    Is DigitalOcean Holdings (DOCN) Still Undervalued Following Its Raised Guidance And AI Push?

    Simply Wall St·11/13/2026 00:29:48
    Listen to the news

    DigitalOcean Holdings (DOCN) has just raised its revenue outlook for 2026 and 2027, alongside fresh earnings guidance and new AI agent tools launched in collaboration with Box. Together, these developments have sharpened investor focus on the stock.

    The latest guidance raise and AI product news come alongside a sharp rebound in DigitalOcean Holdings’ trading pattern, with a 7 day share price return of 27.4% following a 30 day share price decline of 29.8% and a 90 day share price drop of 30.7%.

    That near term volatility sits on top of significant longer term moves. The 1 year total shareholder return is 99.3%, and the 3 year total shareholder return is above 3x, even though the 5 year total shareholder return is down 29.6%. This indicates recent strength following a more challenging earlier period.

The stock trades on a P/S of 9.6x versus 2.5x for the wider US IT group and 2.2x for close peers, while the fair ratio sits at 8.9x.
