DocuSign Inc.’s DOCU stock has limited downside as the negative catalysts have already played out, according to Wedbush.

The Analyst: Daniel Ives upgraded the rating for DocuSign from Underperform to Neutral, while maintaining the price target at $55.

The Thesis: The stock has lost around 50% since early May, and the San Francisco-based company could become an acquisition target by a financial or strategic player if the stock continues to decline, Ives said.
