DA Davidson’s Conclusions
The investment bank estimates that DDOG is poised to generate annual growth of 20% to 25% for multiple years.
In the wake of worries about OpenAI damaging Datadog, DA Davidson does not expect any negative impact on DDOG to last over the longer term.
Rosenblatt’s Take
After DDOG delivered strong growth in Q4, the trend probably continued last quarter, according to Rosenblatt. As reasons for the latter conclusion, Rosenblatt cited the favorable reports by the large cloud-service firms and increased demand for AI.
Additionally, the investment bank predicts that DDOG’s existing customers will buy more of its offerings going forward.
Rosenblatt cut its price target on DDOG to $150 from $160 but kept a Buy rating on the name.
