Datadog
A cloud-application observability and security SaaS positioned as a usage-based demand layer: the more customers run on cloud and AI, the more monitoring they consume. Its 2025 revenue of $3.43B (+28%) across 32,700 customers is tied directly to expanding AI workloads, and 5,500+ customers already run AI observability that tracks LLM and AI usage, forming the next growth axis. Because the platform itself runs on cloud such as AWS, its cost and infrastructure depend on that layer — so the watch points are AI-monitoring penetration and the cloud-consumption cycle.

YTD as of 2026-10-09 · source: Yahoo Finance
Datadog operates across NASDAQ, Cloud SaaS, AI observability. It is up +56.6% in 2026. The stock (+56.6%) and its supply side (avg +17.9%) are moving in step. Among connected nodes the furthest ahead is NVIDIA (+23.7%) and the furthest behind is Amazon (+12%). If chain logic explains the gap, the laggard is the next propagation candidate; if not, the link itself deserves a second look. Because the platform itself runs on cloud such as AWS, its cost and infrastructure depend on that layer — so the watch points are AI-monitoring penetration and the cloud-consumption cycle.
