JMP maintains DigitalOcean stock at Market Outperform

Wednesday, JMP analysts reaffirmed their Market Outperform rating and $55.00 price target for DigitalOcean (NYSE: DOCN) following the company’s first-quarter earnings release for 2025. DigitalOcean’s performance exceeded expectations with a non-GAAP EPS of $0.56, surpassing the consensus of $0.44. The company also reported an adjusted EBITDA margin of 41%, which was higher than the anticipated 39%. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong profitability with a 60% gross margin and is trading below its Fair Value, suggesting potential upside opportunity.

DigitalOcean’s adjusted free cash flow was a negative $1 million, which did not meet the expected $19 million consensus. However, the company’s revenue was approximately $211 million, a 14% increase year-over-year and a slight acceleration from the 13% growth observed in the previous quarter. The company also saw its Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) grow by 13%, up from 12% in the last quarter. With a current ratio of 2.42, the company maintains strong liquidity to meet its short-term obligations.

Despite the better-than-expected results, DigitalOcean’s stock fell approximately 14% post-earnings announcement. This decline was partly attributed to concerns over the refinancing of the company’s $1.5 billion in convertible debt. Year to date, DigitalOcean’s shares are down around 17%, compared to a 5% decrease in the Russell 3000 index.
