On September 2, Datadog fell 3.73% in regular trading, trading at approximately $214.46 per share, with turnover of approximately $77.87 million. The Application Software sector was broadly weak, with Palantir down 3.07%, Strategy down 2.47%, Circle Internet down 2.76%, and IREN down 1.98%, while Salesforce bucked the trend with a 2.1% gain.
The decline extends sustained selling pressure following Datadog's Q2 earnings release on August 6. Despite reporting revenue of approximately $1.121 billion, up 36% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of $0.65 — both exceeding consensus estimates — the stock fell over 21% in pre-market trading at the time, widely attributed to profit-taking after reaching record highs. CTO Alexis Le-Quoc also sold approximately 110,000 shares in early August at prices between $231 and $261 per share. Analysts maintain a consensus Buy rating with a mean price target of approximately $286.84, well above current levels.
