Datadog Tumbles 0.67% with 370M Turnover Ranking 277th Amid AI Valuation Skepticism

On September 24, 2025, Datadog (DDOG) recorded a trading volume of $0.37 billion, a 29.82% decline from the previous day, ranking 277th in market activity. The stock closed down 0.67%, reflecting subdued investor engagement in the broader market.

Recent market sentiment highlights caution around AI-driven valuations, with industry leaders like OpenAI’s Sam Altman cautioning that inflated expectations could lead to investor disappointment. While Datadog operates within the AI infrastructure sector, its performance remains tied to broader skepticism about overvaluation risks in the space. Analysts note that elevated multiples for AI-related stocks may not align with near-term revenue growth, a dynamic that could weigh on market participants’ risk appetite.

To run this back-test accurately, clarification is required on key parameters: universe scope (e.g., S&P 500 vs. broader U.S. stocks), pricing conventions (close-to-close vs. open prices), transaction cost assumptions, benchmark comparisons, and output granularity. Once defined, the strategy can be evaluated against the 2022–2025 period to assess its viability.
