DocuSign CEO: No signs of recession in our business


DocuSign’s (DOCU) business remains brisk despite a bruised stock market and rising concerns of an economic growth slowdown in the US.

CEO Allan Thygesen said on Yahoo Finance’s Morning Brief on Friday that demand trends in February remained solid.

“As I looked at our February numbers, for example, our transaction volumes were pretty much on target with what we had expected — not seeing any major impact there,” Thygesen said. “So at this point, we haven’t seen any impact of the recent volatility.”

DocuSign reported on Thursday evening that fourth quarter earnings came in better than expected as more customers adopted its AI agreement technology. The momentum in the business appears to have legs as the company’s billings guidance surprised Wall Street estimates to the upside.
