Datadog Inc.'s (DDOG) stock soared 5.54% in pre-market trading on Thursday, as investors embraced the company's promising growth trends and improving profitability.

The cloud monitoring and analytics platform provider has seen a significant uptick in its return on capital employed (ROCE), a key metric that measures profitability relative to the capital invested in the business. According to recent analyses, Datadog's ROCE has risen to 2.5%, indicating that the company is generating positive returns from its investments.

While this ROCE figure is still relatively low compared to the software industry average of 9%, the upward trajectory in Datadog's ROCE is encouraging. The company has successfully transitioned from being loss-making five years ago to generating profits, signaling its ability to reinvest its earnings effectively and create value for shareholders.
