☆ Options traders betting things could get even worse for two troubled stocks
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-09 | by ( Michael Khouw | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Options volumes and prices have skyrocketed since, but they're not betting the stock will do the same. Some options traders believe that the already hard hit stock could fall further. One of the most active single-stock options so far this week are those of Datadog (DDOG) , which reported earnings on Tuesday. A put seller is willing to get long the underlying stock at the strike price should it fall below that level by expiration. Options premiums in DDOG were high going into earnings, but not high enough as the sharp move higher illustrated.

Cramer said this change in Datadog clients' habits could mean fewer problems for other tech and enterprise software companies. According to Cramer, today's tech rally indicates that last week's market gains won't be short-lived.

New York had its share of startup investors and venture-backed companies, but it wasn't a hotbed of tech activity. After four years at the company, Wang left but chose to stay in New York to launch Bearworks, providing software to sales reps. In 2014, prior to the run of New York City IPOs, California was the leader, followed by Massachusetts and then New York. During the record fundraising year of 2021, New York startups received almost $50 billion across 1,935 companies. Northern California has long been the heartbeat of the tech industry, but Murat Bicer remembers what it was like for New York startups before the rush.

☆ Cloud stocks falter as Datadog trims 2023 revenue expectations
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-08 | by ( Jordan Novet | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Cloud stocks slipped on Tuesday, after one of the more prominent ones, Datadog , lowered its full-year revenue guidance as organizations remain engaged in cost-saving exercises. Then inflation hit, central bankers raised interest rates, and investors began selling holdings in fast-growing cloud stocks and rotating into safer investments that could more consistently offer returns. Executives at many cloud companies responded by reducing overhead, sometimes in the form of layoffs. Cloud stocks began to rebound, but many, including Datadog, have yet to trade above their record highs from 2021. Like Datadog, Everbridge , whose software helps companies respond to emergencies, lowered its growth expectations for the full year on Tuesday.

☆ Canaccord Genuity upgrades Datadog, calls it a top software stock to play the battered sector

The sell-off in Datadog 's stock creates an attractive buying opportunity for investors looking to take advantage of the crippled software sector, Canaccord Genuity said. Shares of the cloud software company have plummeted nearly 56% this year, with the new price target suggesting shares can jump 39% from Wednesday's close. Among his reasons for liking the stock, Crane cited opportunities from the company's newer and secondary products like its cloud cost management and cloud security offerings. "DDOG can easily demonstrate customer ROI from gaining detailed visibility into cloud usage trends and managing them as needed," he wrote. "If done right, it further cements DDOG's strategic foothold in a customer while also offering attractive upsell potential."
