Datadog lifts annual revenue forecast on AI-driven cloud security demand
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.

Hershey to raise prices on its chocolates owing to high cocoa costs
(Reuters) -Hershey (HSY) said on Tuesday it has told retailers that it would be raising prices on its candies due to a surge in costs of cocoa, the key ingredient for its products. "This change is not related to tariffs or trade policies. It reflects the reality of rising ingredient costs including the unprecedented cost of cocoa," a company spokesperson told Reuters. Hershey did not clarify the extent of price increases and which products will be impacted. Cocoa prices have risen sharply in the last two years due to supply problems in Ghana and the Ivory Coast, touching a record in December. Since then, the price of cocoa has fallen to an eight-month low, though it remains elevated above levels from earlier in the decade. Bloomberg was the first to report the company was implementing a roughly double-digit price increase.

Musk's xAI to raise up to $12 billion in debt for AI expansion, WSJ reports
(Reuters) -Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI is working with a financier to secure up to $12 billion more for its expansion plans, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the situation. Valor Equity Partners, an investment firm whose founder, Antonio Gracias, has close ties to Musk, is in talks with lenders to raise the capital, according to the report. The money would be used to buy a massive supply of advanced Nvidia chips that would be leased to xAI for a new huge data center meant to help train and power its AI chatbot Grok, the WSJ reported. Advertisement Valor and xAI did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Some lenders want the debt to be repaid within three years and to cap the amount of money borrowed in order to limit their risk, the report said. Training and deploying advanced AI systems is expensive, requiring costly hardware, intensive compute and skilled engineers in a highly competitive market where rivals such as OpenAI, Google and China's DeepSeek are trying to dominate the technology. XAI is training Grok on 230,000 graphics processing units, including Nvidia's 30,000 GB200 AI chips, in a supercluster, with inference handled by the cloud providers, Musk said in a post on X on Tuesday. Advertisement He added that another supercluster will soon launch with an initial batch of 550,000 GB200 and GB300 chips. The AI startup was expected to burn through about $13 billion over the course of 2025, according to media reports. Earlier this month, the Financial Times reported that xAI was in talks to raise more money in a deal that could value the AI startup between $170 billion and $200 billion. In response, Musk had said xAI was not seeking funding. "We have plenty of capital." (Reporting by Jaspreet Singh in Bengaluru; Editing by Anil D'Silva and Alan Barona)

Indonesia to cut tariffs, non-tariff barriers in US trade deal, Trump official says
July 22 (Reuters) - Indonesia will drop tariffs to zero on more than 99% of its trade with the United States and will also eliminate all non-tariff barriers for American goods in a deal that cuts threatened U.S. tariffs on Indonesian products to 19% from an initial 32%, a senior Trump administration official said on Tuesday. Indonesia will immediately drop its plans to levy tariffs on internet data flows and will support renewal of a longstanding World Trade Organization moratorium on e-commerce duties, the official told reports on a conference call held a week after the deal was first announced on July 15. Indonesia also will remove recently enacted pre-shipment inspection and verifications of U.S. exports, which have posed problems for U.S. agricultural exports and contributed to a growing U.S. farm trade deficit, the official said. In a win for U.S. automakers, the official said that Indonesia has agreed to accept U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for vehicles exported from the United States to the growing country of 280 million people. Indonesia also has agreed to remove export restrictions on critical minerals and remove local content requirements products using these commodities shipped to the U.S. Keywords: USA TRUMP/TARIFFS INDONESIA
