  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.31 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), DigitalOcean Holdings Inc moved 0.31% on average · correlation 0.03 · higher than 29% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.83 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.47% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +0.25% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Company snapshot — DigitalOcean Holdings Inc

DOCN in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
DigitalOcean runs cloud infrastructure built for developers and smaller technology firms, covering compute, storage, networking, managed databases, Kubernetes and serverless functions. It also rents GPU instances so smaller teams can build and run AI applications without owning hardware. Customers include gaming, fintech and cybersecurity firms building websites, apps and AI products. It is based in Broomfield, Colorado, and listed in the United States.
Where it sits in the stack
In our Agentic Winners 40 index, DigitalOcean sits in the Agentic Ecosystem sleeve, under Runtime & API Gateways — the layer that hosts and serves live agents rather than trains them. It is a customer of the GPU and chip layers above it, reselling that capacity as smaller, metered instances to startups building agent-based products.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group places it with Twilio and BlackBerry under the Agentic Ecosystem, Runtime & API Gateways reason; the market also names Amazon Web Services as the larger cloud it competes against for the same developer workloads.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
It holds a seat in the Agentic Winners 40 index and carries a Closelooknet score, strongest on quality and weakest on valuation. A dossier named it as where agent hosting for startups and small businesses will concentrate, a midday note tracked a sharp round trip in its shares, and a daily pulse listed it among the metered consumption-infrastructure names that scale with agent activity.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether smaller developers keep buying metered GPU and compute capacity as agent workloads grow, and whether revenue growth starts to match the run of earnings beats the company has posted.

DigitalOcean Holdings Inc (DOCN) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology. Constituent of Agentic Winners 40.
