DOCN is a cloud computing infrastructure company benefitting from the AI build-out; it operates in the U.S., Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Singapore, and other locations, and just introduced an AI-native cloud. In its first-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings, DOCN reported revenue of $258 million (a 22% year-over-year gain), adjusted EBITDA of $105 million (41% margin), and raised annual revenue guidance to a high point of $1.145 billion.

It’s no wonder DOCN shares are up 213% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock.
