On August 7, Datadog rose 3.99% in regular trading, trading at approximately $247.50/share, with turnover of $2.71 billion. The stock rebounded after falling over 16% in the prior session following its Q2 earnings release.
On the news front, multiple investment banks raised their target prices for Datadog after earnings, with Needham lifting its target to $300, Raymond James to $280, and Monness Crespi Hardt from $270 to $280, maintaining bullish stances. The upgrades came after Datadog reported Q2 revenue of approximately $1.12 billion, up 36% year-over-year, and non-GAAP EPS of $0.65, up 41% year-over-year, both exceeding baseline consensus estimates. The company also raised Q3 and full-year guidance above market expectations, projecting Q3 revenue of $1.135-$1.145 billion versus the $1.11 billion consensus.
The prior session's sharp decline was attributed to results missing elevated buy-side expectations despite beating standard consensus. Analysts noted that selling pressure was fully released, enabling a technical recovery as capital flowed back into the stock.
