DocuSign (DOCU) remains a "wait-and-see" story despite delivering a Q1 beat across all financial metrics, as investors look for more definitive evidence that its Intelligent Agreement Management platform can drive sustained enterprise growth, RBC Capital Markets said in a report emailed Friday.
DocuSign reported fiscal Q1 revenue of $830.2 million, up 9% year-over-year and above consensus estimates, while non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.09 also topped expectations. The report also highlighted improving "retention," with dollar net retention exceeding 102%, and a 12% increase in customers generating more than $300,000 in annual contract value.
IAM continued to gain "traction," accounting for 12.6% of total annual recurring revenue, up from 10.8% at the end of fiscal 2026. Management disclosed 40,000 IAM customers and introduced a new credit-based "IAM Platform Plan," while noting that IAM bookings in the North American enterprise segment grew faster than any other business segment during the quarter, according to the report.
RBC said DocuSign is making encouraging progress in expanding beyond "e-signatures" into a broader software platform, but it remains cautious until stronger signs emerge that IAM can achieve meaningful enterprise-scale adoption.
RBC maintained a sector perform rating on DocuSign, with a price target of $55.
