# DigitalOcean Holdings Inc. (DOCN) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Technology / Software. Price $112.47, market value $13.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 51.1×** (5-yr avg 80.3×, 3-yr avg 80.3×). DigitalOcean Holdings Inc. trades at 51.1× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 80.3×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 61.1×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.33**. A PEG of 0.33 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 13.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 13.1×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **EV / EBITDA: 44.3×**. Enterprise value is 44.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 1.5%** (5-yr avg 2.8%). Free cash flow equals 1.5% of the market value, below its five-year average of 2.8%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
- **Earnings yield: 2.0%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.0% of the price is earned each year.

## Financial health
