On June 5, DocuSign fell 5.3% in after-hours trading, trading at $48.3/share, with trading volume of $20.97 million. The decline followed the company's fiscal Q1 earnings release after market close.
DocuSign reported Q1 results that exceeded market expectations. However, the company issued full-year revenue guidance of $3.49 billion to $3.502 billion, merely matching the consensus estimate of $3.49 billion and failing to deliver an upside surprise on the growth outlook. The stock had previously rallied significantly ahead of earnings, gaining 5.02% on May 29 and 5.12% on June 1, driven by pre-earnings positioning and application software sector strength. With actual guidance failing to justify further upside, early speculative capital executed a classic buy-the-rumor, sell-the-fact trade, concentrating profit-taking in the after-hours session.
Market consensus heading into the report called for quarterly revenue of $825 million, representing 10.24% year-over-year growth, and adjusted EPS of $0.99, up 22.24% year-over-year. The prior quarter showed stable profitability with gross margins of 79.82% and adjusted EPS of $1.01.
