On June 5, Datadog fell 3.12% in regular trading, trading at $236.235/share, with trading volume of $411 million. The stock has now declined for four consecutive trading sessions since June 2, retreating over 15% from its recent high near $280.
On the news front, Datadog had previously surged from approximately $220 to nearly $280 in a single week, driven by multiple Wall Street investment banks raising their target prices. Cantor Fitzgerald raised its target from $171 to $226, Bank of America Securities lifted its target to $260, and RBC Capital Markets raised its target from $219 to $250, citing AI-driven infrastructure modernization as the company's largest long-term opportunity. However, fund managers have since expressed caution on software stocks' long-term growth certainty, emphasizing the need to observe whether AI-driven revenue re-acceleration can be sustained. This has triggered concerns over valuation digestion and intensified profit-taking pressure.
Within the Application Software sector, stocks broadly declined, with Strategy down 8.27%, IREN Ltd down 11.83%, Circle Internet Corp. down 9.19%, and Palantir Technologies down 2.83%.
