Valuing Datadog stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Datadog's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Datadog's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 1778x. In other words, Datadog shares trade at around 1778x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

There are currently 16.5 million Datadog shares held short by investors – that's known as Datadog's "short interest". This figure is 2.6% up from 16.1 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Datadog shares can be evaluated.
Datadog's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Datadog shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Datadog shares traded daily (recently around 3.1 million). Datadog's SIR currently stands at 5.26. In other words for every 100,000 Datadog shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5260 shares are currently held short.
However Datadog's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Datadog shares, or, against the total number of tradable Datadog shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Datadog's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Datadog shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.088% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Datadog shares, roughly 88 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Datadog.
