Movement Alert｜Datadog Falls 4.05% in Regular Trading, Hedge Fund Momentum De-Risking Overwhelms Multiple Target Price Upgrades

Market Focus07-22 21:47

On July 22, Datadog fell 4.05% in regular trading, trading at $247.19/share, with turnover of $108 million. The decline came despite Bank of America raising its price target to $305 from $280 earlier in the session.

The core drag stemmed from a UBS report revealing that hedge funds have been aggressively unwinding long positions in momentum and semiconductor stocks, with reductions amounting to approximately 5% of total market capitalization — one of the largest on record. This de-risking pushed net positioning in semiconductor and software stocks back to April levels. Datadog was explicitly included in UBS's momentum stock basket alongside Broadcom, Oracle, and Microsoft.

UBS hedge fund equity derivatives sales head Michael Romano advised investors to rebuild positions gradually rather than buying aggressively, expecting the selloff to bottom by late July. Peer software stocks confirmed broad sector pressure, with Palantir declining 2.99% and Salesforce falling 1.76% on the same day.
