Proactive Investors - Docusign (NASDAQ:DOCU), the electronic contract provider, surged 8% in pre-market trading in the US after better-than-expected earnings and a few operational shakeups.

Revenues jumped by 12% annually to US$661mln in the first quarter, beating the US$642mln predicted by analysts.

Underlying earnings reached US$539,000 compared to a loss of US$27.4mln for the software group in the same period a year ago.

Webforms was announced too, a new tool by Docusign that allows customers to create and customise their own forms before being able to analyse the data from the responses.

A series of C-suite switches were also unveiled, including Blake Grayson’s appointment as chief financial officer.

Grayson previously worked in the finance division at Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and was CFO at The Trade Desk.

Other appointments include Dimitri Krakovsky as the new chief product officer, whose previous experience includes CP4, Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Yahoo, and Kurt Sauer as chief security officer.

Friday’s bounce in share price certainly contradicts some of the research UBS had produced leading up to the results.

Ahead of the results and after interviews with customers to gauge the demand for the tech group’s service, Swiss bank UBS lowered its price target to US$45 and reiterated a ‘sell’ rating.

Shares are now trading at just over US$63 prior to the US market opening on Friday, however, the stock remains well short of the US$300 peak seen in 2021.

We encourage you to use comments to engage with users, share your perspective and ask questions of authors and each other. However, in order to maintain the high level of discourse we’ve all come to value and expect, please keep the following criteria in mind: 

  • Enrich the conversation
  • Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed.

  •  Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases.
  • NOTE: Spam and/or promotional messages and links within a comment will be removed
  • Avoid profanity, slander or personal attacks directed at an author or another user.
  • Don’t Monopolize the Conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also believe strongly in giving everyone a chance to air their thoughts. Therefore, in addition to civil interaction, we expect commenters to offer their opinions succinctly and thoughtfully, but not so repeatedly that others are annoyed or offended. If we receive complaints about individuals who take over a thread or forum, we reserve the right to ban them from the site, without recourse.
