Datadog Inc (DDOG) Stock Research Report

The watchman behind the apps

When an app opens in a second, a payment goes through on the first try, or a film starts the moment you press play, you rarely wonder who made sure it would. Often, part of the answer is Datadog, a company most people have never heard of. Its software watches the computers and programs behind such services. It warns engineers when something slows down or breaks, and it helps keep intruders out.

Businesses pay for this by the month or by the year, and many now buy several of its tools at once. Datadog's revenue has grown quickly, and the company collects a great deal of cash. Yet for years it kept almost nothing as reported profit. Lately, that profit has started to rise. Is this a real turn, or only a passing high?

What the Company Does

Datadog sells one platform made of many tools, more than 20 of them today. The first, launched in 2012, watched servers, the machines that run a company's programs.

New tools arrived almost every year. One traces a single request as it travels through an application and shows where it stalls. Another gathers logs, that is, the running record each program keeps of what it has done. Later came tools that measure how fast a website feels to its visitors, and others that look for weaknesses an attacker could use.

The buyers are businesses that run their software in the cloud, about 33,500 of them. Picture an online shop that signs up only to watch its servers. A few months later, a slow checkout costs it sales, so it adds the tool that traces requests. After a break-in attempt, it adds protection as well.

The shop pays more for each tool it takes on, yet nothing forces it to stay, since most contracts run for a month or a year. Many customers have taken that path: 41% now use six or more products, against 31% a year earlier.

Datadog now presents itself as a platform built on AI for watching and securing cloud applications. Its newest tool, Bits AI, is an assistant meant to help engineers find the cause of a breakdown. According to management, it is the fastest-adopted product in the company's history. Companies that build AI have become customers too, and Datadog's largest customer is one of them.
