Year-to-date, DocuSign Inc. (NASDAQ:DOCU) stock gained 239.5% and on December 22nd it had a closing price of $251.60. Here is what Wasatch said:
“We recently liquidated our shares of DocuSign, Inc. (DOCU), which offers e-signature software that enables businesses and individuals to digitally prepare and execute agreements. Utilization of the software spiked during the pandemic and the stock was an excellent performer, propelling the company’s market capitalization to over $40 billion. While we still like the company, the valuation set a higher bar for the future. With the proceeds of our DocuSign sale, we rotated into what we viewed as more reasonably priced names.”
