vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
50%

DocuSign Inc. is currently running 32.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against DOCU's own 8 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 21st percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 45.9%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

DOCU is trading -76.7% below its running peak. Across 7 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -34.5%, and the deepest was -74.5% in 2022. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits +34.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 87th percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year DOCU closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 8 years of records, DOCU finished the month higher 4 of 8 times, with a median return of -0.6% and an average of -0.8%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +10.7% on average, its weakest February at -4.3%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: DOCU has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 131 of 2,126 sessions (6.2% of the time), with the largest gaps running +6.9% and -8.0%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 2,127 daily closes between 2018-04-27 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against DOCU's own 9-year history, not a peer group or index.

What did this article say?
Wall Street analysts issued a bearish consensus on DocuSign (DOCU) after noting only 5.5% annual recurring revenue growth over the past year, which fell short of expectations. The outlook projects a modest 8.1% growth for the next twelve months, suggesting limited demand for new contracts and renewals. Analysts highlighted intense competition in the digital signature market as a key risk factor, potentially eroding DocuSign’s market share. The consensus price target of $69.99 reflects a neutral implied return, indicating that the market has priced in the challenges ahead. These assessments could influence investor sentiment and trading activity for the stock.
