Datadog is among the best stocks to own for 2025: TD Cowen

by November 19, 2024
written by November 19, 2024

Investing.com — Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG) has been mentioned by analysts at TD Cowen as one of the top stocks to own heading into 2025. 

The research underscores Datadog’s strength as a market leader in the observability space, with an annual recurring revenue of about $2.8 billion, which represents about 5% of the estimated $50 billion IT operations market. 

This positions the company as a prime consolidator in a rapidly expanding industry.

Datadog’s business model combines high margins with scalable growth, as evidenced by its “Rule of 56” in the third quarter of 2024—a metric that outpaces the peer average of 45%. 

Analysts credit the company’s consistent outperformance to its product breadth, which drives tool consolidation, and robust execution in go-to-market strategies. 

Despite short-term concerns over billing volatility and macroeconomic sensitivities, TD Cowen anticipates these to be transient, emphasizing Datadog’s longer-term benefits from artificial intelligence and cloud growth.

The company’s valuation remains attractive, with analysts pointing to a forward free cash flow multiple of 38x for 2026 estimates—considered reasonable given Datadog’s leadership and consistent innovation. 

A price target of $165 has been assigned, reflecting over 30% upside potential from its current trading level of $125.97 as of November 18, 2024. 

This target is based on expectations of continued double-digit revenue growth and free cash flow margin improvements, alongside a potential inclusion in the S&P 500.

Key drivers for Datadog’s future include its leverage to the hyperscaler cloud market, as evidenced by its strong correlation with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services growth trends. 

Analysts also flag the potential of new product launches, such as LLM Observability for AI applications, and a dedicated sales effort targeting Fortune 500 clients, where expansion opportunities exist.

Datadog’s commitment to disciplined M&A strategy and a well-aligned management team with high insider ownership further bolster its prospects. 

Moreover, its diversified customer base and emphasis on innovation, particularly in areas like AI and cloud security, position it well for sustained growth.
