On June 18, Datadog fell 3.49% in regular trading, trading at $218.55/share, with turnover of $275 million. The decline extends a pullback from its recent high near $280, with cumulative drawdown now exceeding 20%.
On the news front, Goldman Sachs continues to maintain a sell rating on the stock, with its core thesis that current growth is propped up by AI bubble premiums and that Datadog's long-term competitive moat is thinning. While Scotia Bank raised its target price from $225 to $275 and Capital One lifted its target to $268 on the same day, profit-taking pressure from the prior rapid run-up from approximately $220 to $280 continues to weigh on shares.
The broader Application Software sector was under pressure during the session. Among sector peers, Palantir Technologies fell 3.64%, Strategy fell 2.88%, Salesforce fell 2.14%, Adobe fell 1.22%, while IREN Ltd gained 2.19%.
