Jefferies Raises Ddog Stock Target to $170 on Tuesday
Jefferies raised its price objective on ddog stock to $170 from $160 on Tuesday and kept a buy rating. The new target gives Datadog holders a higher valuation reference, with the broker’s figure implying 16.49% upside from the current price.
Datadog opened Tuesday at $145.94 and carried a market capitalization of $51.46 billion. That leaves the stock below its 52-week high of $201.69 and above its 52-week low of $98.01, a range that frames how much room analysts still see between the current quote and the latest targets.
Datadog Targets Move in Both Directions
$225.00 was the highest target in the group, with DA Davidson reissuing a buy rating and setting that level on Monday. Sanford C. Bernstein cut its objective to $167.00 from $180.00 on Wednesday, April 22nd, while BNP Paribas Exane trimmed its target to $175.00 from $210.00 on Thursday, January 15th and kept an outperform rating.
Citizens Jmp reissued a market perform rating on Wednesday, February 11th, and Weiss Ratings restated a sell (d+) rating on Monday, April 20th. Those calls leave Datadog with sharply split expectations, even as the average rating stands at Moderate Buy and the consensus price target sits at $177.28.
Datadog Earnings Back the Debate
$0.59 in quarterly EPS helped support the case for higher targets, after Datadog beat the consensus estimate of $0.55 by $0.04 for the quarter ended Tuesday, February 10th. Revenue reached $953.19 million, above the $916.53 million estimate, and rose 29.2% year over year.
2.080 to 2.160 EPS is the company’s FY 2026 guidance, while Q1 2026 guidance calls for 0.490 to 0.510 EPS. If that range holds, analysts will keep measuring whether the stock price can close the gap between the current level and the latest $170 target, or whether the richer $225 call and the lower $167 target become the more relevant guideposts.
Agarwal Sale Adds Pressure
20,000 shares changed hands when director Amit Agarwal sold stock on Monday, April 27th at an average price of $131.47 per share for total proceeds of $2,629,400.00. After the sale, he directly owned 1,640 shares valued at about $215,610.80, a transaction that sits alongside the new Jefferies call as another fresh signal for traders to weigh.
For readers tracking ddog stock, the practical takeaway is narrow but useful: the latest target moved up, the analyst spread remains wide, and the next move in the share price will likely be judged against that $170 reference as much as against the still-higher consensus target of $177.28.
