Datadog Inc (NASDAQ:DDOG) shares are trading higher Thursday amid overall market strength in the technology and software sector. 

On Wednesday, Datadog provided an update for investors at the Jefferies Software Conference. Jefferies analyst Brent Thill relayed some of those updates Thursday afternoon on CNBC's "Closing Bell."

"We met with Datadog yesterday and they're like 'we're seeing nothing. We're seeing no fundamental slowdown,'" Thill said. 

75% of the companies that Jefferies met with at the conference are not reporting any signs of a slowdown, he added. 

"So I think we are going to see a little bit of a rally, given how bad the sector has performed," the Jefferies analyst said.

Datadog is also moving higher in sympathy with MongoDB Inc (NASDAQ:MDB) after the database platform company reported better-than-expected top-line results and issued guidance above analyst estimates.
