Docebo Stock Is Having a Rough 2025: Can It Recover?

Down more than 60% from all-time highs, Docebo is a TSX tech stock that is poised to deliver market-beating returns over the next three years.

| More on:

Valued at a market cap of $1.2 billion, Docebo (TSX:DCBO) is transforming its learning management system into an AI-first enterprise learning platform. It aims to provide comprehensive content creation, delivery, and coaching solutions to clients.

The company’s key innovation lies in tools like Docebo Creator and agent-based automation, which enable customers to create content without leaving the platform, thereby enhancing stickiness and user experience.

Docebo generates revenue primarily from enterprise clients while investing in the expansion of the government sector. It leverages strategic partnerships with major system integrators, such as Accenture and Deloitte, to strengthen enterprise execution and enhance forecasting capabilities.

The company faces administrative complexity challenges that require ongoing UX improvements. Moreover, the TSX tech stock is down 64% from all-time highs and 34% in 2025 due to slowing revenue growth.

Docebo grew its sales from $41.4 million in 2019 to $217 million in 2024, indicating an annual growth rate of almost 40%. In Q2 2025, its sales growth slowed to 14.5% year-over-year.

So, let’s see if Docebo stock is undervalued right now.

Is Docebo stock a good buy today?

In Q2, Docebo demonstrated strong mid-market performance and raised full-year revenue guidance, suggesting management confidence in their execution. It secured a significant expansion deal with a Big Five tech company worth “large six figures,” marking the company’s second such customer. These wins validate Docebo’s enterprise strategy and demonstrate its ability to replace internal systems, even at large technology companies.

The FedRAMP certification achievement unlocks a $2.7 billion government market opportunity earlier than expected, with meaningful pipeline development already underway. Management expects substantial government revenue contributions by the second half of 2026, which will provide a clear growth catalyst.

Docebo’s “Harmony” AI platform launch indicates product innovation rather than superficial AI integration. The agentic approach to learning management could create competitive advantages, especially as it transitions from instructor-led to learner-first models. Early usage metrics, showing over 20,000 minutes of AI-generated video content and more than 2,000 AI assessments, suggest customer adoption.

However, enterprise sales cycles remain elongated across key verticals like automotive, industrial, and retail. While mid-market strength offset some headwinds, Docebo still faces macro pressures that could impact growth sustainability.

The loss of AWS as a customer will create Q4 headwinds, and net retention improvements appear gradual rather than dramatic.

What is the target price for DCBO stock?

Analysts tracking Docebo stock forecast sales to rise from US$217 million in 2024 to US$284 million in 2027. In this period, its adjusted earnings are forecast to expand from US$1.04 per share in 2024 to US$2.04 per share in 2027.

Today, DCBO stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 21.7 times, which is higher than its 12-month average of 31 times. If DCBO stock is priced at 30 times forward earnings, which is reasonable, given its growth estimates, it should double within the next four years.

Docebo appears well-positioned for medium-term growth, driven by government market penetration and AI-driven differentiation. However, near-term execution risks surrounding enterprise sales cycles and the need to prove AI monetization make this more suitable for investors who are comfortable with SaaS volatility and longer investment horizons.
