On August 3, Datadog rose 3.16% in regular trading, trading at $276.82/share, with turnover of $242 million. The rally was driven by a wave of bullish analyst actions ahead of the company's Q2 earnings report scheduled for August 6.
BMO Capital raised its price target from $260 to $310 while maintaining an Outperform rating. This follows similar upgrades from DA Davidson (to $315), Bank of America (to $305), Citigroup and Morgan Stanley (to $300), Wells Fargo (to $295), Mizuho (to $300), and Benchmark (to $330). Consensus estimates project Q2 revenue of $1.214 billion, representing 26.33% year-over-year growth, with adjusted EPS of $0.66, up 29.98%.
Sentiment was further supported by Datadog's recent acquisition of AI company Adaptive ML to bolster large language model capabilities, and its designation as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms for the sixth consecutive year. Oppenheimer and UBS have also highlighted AI-native customer growth and platform consumption trends as catalysts for sustained momentum.
