Historical backtesting of DOCU’s performance around earnings releases from 2022 to the present reveals mixed short-term outcomes but a generally positive trend over longer horizons. While the 3-day win rate stands at 46.67% with an average return of -0.03%, the 30-day win rate improves to 46.67% with an average return of 1.34%, suggesting that positive momentum often emerges over time.

Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.85, meeting the consensus estimate of $0.85. This quarter, analysts had expected revenue growth of 6.1% year on year, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.85.

DocuSign also announced an increase to its share repurchase program, indicating confidence in its future prospects. The company has consistently exceeded revenue expectations over the past two years, with an average beat of 1.3% [1].

The performance of DocuSign's peers in the productivity software segment also influenced the market's reaction. Dropbox's revenues decreased 1.4% year on year, while Box reported revenues up 8.9% year on year, both meeting or exceeding analysts' expectations [1].

Investors are optimistic about DocuSign's future, with the stock trading at an average analyst price target of $89.28, compared to the current share price of $74.34 [1]. The company's strong earnings report and share repurchase program indicate a positive outlook for the coming quarters.
