On August 7, Datadog rose 3.14% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $235.98/share, with turnover of $25.29 million. The rebound follows the previous session's sharp 16%-plus selloff triggered by Q2 results missing elevated buy-side expectations.
On the news front, Monness Crespi Hardt raised its target price on Datadog from $270 to $280 after the post-earnings decline, maintaining a bullish stance. Although Q2 revenue of approximately $1.12 billion (+36% YoY) and non-GAAP EPS of $0.65 (+41% YoY) both exceeded baseline analyst consensus estimates, the results fell short of the buy-side whisper number of $1.214 billion in revenue and $0.66 EPS, which had been priced in after multiple banks raised targets pre-earnings. The company also raised Q3 and full-year guidance above Street expectations, projecting Q3 revenue of $1.135-$1.145 billion versus the $1.11 billion consensus. The combination of the target price upgrade and prior-session oversold conditions is supporting a technical recovery bounce.
