On June 3, Datadog declined 3.22% in regular trading, trading at $252.345/share, with trading volume of $174 million. The stock extended the prior session's 5.45% decline as profit-taking continued and the broader application software sector remained under pressure.
On the news front, the selloff follows a sharp rally over the preceding week, during which Datadog surged from approximately $220 to nearly $280, driven by multiple Wall Street firms raising their target prices. Cantor Fitzgerald lifted its target from $171 to $226, Bank of America Securities raised its target to $260, and RBC Capital Markets increased its target to $250. A fund manager also expressed caution regarding software stock prospects, noting the need to observe whether AI-driven revenue re-acceleration at Datadog can be sustained, raising concerns about long-term growth certainty.
Within the Application Software sector, Palantir Technologies fell 3.96%, Salesforce declined 3.45%, and Circle Internet Corp. dropped 4.46%, reflecting continued broad-based weakness across the industry.
