Here is what RiverPark Advisors had to say about Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ:DDOG) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
“We initiated a small position in Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ:DDOG) during the quarter. As businesses have transitioned to cloud software infrastructure, much of which is in isolated data silos, it has become increasingly difficult for data engineers to monitor and analyze system performance. Datadog provides a SaaS software platform to monitor and analyze the performance of software applications and IT infrastructure.
The company has quickly grown its revenue from $100 million in 2017 to $1 billion in 2021 and, we believe, should continue to grow revenue at more than 30% annually as it penetrates its $40 billion and fast-growing market. Less than 10% of software applications are currently monitored. Datadog’s customer count has been growing rapidly, up 27% year over year as of 3Q22. Additionally, the company’s dollar-based net retention rate has been 130%+ as existing customers continue to use an increasing number of products and the company continues to add new features. For 3Q22, 80% of customers used 2+ products, while 16% of customers used 6+ products (up from less than 1% two years ago). As an extremely capex light software business, DDOG already has significant FCF (and a 24% FCF margin), which should continue to grow more than 40% for 2022 to $355 million, up from $1 million two years ago.”

Here is what ClearBridge Investments had to say about Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
“Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), meanwhile, also fits squarely within our earnings reset group. We took advantage of its enterprise multiple falling back to historic lows to initiate a starter position in the leading manufacturer of electric vehicles (EV) and developer of battery technologies. Tesla has a significant structural cost advantage in battery production, EV manufacturing and EV selling, which gives it industry-leading operating margins in EVs. As the auto cycle has softened, the stock has sold off substantially with the rest of the automakers, despite EVs continuing to have a secular growth advantage. Tesla has a clean balance sheet with negative net debt and enormous revenue growth, EBITDA growth and free cash flow generation. Its margin buffer also gives the company the ability to cut prices while still protecting earnings better than competitors, which should help support continued volume growth. There is also significant upside optionality driven by its software offerings, which we do not believe is currently priced into the stock.
That being said, Tesla is highly indexed to a flagging auto market and we expect its earnings outlook to worsen in the near term. We are also monitoring increasing EV competition and the recently emerging risks to the brand and management integrity raised by CEO Elon Musk’s actions at Twitter to determine future position size in the portfolio.”
