DocuSign, Inc. (NASDAQ:DOCU)
DocuSign, Inc. (NASDAQ:DOCU) is an electronics signature solutions provider. It provides Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), an AI-powered intelligent agreement management (IAM) platform, Gen for Salesforce, and Document Generation streamlines. Though the company has been facing a decline in stock prices recently, shares jumped 1.4% after receiving an upgrade.
The upgrade came from the investment firm William Blair on the back of DocuSign (NASDAQ:DOCU)’s Intelligent Agreement Management platform. Analyst Jake Roberge raised his rating from Market Perform to Outperform on the stock. He said that moving forward, the company’s Intelligent Agreement Management platform will improve customer relationships, enhance the adoption of new platform features, and drive business growth.
“In DocuSign’s most recent quarter, IAM represented a high-single-digit percent of deal volume for the company’s direct channel and over 20% of direct new customer lands. While it is still early days for the platform, DocuSign expects IAM to represent a low-double-digit percent of its subscription book of business by the end of fiscal 2026, up from a low-single-digit percent of the company’s subscription business in fiscal 2025.”
Analysts expect DocuSign (NASDAQ:DOCU) to drive double-digit growth in 2026. The optimism is justified as Citizens also reiterated its target price of $124 and Market Outperform rating on the stock after the company’s strong Q4 2025 earnings results:
“We continue to view DocuSign as an excellent opportunity for long-term capital appreciation for a number of reasons.”
Overall, DOCU ranks 9th on our list of stocks that analysts are bullish for 2025. While we acknowledge the potential of DOCU as a leading investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is as promising as DOCU but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
