Investing.com - Piper Sandler raised its price target on DocuSign Inc. (NASDAQ:DOCU) to $90 from $85 while maintaining a Neutral rating following the company’s second-quarter results. According to InvestingPro data, the stock currently trades at a P/E ratio of 13.95, with analysts setting price targets ranging from $76 to $124.
The research firm cited DocuSign’s strong performance with beats across both top and bottom lines, driven by recent platform innovations and go-to-market changes implemented in the first quarter.
These strategic adjustments resulted in success with both commercial and enterprise customers across the eSignature portfolio, with international revenue growth accelerating to 13% year-over-year compared to 10% in the previous quarter.
DocuSign also showed improved net revenue retention trends and further traction in its Identity and Access Management (IAM) offerings, prompting the company to raise its full-year guidance for both billings and revenue.
