DigitalOcean Shares Jump 6% on Analyst Price Target Boost
March 18, 2026, 9:05 PM EDT. DigitalOcean (NYSE: DOCN) shares surged over 6% on Wednesday following a price target hike by Oppenheimer analyst Param Singh, who raised his valuation to $100 from $85. Singh cited the expanding market for artificial intelligence (AI) inferencing-where AI shifts from training to real-world application-as a key growth driver. He maintained an 'outperform' rating, highlighting strong client demand and DigitalOcean's competitive niche in cloud computing for AI developers. Despite its high valuation, Singh views the stock as 'pricey but worth it.' However, Motley Fool's Stock Advisor did not include DigitalOcean in its top 10 picks, contrasting with historically high returns from previous recommendations.
