UBS lifts Datadog price target to $320, citing AI observability growth

UBS raised its price target on Datadog (DDOG) to $320 from $280, maintaining a Buy rating. The firm highlighted demand for AI‑driven monitoring and potential OpenAI spending as growth catalysts. The upgrade follows a 106% year‑to‑date rise in the stock and comes ahead of Datadog’s Q3 earnings on November 4. Other analysts also raised targets, while noting the stock trades at about 17 times 2027 revenue and 57 times free cash flow.

UBS’s target increase signals confidence in Datadog’s AI‑related revenue upside, which may boost investor sentiment ahead of earnings. The high valuation multiples noted by UBS also warn investors of potential downside if growth falls short.
