DigitalOcean is within a buy range after moving past a 41.37 entry in a double bottom. The proper buying range extends to 5% above the initial entry. Once a stock hits that benchmark, it's best to hold off investing and wait for it to set up another buying opportunity.
Earnings growth rose in the company's most recent report from 9% to 18%, but revenue fell from 13% to 12%. The next quarterly numbers are expected on or around Feb. 25.
DigitalOcean holds the No. 18 rank among its peers in the Computer Software-Enterprise industry group. Enfusion, Samsara and Klaviyo are among the top 5 highly rated stocks within the group.
