Read MoreHide Full Article

DocuSign, Inc. (DOCU - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Mar 11, after the bell.

The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the last four quarters, delivering an average earnings surprise of 93.8%.

Expectations This Time Around

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues is pegged at $406.8 million, indicating 48% year-over-year growth. The top line is expected to have been driven by growth in subscription revenues as well as professional services and other revenues, both benefiting from strong customer growth and the Seal acquisition.

The consensus mark for non-GAAP earnings is pegged at 22 cents, suggesting 83.3% jump from the year-ago quarter. Improving operating performance is likely to have boosted the bottom line in the quarter.

Zacks Names “Single Best Pick to Double”
