Foolish Take
DocuSign’s sales are far larger than Box’s, but these software companies serve different customer segments. Both are seeing solid year-over-year revenue growth, a sign that their businesses continue to expand.
As a leader in digital legal documents, DocuSign has built up a base of nearly two million customers. It posted a solid 9% year-over-year sales increase in its fiscal first quarter ended April 30. However, its stock fell earlier in 2026 due to investor concerns over artificial intelligence eroding the business of software companies, resulting in a sector-wide sell-off.
DocuSign has incorporated AI into its document management workflows, and its rising revenue indicates customers are embracing the functionality. The company expects its fiscal 2027 sales to grow to about $3.5 billion, up from $3.2 billion in the prior year, so it seems AI is not hurting its business.
Box stock was also hit by Wall Street’s software sell-off, although its sales are growing faster than DocuSign’s. Its revenue of $305.9 million in its fiscal Q1, ended April 30, represented an 11% year-over-year increase.
Box generates 35% of revenue internationally with 70% of that from Japan, so it expects fiscal 2027 sales to be impacted by currency headwinds. Therefore, it forecasted only 9% year-over-year growth in fiscal 2027. Even so, the consistent revenue growth trend for Box, and DocuSign, suggests these are solid businesses to invest in for the long-term investor.

Box vs. DocuSign: What Quarterly Revenue Trends Tell Investors About These Software Companies

Duolingo, Inc. DOCU delivered first-quarter 2026 earnings of 89 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 79 cents by 12.7%. Revenues rose 27.0% year over year to $292 million and topped the consensus estimate of $288.5 million by 1.2%.
How Is Duolingo Faring?
By the first quarter of 2026, Duolingo reached 56.5 million daily active users (DAU) and 137.8 million monthly active users, with 12.5 million paid subscribers at the year-end, driven by thousands of A/B tests run by an experimentation engine and multiplying AI features.
Management aims at broadening access to AI-powered learning in 2026 as inference costs decline, while ensuring stable ad load to lower friction. Although the 2026 outlook prioritizes user growth over monetization, the combination of large-scale engagement, disciplined testing and a richer feature set creates multiple avenues to reaccelerate monetization beyond 2026.
Duolingo expanded new subjects alongside languages through 2025 and into early 2026. Chess amassed nearly 7 million daily active users less than a year post-launch, and management targets Duolingo Math to become a leading tutor app in 2026 with a parent-paid, supplemental positioning. The plan to introduce more AI experiences is expected to support the top line.
Duolingo, Inc. Revenue (TTM)
Management will hold ad load flat in 2026 to support free-user growth while targeting to push yield via more direct deals, higher-quality brand advertisers and language-in-learning targeting. This plan preserves engagement while working to move revenues per ad up without adding friction.
DOCU anticipates a share repurchase authorization of up to $400 million in 2026, signaling balance sheet flexibility. Despite a planned investment year, the 2026 outlook targets an adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.7%, with the first quarter of 2026 being the highest-margin quarter.
Meanwhile, DOCU witnessed a decline in DAU growth rate through 2025 and expects 20% year-over-year growth throughout 2026. Bookings growth is guided to $1.28 billion and revenues are anticipated to be $1.21 billion in 2026, with top-line growth expected to slow after the first quarter of 2026 and stabilize in the second half.
With AI features shared with a far greater portion of the user base, management expects a lower gross margin in 2026 due to increasing inference costs. The EBITDA margin cadence reflects this, with margins lowering mid-year before kicking back up in the second half. Even as unit costs fall, scaling AI-rich learning increases near-term costs and compresses margins.
We expect uncertainty as A/B testing on pricing and tiering in 2026 grows. While the strategy appears sound, this experimentation may create volatility in average revenue per user and revenue mix, especially as results take time to emerge.
Zacks Rank & Stocks to Consider
Duolingo currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Better-ranked stocks in the broader Zacks Business Services sector include Coherent Corp. COHR, presently flaunting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), and Visa V, with a Zacks Rank of 2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.

