Bernstein upgrades Datadog to Outperform and lifts price target to $350

Bernstein SocGen Group raised its rating on Datadog (DDOG) from Market Perform to Outperform and increased its price target to $350, up from $237. The upgrade was driven by stronger‑than‑expected AI‑driven demand and faster growth in enterprise AI token consumption. Following the note, Datadog shares jumped between 3.6% and 5% in pre‑market trading.

The higher price target and upgraded rating signal analysts’ confidence in Datadog’s near‑term revenue growth, which could support a further share‑price rise. The upgrade also coincides with the company’s Q2 2026 results showing 35.6% revenue growth and an expanded full‑year revenue outlook of $4.45‑$4.47 billion.
