Nvidia among investors in xAI’s $20 bln capital raise- Bloomberg
Investing.com - Stifel has reiterated its Hold rating and $135.00 price target on Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG), currently trading at $139.15, following the company’s mid-quarter check-in on Thursday. The stock has seen a notable 36% gain over the past six months, with analyst targets ranging from $105 to $200.
During the session, Datadog management did not provide an intraquarter consumption update, maintaining its typical practice from previous meetings.
The check-in featured a recent interview with CEO Olivier Pomel, who discussed how generative AI has transformed Datadog’s product development approach from a traditional customer-led process to a faster-paced, more speculative strategy.
The meeting also covered how recent hyperscaler acceleration has impacted Datadog’s growth and examined trends in monitoring AI workloads.
Stifel views Datadog’s core stability as encouraging and considers increasing hyperscaler commitments from generative AI vendors as positive, but recommends patience due to uncertainty surrounding the OpenAI renewal. The company’s solid financial position is reflected in its healthy current ratio of 3.43, though current market prices suggest the stock is slightly overvalued according to InvestingPro Fair Value estimates.
