Datadog lifts annual revenue forecast on AI-driven cloud security demand
(Reuters) -Cloud security firm Datadog raised its annual revenue forecast and beat the estimate for quarterly sales on Tuesday, thanks to growth in large customers and AI-driven workloads.
The company has benefited significantly from the increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies, which has driven strong demand for its cloud monitoring and security platform.
On Monday, Datadog acquired Eppo, a feature flagging and experimentation platform, to expand its AI and product analytics offerings, aiming to help customers build products faster and with less risk.
"We are innovating rapidly across the Datadog platform, to help customers observe, secure, and act to solve mission-critical business problems in their modern, cloud environments," CEO Olivier Pomel said.
Datadog's newer products, such as App Builder and On-Call, are outperforming, and its security monitoring is seeing significant customer interest, analysts have said.
The company now expects full-year 2025 revenue to be between $3.22 billion and $3.24 billion, compared with its prior forecast of between $3.18 billion and $3.20 billion. Analysts on average expect $3.20 billion in annual revenue, according to data compiled by LSEG.
It also forecast second-quarter revenue above estimates.
Total revenue in the first quarter was up 25% from a year earlier to $761.6 million, compared with analysts' estimate of $741.5 million.
On an adjusted basis, the company earned 46 cents per share compared with the estimate of 43 cents per share.
At the end of the first quarter, Datadog had about 3,770 customers with annual recurring revenue of $100,000 or more, an increase of 13% from a year earlier.

France approaches Renault on drone production, Renault says
By Gilles Guillaume PARIS (Reuters) -France's defence ministry has approached Renault with a view to helping to manufacture drones, the automaker said on Sunday, after the ministry last week floated the idea French companies could help with production in Ukraine. "We have been contacted by the defence ministry about the possibility of producing drones. Discussions have taken place, but no decision has been taken at this stage, as we are awaiting further details on this project from the ministry," Renault said in a statement to Reuters. Earlier on Sunday, French news website Franceinfo reported the French carmaker was expected to produce drones in Ukraine. Asked about the report, the ministry told Reuters it was up to the carmaker, without naming it, to say whether it would participate. Also without naming any companies, Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu told French news channel LCI on Friday that France would set up a partnership between a major French carmaker and a small defence firm to equip production lines in Ukraine for building drones. Drones have played a significant role in Ukraine's defence since Russia's full-scale invasion of the country in 2022, providing surveillance and strike capabilities that have shaped battlefield tactics against Russian forces.

Speculation Swirls Around Mystery Tesla Model
MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA - 2025/04/04: Tesla Model Y set for reveal during media launch of ... More Melbourne Motor Show 2025. (Photo by Alexander Bogatyrev/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) A new Tesla model – possibly a minimalist version of an existing model – is slated to begin production this month, fueling speculation about what exactly it is. Tesla executives have been pretty clear about timing. 'We're still focused on bringing cheaper models to market soon. The start of production is still planned for June,' said Tesla chief financial officer Vaibhav Taneja during the first quarter earnings conference call on April 22. A June 2 Reuters story claims to confirm that the so-called $25,000 'Model 2' was canceled by CEO Elon Musk. This comes more than a year after Musk denied the original April 2024 Reuters report about cancellation of the project, saying at that time that 'Reuters is lying." The Model 2 – nomenclature used by analysts to designate a low-cost Tesla – was supposed to be a revolutionary low-cost vehicle that used Tesla's latest and greatest manufacturing technology to reduce production costs. Signs now point to a less radical design based on existing platforms. Reuters now reports that something much less ambitious called E41 is planned but claims it is delayed until later this year or early next year. That timing would seem to contradict what Tesla's CFO said (above) in the Q1 earning conference call, though Lars Moravy, VP Vehicle Engineering at Tesla, did mention that the 'ramp maybe -- might be a little slower than we had hoped initially" when referring to the future affordable models. Last week, a Model Y in camo wrap at the Tesla Fremont, Calif. factory sparked speculation that Tesla was about to start production of a new stripped down Model Y. But pushback on social media claimed that it was simply the unannounced Performance version of the Juniper Model Y. And camo-wrapped Model Ys have appeared elsewhere that appear to be the Performance version. That didn't stop speculation that the Fremont images appear to show different proportions than the standard Tesla Model Y, possibly shorter or more compact, which would be in line with a stripped down model. Unsupervised robotaxis will hit roads in Austin in June, Elon Musk said in an interview with CNBC. Unsupervised means the car has no human driver – like Waymo's robotaxi service. 'We have thousands of cars that are being tested,' Musk said, adding that initial deployment will be very small but Musk expects that "we will probably be at 1,000 within a few months" then expand to other cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles. That event could also host new vehicles. Tesla has already demonstrated the radical-looking Cybercab. And it's probably not a coincidence that Tesla is also scheduled to start production of the new unannounced affordable model in June. That upcoming model is expected to use a mixed-platform approach, combining components from Tesla's next-generation platform and existing Model 3/Y architecture. The new affordable Tesla is expected to be autonomous-capable and FSD compliant.

Trump says Musk to face 'very serious consequences' if he funds Democrats
By Nandita Bose BEDMINSTER, N.J. (Reuters) -Donald Trump said on Saturday there would be "serious consequences" if Elon Musk funds U.S. Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the president's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill and said his relationship with his billionaire donor is over. In a telephone interview with NBC News, Trump declined to say what those consequences would be, and went on to add that he had not had discussions about whether to investigate Musk. Asked if he thought his relationship with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was over, Trump said, "I would assume so, yeah." "No," Trump told NBC when asked if he had any desire to repair his relationship with Musk. Musk and Trump began exchanging insults this week, as Musk denounced Trump's bill as a "disgusting abomination." Musk's opposition to the measure is complicating efforts to pass the bill in Congress, where Republicans hold a slim majority in the House of Representatives and Senate. The bill narrowly passed the House last month and is now before the Senate, where Trump's fellow Republicans are considering making changes. Nonpartisan analysts estimate the measure would add $2.4 trillion to the U.S. debt over 10 years. Trump said on Saturday he is confident the bill would get passed by the U.S. July 4 Independence Day holiday. "In fact, yeah, people that were, were going to vote for it are now enthusiastically going to vote for it, and we expect it to pass," Trump told NBC. Musk had deleted some social media posts critical of Trump, including one that signaled support for impeaching the president, appearing to seek a de-escalation of their public feud, which exploded on Thursday. Trump late on Friday suggested a review of federal government contracts held by Musk. People who have spoken to Musk said his anger has begun to recede and they think he will want to repair his relationship with Trump.