AI-Backed Growth Benefits DUOL Amid Expected Rise in Inference Costs

Docusign, Inc. DOCU shares havegained 7.4% over the past three months compared with the industry’s 7.8% growth and the Zacks S&P 500 Composite's 9.4% rise.
3-Month Share Price Performance
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2027 revenues is $3.5 billion, hinting at 8.5% year-over-year growth. The same is expected to move up 7.9% in fiscal 2028. For EPS, the consensus mark for fiscal 2027 and 2028 is pinned at $4.54 and $5.13, suggesting year-over-year growth of 18.2% and 12.9%, respectively.
Factors That Augur Well for DOCU’s Success
eSignature Market Expansion: Per Mordor Intelligence, the global eSignature market is expected to see a CAGR of 27.7% through 2031. The company holds on to a significant chunk of the market pie as it primarily competes with Adobe Acrobat Sign. It provides ample opportunity for the company to expand its eSignature business globally.
Subscription Fees Account Majority of Top Line: DOCU has generated 97% of its top line from subscription fees on average over the past three years. This model creates a recurring revenue stream for the company, accompanied by higher visibility in its cash flows.
Banking on its subscription model, DOCU can offer its software services at a cheaper rate that makes it accessible to clients, thus expanding its market. Multiple customer programs and initiatives led to customers increasing subscription revenue growth over time.
Strong Relationships With Tech-Giants: Docusign deepened its relationship with Salesforce and Microsoft. The company expanded its partnership with Salesforce in developing solutions for automation of the contract creation process and prolonged its collaboration among organizations that use Salesforce’s Slack.
DOCU integrated eSignature with Microsoft Teams, and it acts as the official electronic signature provider in Microsoft Teams’ Approval app. DOCU leverages these collaborations to sell into a higher number of accounts.
Risks Faced by Docusign
Weak Liquidity: DOCU’s current ratio at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2027 stood at 0.66, declining from the year-ago quarter’s 0.79. A current ratio of less than 1 does not bode well with investors as it highlights the company’s inability to cover short-term obligations.
Competitive Pressure Threatens Pricing: New and existing competitors introduce products or reduce prices. In those instances, the company might have to deal with the inability to win customers or retain the ones that exist. Demand for price discounts can rise as mid to large-sized companies renegotiate contracts. Hence, competitive pressure can affect DOCU’s pricing structure.
Lack of Dividend: DOCU does not have any plan to pay out cash dividends. Hence, the only way to achieve a return is share price appreciation, which is not guaranteed. Income-seeking investors will find it unappealing to buy DOCU shares on the grounds of non-payment of dividends.
DOCU’s Zacks Rank & Stocks to Consider
The company has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present.
Some better-ranked stocks from the broader Zacks Computer And Technology sector are Analog Devices ADI and Applied Materials AMAT, currently sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Analog Devices has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 28.8%. ADI delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 5.5%, on average.
Applied Materials has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 29.7%. AMAT delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 5.9%, on average.

