The company posted an earnings per share of $0.90, outperforming the forecasted $0.81, and revenue reached $763.7 million, exceeding the anticipated $749.19 million. Despite these positive results, DocuSign revised its full-year billings guidance down by approximately $70 million due to fewer early renewals and caution regarding the macroeconomic environment. Analysts from Evercore ISI maintained an In Line rating for DocuSign, noting that while the company’s revenue and earnings were strong, billings growth of 4% fell short of expectations.
