Koji Ikeda has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Datadog’s strong market position and potential for growth. One of the key considerations is the anticipation of gaining insights into Datadog’s relationship with its largest customer, OpenAI. The outcome of this relationship could significantly impact revenue, especially if OpenAI increases its spending in the latter half of the year, which would serve as a positive catalyst for the stock.
Furthermore, Datadog’s premium valuation underscores the importance of revenue performance, with expectations for revenue growth to exceed previous quarters. The potential for a revenue beat could drive further stock appreciation. Additionally, positive survey results bolster confidence in Datadog’s leading position in the observability market, with increased spending trends in the DevSecOps sector supporting a favorable outlook. These factors collectively contribute to the Buy rating, with a price objective set at $175.
According to TipRanks, Ikeda is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 12.6% and a 58.15% success rate. Ikeda covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Datadog, Gitlab, and nCino.
In another report released yesterday, Monness also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $160.00 price target.
