Kingsley Crane has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Datadog’s strong financial performance and strategic positioning. The company has consistently exceeded revenue expectations, with its Q4 showing marking the sixth consecutive quarter of a significant revenue beat. This demonstrates Datadog’s robust market position and effectiveness in capturing value from its offerings.
Moreover, Datadog’s ability to attract large AI-native customers, despite concerns about cost optimization, suggests its solutions are crucial even for technologically advanced organizations. The company’s strategy, focused on CPU-centric approaches while also addressing GPU-related opportunities, positions it well to capitalize on the growing demands of AI-related computing. Additionally, Datadog’s balance sheet remains strong, and its forward-looking metrics, including a reasonable valuation based on free cash flow, support the positive outlook, reinforcing the Buy recommendation with a price target of $150.
