On June 4, Datadog fell 3.24% in regular trading, trading at $247.99/share, with trading volume of $299 million. The stock has now declined for three consecutive trading days since June 2.
On the news front, the pullback follows a sharp rally from approximately $220 to nearly $280 over the prior week, driven by multiple Wall Street banks raising target prices. Cantor Fitzgerald raised its target from $171 to $226, Bank of America Securities lifted its target from $225 to $260, and RBC Capital Markets raised its target from $219 to $250. RBC noted that AI-driven infrastructure modernization represents Datadog's largest long-term opportunity and that the company continues to gain market share.
However, a fund manager recently expressed caution regarding software stocks' long-term growth certainty, emphasizing the need to observe whether AI-driven revenue re-acceleration can be sustained. This commentary has triggered concerns about valuation digestion following the rapid appreciation, contributing to ongoing profit-taking pressure across the application software sector.
