Datadog (DDOG) Reports Q4: Everything You Need To Know Ahead Of Earnings

Cloud monitoring software company Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG) will be reporting results tomorrow before market open. Here’s what to expect.

Datadog beat analysts’ revenue expectations by 3.8% last quarter, reporting revenues of $690 million, up 26% year on year. It was a very strong quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analysts’ annual recurring revenue estimates and EPS guidance for next quarter exceeding analysts’ expectations. It added 100 enterprise customers paying more than $100,000 annually to reach a total of 3,490.
