Read MoreHide Full Article

DocuSign, Inc. (DOCU - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Sep 3, after the bell.

The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate on three occasions and missed in the other. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 85.2% in the past four quarters, on average.

Expectations This Time Around

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues is pegged at $318.4 million, indicating 35.1% year-over-year growth. Continued strength in eSignature solutions is expected to have driven the top line. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the company’s revenues of $297 million climbed 38.8% year over year.

The consensus mark for non-GAAP earnings is pegged at 7 cents, suggesting more than 100% jump from the year-ago quarter. Improving operating leverage is likely to have boosted the bottom line. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, non-GAAP earnings of 12 cents per share surged 71.4% year over year.
