On July 6, Datadog fell 3.64% in regular trading, trading at $253.75/share, with turnover of $70.93 million. The decline was triggered by Bernstein downgrading the stock from Outperform to Market Perform.
Bernstein adjusted its rating on Datadog while simultaneously raising its price target significantly from $180 to $226, suggesting the analyst views the stock as fairly valued after its strong rally. Notably, Datadog has accumulated gains exceeding 90% year-to-date, and Bernstein's downgrade represents a rare bearish signal amid otherwise bullish sentiment. According to FactSet, the average analyst price target stands at $245.82 with an overall buy consensus. In recent weeks, multiple firms have raised targets aggressively — Benchmark to $330, Arete to $340, Truist to $300, and Piper Sandler to $275 — making Bernstein's move a notable outlier that weighed on short-term market sentiment.
