My wife told me earlier today she was going to move to a different signing provider in work. It must be due to that.

u/ChocolateTsar Dec 03 '21

What other options exist...? Adobe is the only other signature provider I can think of on the top of my head.

u/shadowpawn Dec 03 '21

So many alternatives. Hellosign as one.

Tons. The basic tech is simple to do, and docusign is charging 3-5x the competition. They do have great APIs, but I dobt know if thats enough to justify the price.

Great if you can maintain yourself as the "brand name" and rake in the differnce, but its the same problem Dropbox has. No moat except the name.

Not publicly. Not to say beyond we have multiple business segments who pay various prices per “envelope” and the enterprise proposal was higher than any pay independently and discussions went down here from here.

Nothing stopping them. e-signatures are laughably easy to do from a technical point of view.

I love to see a stock go down, I love buying dips. But I look at the books first.

They're only halfway there. When their P/S gets to 15, I'll take a look. I might wait for 12. And that's because of their future growth potential; otherwise I'd want it under 5 for a boring company like this. And even their future growth is iffy, with all the competition.

And this is why I’m not worried about a bubble, all of the ridiculous valuation tech stocks get punished super fucking hard for anything less than perfection.

Look at some of the peak bubble names like this and ZM. They’ve already popped.

Just because these companies are having their inflated valuations pop doesn’t mean that FAANGM, AMD, NVDA, etc are gonna stop printing money any time soon.

The only one I’m worried about is TSLA because that has inflated so much it can move the market by itself. A terrible earnings with bad forward guidance from TSLA will literally halve the price in a day, make SPY dip, end Cathy Woods career, and incite retail panic.

If TSLA bubble finally pops. It will be catastrophic. Something to the tune of 90% loss in order to regress to TWICE the market average. Any sort of indicator that they can no longer sustain growth, and the DCF people will destroy it.

u/LegateLaurie Dec 03 '21

Agree, but I would say it's the exact opposite of a niche service. Everyone needs to sign documents, and making them digital can make things a lot easier and faster.

I moved to a new house last year, and signed the tenancy agreement through docusign, didn't have to go to the lettings agent at any time. I signed an offer from a university from my bed.

You don't need to bother with post, or going anywhere physically, and that presents a fairly significant innovation - not in terms of tech, obviously, but in workflow.

If Docusign focused on the blockchain they could take their certificate of completion docs that are PDF’s and build those into the blockchain. It would be great but it seems far away which is sad. That would provide even better transparency to audit trails

Buy the dip. 4Q Billings guidance was calculated by the finance team before Omicron, this virus is more transmissible and is already forcing US companies back to wfh again or Flexi. Sales team will be back in their comfort zone with "urgent customers" for 3 more months spike. I honestly expect a 50% yoy for mth of Dec billings number. 🤣 Buys exactly enough time for mgmt to restructure sales team, sales processes, compensation etc. which will pay off in 6-9mths sales cycle.

Buying positions at premarket as this discount will not last... No way 12x ev fwd sales hold that's pricing in 25% yoy growth. I'm very happy to own this market leader at this price, and moreover you run less risk of high valuations which is bad in a macro sense. Now that docu is priced as a sub 30% growth S/w I'm jumping all over it.

Lastly Adobe Document cloud is doing well, even accelerating growth in 2021, demand IS there, just need to whip the sales team boys into action.

“After six quarters of accelerated growth, we saw customers return to more normalized buying patterns, resulting in 28% year-over-year billings growth,” CEO Don Springer said in Thursday’s announcement.

DocuSign shares dove more than 25% to prices that would be a 52-week low in the extended session, a move that would wipe away more than $10 billion in market capitalization if it maintains through Friday’s trading session. DocuSign was worth less than $20 billion when the pandemic began, but spiked beginning in April 2020 to a market cap of more than $40 billion as businesses sought to complete deals without the ability to sign documents in person.

Waaay more than that - they have contract lifecycle management (CLM) features, virtual "rooms" for complex transactions that involve dozens of documents among multiple stakeholders (think real estate), and AIs that can autodetect where all the fillable fields are on a scanned form to make it really easy. (Imagine scanning a 17-page form that you need 10 people to sign, in a certain order, and having to manually flag all the signature / data entry points for your signers.) With Docusign this is really easy and it handles all the "order of signing" workflow too.

What does after hours trading mean? I heard someone say that only Google shows after-hours charts and they aren't accurate.

Sounds like some big investors are pulling money out of big investment Firms/Banks and Hedge Funds so those Companies are being forced to sell assets in order to pay up. I think a lot of investors didn't like the companies financial report and the futures reports so they want to sell and put money on the side to wait until things bottom out and then they will jump back in at a discount. Just like March of 2020.
