Datadog price target lowered to $148 from $165 at Barclays

Barclays analyst Raimo Lenschow lowered the firm’s price target on Datadog (DDOG) to $148 from $165 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm adjusted targets in the software group as part of a Q1 earnings preview. “We are not sure Q1 will turn the negative software sentiment around,” the analyst tells investors in a research note. Barclays says Q1 is the seasonally smallest quarter and that the macro backdrop “was not a tailwind.” Its main concern is that fundamental improvements for software will have to wait until the second half of 2026.
