Datadog faces short-term risks as AI growth fades and Q4 guidance slows revenue growth.

Datadog's Q3 revenue grew 35.4%, but Q4 guidance shows a slowdown to 26% due to customer volatility and lower-priced renewals. Despite strong free cash flow and a $5 billion net cash balance, the stock remains highly valued and bearish until it approaches a better entry point near $150. The fading optimism around AI-related growth and disappointing guidance suggest downside risk in the near term.

Datadog trades at USD 184.44 on Pluang as of Nov 05, 2026 21:03 WIB, down 2.27% in one day. The stock's market cap is $67.76 billion, with a 52-week high of $293.26 and a low of $102.62. Pluang users show strong buying interest, with 71% of orders as buys and a typical hold time of 77 days.
