Voices From The Street
Morgan Stanley analyst Sanjit Singh said Datadog’s growth trajectory is impressive, but the stock is pricing in some high expectations at current levels.
“We see the company as the clear leader in a $30+ billion opportunity, but attractive 50%+ growth looks factored in at 24x CY20 revenue,” Singh wrote in a note.
JPMorgan analyst Sterling Auty said Datadog has one of the best combinations of high growth and high margins in the entire software space.
“We now see DDOG as the best positioned to capture not only the biggest market share of infrastructure monitoring but also the opportunity from companies that look to consolidate to a single monitoring vendor,” Auty said.
JMP Securities analyst Patrick Walravens said there are plenty of things to like about Datadog’s business, but its valuation may cap near-term upside.
