Hedge fund manager Eric Jackson is shorting major SaaS stocks including Salesforce, Asana, Five9, DocuSign, and Atlassian based on his 'AI Paradox' theory: companies that mention AI most frequently show 5.4% worse forward returns than peers. Jackson believes excessive AI talk is a red flag rather than bullish signal. He favors cybersecurity stocks (CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Palo Alto Networks) and infrastructure plays (NVIDIA, Palantir, Nebius) that show tangible AI benefits.

DocuSign stock has plummeted 84% from its 2021 peak of $310 after pandemic-driven demand faded. However, the company's new AI-powered Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform is driving renewed growth, with $350 million in annual recurring revenue just 18 months after launch. Trading at a P/S ratio of 3.1 (well below its 12.4 long-term average), the stock appears undervalued and could be attractive for long-term investors willing to hold for 3-5 years.
The Motley Fool•Anthony Di Pizio
AI Insight
Despite the 84% decline from peak, the company shows strong fundamentals with its new IAM platform generating significant recurring revenue ($350M ARR), modest cost control (operating expenses up <5%), and attractive valuation metrics (P/S of 3.1 vs. historical 12.4). Management expects revenue acceleration in fiscal 2027, suggesting potential for recovery over a 3-5 year investment horizon.
