1.b. Last Insights on DCBO

The recent 3-month performance of Docebo Inc. has been negatively impacted by prolonged share price weakness, with the stock down about 16% over the past month and 27% over the past 3 months. This decline fits into a wider pattern, with a 1-year total shareholder return of about a 56% decline and a 5-year total shareholder return of around a 63% decline. The company's recent share price weakness has prompted investors to reassess the business, with some analysts revising their views on the stock. The recent earnings surprise history of Docebo has been impressive, but the company's ability to beat estimates in its next quarterly report is uncertain. The substantial issuer bid launched by the company to repurchase and cancel a significant portion of its outstanding shares may affect future earnings per share and ownership stakes. The buyback is expected to reduce the share count, which may impact the company's financial performance. The acquisition of 365Talents, a France-based skills-intelligence platform, has broadened Docebo's appeal to heavily regulated multinational customers, particularly in Europe. However, the impact of this acquisition on the company's financial performance is unclear. The company's use of artificial intelligence across its product suite has deepened, but the effectiveness of this strategy in driving growth is uncertain.

2. Docebo's Q3 2025 Earnings: A Strong Beat on Revenue and EPS

Docebo reported revenues with a strong growth of 14% year-over-year, excluding the Dayforce business, driven by mid-market and EMEA performance exceeding expectations, as well as improved core business retention. The company's EPS came in at $0.4785, significantly beating estimates of $0.3875. The strong financial performance was accompanied by an EBITDA margin of 20%, ahead of expectations. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 7.3%, indicating a potential slowdown in the company's growth trajectory.

Publication Date: Nov -19

📋 Highlights
  • Excluding Dayforce, ARR growth: accelerated to 13.9% in Q2 and 14% Y/Y in Q3 driven by mid-market, EMEA, and core retention.
  • Dayforce wind-down impact: will reduce its contribution to 3.5-4.5% of revenue in 2026, 1-2% in 2027, and become immaterial thereafter.
  • FedRAMP momentum: secured two new federal customers post-May 2024, with federal/defense pipeline expected to drive material contracts in Q3 2026.
  • Retention improvement: achieved two consecutive quarters of growth, with proactive account mapping to further reduce churn.
  • AI monetization strategy: launched a credit-based system, with Harmony Search already processing 500K queries and evolving into a Copilot platform.

Revenue Growth and ARR Components

The company's ARR grew by $2.5 million sequentially, driven by growth in mid-market, EMEA, and core retention. However, the Dayforce business accelerated faster than expected, impacting results. As Alessio Artuffo mentioned, "Our ARR grew $2.5 million sequentially, and we're seeing growth in mid-market, EMEA, and core retention." The wind-down of the Dayforce business is expected to continue, with Dayforce representing 3.5% to 4.5% of total revenues in 2026.

Government and Enterprise Segments

Docebo achieved two new federal customers since its May FedRAMP listing, demonstrating the company's success in the government segment. The enterprise segment is also critical, with growth in customers over $100,000. Notable enterprise wins include Veolia and Amazon. The government shutdown did not affect the seasonal buying cycle, and the company expects to see opportunities in Q3 2026.

Valuation and Growth Prospects

With a P/E Ratio of 28.46 and an EV/EBITDA of 22.59, the market is pricing in a certain level of growth for Docebo. The company's ROE of 45.11% and ROIC of 44.98% indicate strong profitability. As the company continues to diversify its revenue base away from Dayforce, the market will be watching for further progress on this front. The introduction of an AI credit-based system is expected to give Docebo an edge in the competition, and the company's AI product vision is expected to drive future growth.
