DigitalOcean (NYSE:DOCN) shares dropped 9% today. Volume was more than double normal.
It’s been a rough season for DO. Shares today traded for as cheap as $59/share – well off the stock’s highs above $130/share only two months ago.
The reason for the plummeting valuation is not clear. Some possibilities:
- DigitalOcean was overpriced. It may still be overpriced. The company is losing 28 cents a share on a 6.3B market cap.
- Investors generally loathe the “take on debt to buy back stock” approach to financial engineering. It’s generally a cash out option that rewards owners at the expense of the long-term health of the company. DigitalOcean announced this move recently.
- Motley Fool speculates it’s a reaction to announced Amazon and Microsoft moves in the cloud space.

Their network is constantly attacking my VPS’es and dedicated server. They could care less, forget reporting the IP to them.
Few years back I tried to redeem a coupon. It was like the 5th degree to get it through.
Good for quick dev deployment, but about all I would use them for.
Shame me for telling the truth, sometimes the truth hurts :)
