted $801 million in revenue growth (+9% YoY) and $818 million in billings (+13% YoY), emphasizing the strong demand for e-signature and CLM solutions, with IAM contributing growing momentum. Thygesen noted international and digital revenue outpacing domestic growth and underscored IAM as a “massive multi-year opportunity” with enterprise clients. He expressed optimism about IAM's transformative potential and praised the team’s execution, reinforcing the company’s focus on long-term, profitable growth.

Billings guidance was set at $785–$795 million for Q3 (5% YoY) and $3.325–$3.355 billion for the year (7% YoY).
