Snowflake, MongoDB, and Akamai shares are falling, what you need to know

What happened

Datadog reported third-quarter revenue of $1.20 billion, up 35% from a year earlier and above the $1.15 billion consensus estimate, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.81. Its fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $1.19 billion to $1.20 billion implied flat sequential growth.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Datadog’s outlook suggested its revenue might not grow from the prior quarter, prompting concerns about slower demand for cloud and infrastructure services. Because these companies serve related technology needs, investors may sell their shares on the possibility that customers are moderating spending, even without company-specific bad news.

Analyst inference

Datadog’s reported annual growth and earnings beat estimates, but its near-term guidance pointed to a pause in quarterly expansion. The reported declines in Snowflake, MongoDB, and Akamai show a negative read-through across infrastructure peers, rather than evidence in this article of weaker results at those companies.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Datadog’s fourth-quarter revenue result versus its $1.19 billion to $1.20 billion guidance will show whether the implied pause in sequential growth materializes. Analyst inference
2. Future updates from Snowflake, MongoDB, and Akamai on customer demand and revenue could clarify whether Datadog’s outlook signals a broader slowdown or company-specific conditions. Analyst inference
3. Watch for signs that enterprise customers are changing cloud or AI spending, since the article links Datadog’s usage-based revenue to activity across those services. Analyst inference