Here's Why Investors Should Hold Docusign in Their Portfolios Now

ICF International’s ICFI launch of an AI-powered licensing, permitting and inspections accelerator, built on Salesforce, Inc. CRM and DocuSign, Inc. DOCU, strengthens its position in the government digital modernization market. By combining agentic AI with ICFI’s federal expertise, the solution aims to automate complex workflows, improve compliance, reduce manual effort and speed implementation, helping agencies lower operating costs and deliver better citizen services. The launch also highlights ICFI’s broader strategy of offering scalable, mission-specific AI solutions through its ICF Fathom portfolio.
Salesforce is a leading provider of cloud-based customer relationship management software, while DocuSign is a global provider of cloud-based electronic signature and agreement management solutions. Both CRM and DOCU currently carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
ICFI's commitment to its shareholders is encouraging, as evidenced by its decision to increase its share repurchase authorization by $100 million, bringing the total authorization to $165 million. The expanded buyback program, along with continued dividend payments, reflects management's confidence in the company's long-term growth prospects. The company continues to maintain a substantial backlog, a strong business pipeline and healthy cash flow, while still allowing room for organic investments and strategic acquisitions.
Moreover, the company's ability to secure repeat business is encouraging, as ICFI's $14 million recompete contract with the California Department of Transportation extends a partnership that has lasted more than 20 years. The award strengthens revenue visibility and highlights Caltrans's continued confidence in ICFI's environmental review, permitting and compliance expertise. By helping streamline project delivery and reduce regulatory risks for statewide transportation initiatives, the contract also reinforces ICFI's strong position in the infrastructure and government services market while supporting its long-term growth strategy.
Other Factors That Make ICFI an Attractive Pick
Solid Rank: ICFI carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Our research shows that stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 offer attractive investment opportunities. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Strong Growth Prospects: The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ICF International’s 2026 revenues is pinned at $1.9 billion, reflecting 1.5% year-over-year growth. The consensus estimate for 2026 earnings is pegged at $7.01 per share, indicating a 3.55% year-over-year increase.
Robust Price Performance: A look at the company’s price trend reveals that ICFI’s shares have surged 8.4% over the past 30 days, surpassing the Zacks Government Services industry’s 0.5% growth.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Bullish Industry Rank: The industry to which ICFI belongs currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 27 (out of 246). Such a favorable rank places it in the top 11% of Zacks Industries. Studies show that 50% of a stock’s price movement is directly related to the performance of the industry group to which it belongs.
A mediocre stock within a strong group is likely to outperform a robust stock in a weak industry. Reckoning the industry’s performance becomes imperative.

Here's Why ICF International's Stock Is a Great Pick for Investors Now

Docusign, Inc. DOCU is benefiting from rising customer demand for eSignature. Its recurring subscription revenues, global presence and product expansion strategy boost long-term growth. Strong relationships with tech giants further support DOCU’s ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the pricing structure poses a significant concern for the company. Low liquidity further pressures profitability and scalability, while a non-dividend strategy makes the stock less attractive to investors.
How Is DOCU Faring?
Docusign continues to drive growth through strong customer demand for eSignature in a large addressable market. The company has consistently extended its customer base over the years, growing from 1.3 million in fiscal 2023, 1.5 million in fiscal 2024, 1.7 million in fiscal 2025 and 1.8 million in fiscal 2026. Despite this rising demand, the eSignature market remains largely untapped, giving DOCU significant opportunities to expand eSignature across businesses globally and boost its revenues.
DOCU’s total revenue mainly consists of fees generated through a strong subscription model, generally ranging from one to three years, which includes its product usage and access to customer support. This model helps the company expand the market by making expensive software more affordable and accessible to limited-resource companies. Numerous customer programs, initiatives and customer additions have steadily supported subscription revenue growth over time.
Docusign Inc. Revenue (TTM)
The company has witnessed rising international revenues over time, representing 26%, 28% and 29% of total revenues in fiscal 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. The company has experienced rising demand and is directing its sales and marketing efforts to tap this potential across multiple countries like Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
DOCU is focused on its growth strategy, which includes the expansion of its product use case into adjacent markets by managing and automating various agreement workflows across different business processes. The company continues investing in its Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and other forms of support to further drive its value creation cycle between developers and itself.
DOCU pursues growth with strategic investments and partnerships. Its expanded relationships with tech giants such as Salesforce CRM and Microsoft MSFT have significantly boosted the company’s overall growth. DOCU and Salesforce are jointly developing solutions to automate the contract creation process and enhance collaboration among organizations that use Salesforce’s Slack. Recently, Docusign integrated eSignature with Microsoft Teams and became an official electronic signature provider in Microsoft Teams’ Approvals app. This will enable DOCU to sell products to a far greater number of client accounts.
Meanwhile, Docusign’s pricing structure is at risk from competitive pressure. New competitors’ products and aggressive pricing could limit DOCU's ability to attract and retain customers using its traditional pricing model. Companies may demand price discounts as part of sales contract negotiations, which will affect the business, operating results and financial position of the company.
The company’s current ratio (a measure of liquidity) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2026 was 0.73, lower than the industry average of 1.92. A current ratio of less than 1 often indicates that the company may not be well-positioned to pay off its short-term obligations.
DOCU does not offer dividends, making share price appreciation the primary source of returns for its shareholders. This makes the stock less attractive to investors seeking cash dividend returns.
Docusign currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Research Chief Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
This company targets millennial and Gen Z audiences, generating nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter alone. A recent pullback makes now an ideal time to jump aboard. Of course, all our elite picks aren’t winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging which shot up +129.6% in little more than 9 months.

