Datadog posts Q3 2026 earnings beat and revenue surge but shares tumble

Datadog reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $1.20 billion, up 35% year‑over‑year, and non‑GAAP EPS of $0.81, beating consensus estimates by $0.17. The company raised its full‑year revenue outlook to $4.515‑$4.525 billion and FY 2026 EPS guidance to $2.73‑$2.75. Despite the strong results, the stock fell sharply in pre‑market trading, dropping as much as 19% after the release.

Investors see a disconnect between the earnings beat and the share price decline, as the guidance for Q4 revenue of $1.19‑$1.20 billion was viewed as below sequential growth expectations, prompting a sell‑off. The raised full‑year outlook may support a longer‑term upside if the company sustains growth.
