Assessing Doximity (DOCS) Valuation After Earnings Beat AI Tool Adoption And New Buyback Program
Doximity, Inc. Class A DOCS | 22.77 | -0.70% |
Doximity (DOCS) is back in focus after its latest quarter topped internal guidance. Management highlighted growing use of its AI tools by clinicians, and the company paired cautious revenue guidance with a fresh share repurchase authorization.
Despite the better than expected quarter and new AI tools, the share price has been under pressure, with a 30 day share price return of 37.2% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 66.9%, suggesting sentiment has cooled even as buybacks and product rollout shape the longer term story.

So with Doximity shares down sharply over the past year, ongoing buybacks and AI adoption on one side, and cautious revenue guidance on the other, is the current price a genuine opportunity or is the market already pricing in future growth?
Most Popular Narrative: 56.7% Undervalued
With Doximity last closing at $27.50 against a most followed fair value estimate of about $63.57, the current gap is wide enough that the narrative deserves a closer look, especially given how much of that assessment leans on future product engagement and margins rather than short term sentiment.
The expanded adoption of AI-powered workflow tools (Scribe, Doximity GPT, and Pathway AI) is expected to further entrench Doximity as a core clinician productivity suite, driving frequency of platform use, deeper customer retention, and ultimately higher average revenue per user (ARPU) over time, supporting long-term revenue and margin expansion.

Curious what kind of revenue climb and margin profile need to hold for that valuation gap to make sense? The most followed narrative leans heavily on sustained growth, strong profitability and a future earnings multiple that assumes Doximity keeps its footing with healthcare professionals and advertisers.
Result: Fair Value of $63.57 (UNDERVALUED)
However, there are clear watchpoints, including Doximity’s dependence on pharmaceutical marketing budgets and the risk that free AI tools take longer than expected to translate into revenue.
Another View: Market Multiple Sends A Mixed Signal
While the narrative fair value points to Doximity looking undervalued, the current P/E of 21.2x is slightly above its fair ratio of 20.1x, yet sits well below the Global Healthcare Services average of 29.2x and the 51.1x peer average. Is this a margin of safety or a value trap if growth cools?
