They contend this read is wrong given Datadog's own quarter re-accelerated +36% year over year, the year was raised to $4.45–4.47B, and accounts paying $100k+ reached about 4,720, up 23%. The author's falsification condition is that if Q3 comes in at or under $1.135–1.145B and the year misses that raise, they had it wrong. The main risk is that the soft sequential guide does in fact signal decelerating AI-driven consumption.", "thesis_short": "Holding DDOG; market misread soft Q3 guide", "quote": "I'm in Datadog.
