Overview

  • DocuSign reported Q1 fiscal 2027 revenue of $830.2 million and adjusted earnings per share of $1.09, beating consensus estimates and showing 9% year‑over‑year revenue growth.
  • The company set Q2 revenue guidance at $865 million to $869 million and raised full‑year revenue guidance narrowly to $3.49 billion–$3.502 billion, a midpoint roughly in line with Street expectations.
  • DocuSign said its Intelligent Agreement Management platform now represents 12.6% of ARR and that about 40,000 customers are investing in the IAM roadmap, signaling product traction for its AI strategy.
  • Strong cash generation continued with operating cash flow of $321.7 million and free cash flow of $289.4 million, and the company repurchased roughly $317.5 million of stock while holding about $1 billion in cash and investments.
  • Shares fell about 4–5% after the report as Dollar Net Retention held at 102%, analysts expressed caution and investors will likely watch DNR and IAM’s share of ARR for clearer proof of a durable growth inflection.