Notable Monday Option Activity: FTDR, DOCU, RDDT

Docusign DOCU reported impressive first-quarter fiscal 2027 results, with both earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate, driven by continued adoption of its Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform and solid profitability.
The company’s first-quarter fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings of $1.09 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9% and increased 21.1% year over year. Revenues of $830.2 million surpassed the consensus estimate by 0.7% and rose 8.7% year over year.
However, the better-than-expected results failed to impress the market, as the stock has declined 7.2% since the earnings release on June 4, due to skepticism among shareholders.
Docusign Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
DOCU Sees Broad-Based Revenue Growth
First-quarter revenues reached $830.2 million, driven by steady customer demand and approximately 1.6 percentage points of favorable foreign-exchange impact. International markets remained an important growth driver, with overseas operations accounting for 31% of total revenues.
Management noted that customer activity remained healthy across the business. Total customer count approached 1.9 million, while envelope volume continued to grow year over year. Consumption trends improved across most customer segments and vertical markets, supporting management’s confidence in accelerating annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth during fiscal 2027.
Docusign Gains Traction With IAM Platform
IAM continued emerging as Docusign’s primary growth initiative. The company reported that 40,000 customers invested in the platform and IAM bookings in North American enterprise accounts grew faster than in any other customer segment during this quarter.
The company expanded the platform’s capabilities through new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered offerings under its Iris agreement AI engine. New contract review agents, workflow automation tools and integrations with platforms such as Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, Salesforce, Coupa and Thomson Reuters are intended to deepen customer engagement and strengthen Docusign’s competitive position in agreement management.
A notable highlight was IAM’s growing contribution to the business in this quarter. The platform represented 12.6% of total ARR, up from 10.8% at the end of the prior quarter, reflecting rising customer adoption.
DOCU Delivers Strong Profitability
Profitability remained a key strength. Non-GAAP operating income rose 18% year over year to $266 million, while operating margin expanded 250 basis points to 32%. Results benefited from higher revenues, disciplined spending, increased capitalization of development costs and an insurance-related legal reimbursement.
Non-GAAP gross margin was 81.5% compared with 82.3% in the year-earlier period. Although cloud migration investments continued to pressure margins modestly, results came in ahead of management’s expectations.
Docusign Generates Robust Cash Flow
The company continued to generate strong cash flow. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $321.7 million compared with $251.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Free cash flow increased to $289.4 million from $227.8 million a year earlier.
Docusign ended the quarter with approximately $1 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments with no debt. The company repurchased $317.5 million of stock during the quarter, marking the largest quarterly buyback in its history. Management indicated that capital returns remain a priority, with $2.4 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization at quarter-end.
DOCU Raises Confidence With Fiscal 2027 Outlook
For the second quarter of fiscal 2027, Docusign expects revenues to be between $865 million and $869 million, with the midpoint of $867 million being above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $866.4 million. The company projects non-GAAP gross margin of 81.5% to 81.7% and non-GAAP operating margin of 29.7% to 30.2%.
For fiscal 2027, management reaffirmed revenue guidance of $3.49-$3.502 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $3.49 billion. DOCU expects ARR growth to be in the range of 8.25% to 8.75%. IAM is projected to represent approximately 18% of total ARR by year-end, implying more than $600 million in ARR from the platform. The company also raised its full-year non-GAAP operating margin outlook to 30.5-31.0%, underscoring confidence in growth and operating efficiency.
Currently, Docusign carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Docusign's digital agreement management tools kept thousands of businesses running at the height of the pandemic.
Demand for the company's products faded as social conditions began returning to normal in 2022, resulting in a steep sell-off in its stock.
Docusign now has a new platform that uses artificial intelligence to transform contract management processes, and it could turn the company's fortunes around.
Docusign (NASDAQ: DOCU) used to be known for its e-signature and digital contract management software that allowed thousands of businesses to continue making deals at the height of the pandemic, when lockdowns and social restrictions prevented travel. As a result, its stock soared to an all-time high of $310 in late 2021, a tenfold increase from its 2018 initial public offering (IPO) price of $29.
But demand cooled for Docusign's platform after 2022 as social conditions mostly returned to normal, causing a sharp slowdown in the company's revenue growth. Its stock now trades at just $48 as I write this, which is 84% below its 2021 peak.

