Gotrade News - Several US companies reported quarterly earnings on Thursday (06/04), with sharply mixed results. DocuSign (DOCU) climbed while Lululemon (LULU) dropped steeply after hours.
The results highlighted a clear split between software and retail growth stocks. Investors are now reassessing the quality of growth across both sectors.
Key Takeaways
DocuSign posted revenue of $830 million, up 9% year over year.
Lululemon fell about 11% after cutting its full-year revenue guidance.
Software results held up better than retail in the latest reports.
Software Leads the Positive Results
According to The Motley Fool, DocuSign reported $830 million in revenue for fiscal first quarter 2027. That figure rose 9% from the same period a year earlier.
Non-GAAP earnings per share came in at $1.09, up 21% year over year. The company also raised full-year revenue guidance to a range of $3.49 billion.
CEO Allan Thygesen called the IAM platform the center of gravity for enterprise AI contracting. DocuSign generated $289 million in free cash flow during the quarter.
Dollar net retention stayed above 102% among direct customers this quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin also improved to 32% from 29.5% a year earlier.
Other software results also drew investor attention this week. Rubrik (RBRK) reported subscription revenue up 41% year over year to $374 million.
Rubrik also lifted subscription ARR by 32% to $1.57 billion in the quarter. CEO Bipul Sinha described cyber resilience as a fundamental requirement for the AI era.
Retail Faces Heavier Pressure
As reported by The Motley Fool, Lululemon posted $2.47 billion in revenue, up just 4% year over year. However, comparable sales across the Americas fell 5% in the quarter.
Lululemon shares dropped roughly 11% in after-hours trading. Management cut full-year revenue guidance to a range near $11 billion.
Full-year earnings guidance was also lowered to between $10.95 and $11.15 per share. Gross margin fell 410 basis points as tariffs and costs weighed on results.
Co-CEO Meghan Frank acknowledged product misses in the core North American market. She pledged that the company would be bolder in the second half.
Lululemon's international segment stayed strong with comparable sales up 13%. The weakness centered on the core Americas market that weighed on sentiment.
Other names like Planet Labs and Cooper also reported on the same day. Planet Labs raised full-year revenue guidance on rising demand for satellite imaging.
This earnings wave shows investors growing more selective about growth quality. Stocks with softened guidance faced harsher market reactions than peers.
