DigitalOcean stock rating maintained by JMP amid recent developments

JMP Securities analyst maintained a Market Outperform rating and $55.00 price target on DigitalOcean (NYSE:DOCN) on Tuesday, aligning with the broader analyst consensus. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets range from $31 to $55, with the company maintaining a "GOOD" Financial Health score. The reaffirmation comes after several recent developments affecting the cloud infrastructure provider.

Access Industries Management, DigitalOcean’s largest shareholder, filed a Schedule 13D on June 4 disclosing the sale of $100 million worth of stock, representing 3.5 million shares at $28.60 each.

The rating maintenance also follows the June 9 appearance of J.J. Kardwell, CEO of DigitalOcean competitor Vultr, at the Citizens AI Dinner in San Francisco.

DigitalOcean recently announced a collaboration with AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) to advance artificial intelligence using cloud-based GPUs, representing a strategic move in the competitive cloud computing space.

The company’s stock has decreased approximately 17% year-to-date, underperforming compared to the Russell 3000 index, which has increased 2% during the same period. Despite current market volatility, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued, with strong liquidity ratios and positive earnings expectations for the upcoming year.

In other recent news, DigitalOcean Holdings , Inc. has reported its first-quarter earnings for 2025, exceeding analyst expectations with a non-GAAP EPS of $0.56, compared to a forecast of $0.42. Revenue for the quarter reached $211 million, surpassing the anticipated $208.53 million, marking a 14% year-over-year increase. The company also reported an adjusted EBITDA margin of 41%, higher than the expected 39%. Despite these positive results, DigitalOcean’s stock experienced a decline, partly due to concerns over refinancing its $1.5 billion convertible debt.

Additionally, DigitalOcean has expanded its GPU offerings for AI workloads, introducing new NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) GPUs on its cloud platform to support artificial intelligence applications. This expansion aims to provide customers with greater access to affordable GPUs for diverse AI workloads. In other developments, JMP analysts have maintained their Market Outperform rating for DigitalOcean, reaffirming a price target of $55.00 following the earnings release.

The company has also introduced over 50 new products and features, emphasizing a focus on AI and generative AI applications. DigitalOcean’s strategy includes scaling with digital-native enterprises and pursuing differentiated AI opportunities, as highlighted by CEO Patti Trini Vossen. The firm has projected continued revenue growth, with guidance suggesting Q2 2025 revenue between $215.5 million and $217.5 million.