However, that might present an opportunity for long-term investors: In 2024 Docusign launched a new platform, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), called Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM), which completely transforms contract management processes for businesses. It's already experiencing strong demand, and it could be the bullish catalyst Docusign needs for a long-term turnaround.
IAM is a powerful enterprise platform
In 2024, global consulting network Deloitte conducted a study that found businesses waste over 55 billion hours each year due to inefficient agreement management processes, resulting in $2 trillion in lost economic value. IAM was built to solve that very problem.
One of IAM's most powerful resources is called Navigator, a digital repository where businesses have already collectively stored millions of agreements. It uses AI to extract important information from every document and then makes that discoverable via a search function, so employees no longer have to spend hours digging through contracts manually. It also uses AI to track expiration dates, so management can stop auto-renewals for contracts they no longer need, or get ahead of sales agreements that are about to lapse.
Then there is AI-Assisted Review, which uses an organization's preset standards to autonomously identify risks and opportunities in every agreement. Docusign says one of its customers, Crete United, used this tool to reduce contract negotiation times by 80% and improve deal execution speed by 90%.
As of April 30, the end of Docusign's fiscal 2027 first quarter, IAM accounted for just 12.6% of the company's total annual recurring revenue (ARR). That was up from 10.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, just three months earlier, but it's clear there's still a long runway for growth.
Steady growth on the top and bottom lines
Docusign generated $830.2 million in revenue during the fiscal 2027 first quarter, which topped management's forecast range of $822 million to $826 million. That was a modest growth rate of 9%, so the company certainly isn't shooting the lights out right now -- especially compared to five years ago, when quarterly sales growth was regularly above 40%.
However, management is sacrificing some top-line growth to focus more on profitability so it can build a more sustainable business for the long term. Total operating expenses were flat during the first quarter, with a small reduction in marketing spending, typically a growth-oriented cost.
As a result, Docusign managed to generate a profit based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $78.2 million for the period, which was a year-over-year increase of 8%. After excluding one-off and noncash expenses like stock-based compensation, the company delivered a much bigger adjusted (non-GAAP) profit of $214.9 million.
Docusign could give up some of its profits by investing more heavily in areas like research and development (R&D) and marketing, which would likely lead to faster revenue growth. This is a useful lever that management could pull in the future.
Docusign stock is attractively valued right now
Docusign is currently trading at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 3.1, which is a steep discount to its long-term average of 12.1 dating back to its IPO. The stock looks quite attractive from that perspective.
Based on trailing-12-month GAAP earnings of $1.57 per share, Docusign's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 30.9. That's a discount to the Nasdaq-100 index, which is trading at a P/E of 35.2, so Docusign is slightly cheaper than the broader technology market right now.
Therefore, as IAM becomes a larger part of the company's revenue, I think Docusign's current stock price offers investors an attractive long-term entry point.
