Is Datadog (DDOG) making money?

Datadog (DDOG) is making some more money from the cloud. For example, Datadog’s quarterly operating cash flow grew from $51.65 million in March 2021 to $147.39 million in March 2022.

However, Datadog’s quarterly ending cash flow fell from $373.32 million on 31 March 2021 to -$16.07 million on 31 December 2021. Datadog reported no quarterly ending cash flow on 31 March 2022.

In contrast, Datadog’s total assets grew from $1.952 billion on 31 March 2021 to $2.529 billion on 31 March 2022. Datadog’s value is growing, but I think Mr. Market overpriced Datadog at $97.87 on 11 May 2022. Datadog’s share price grew from $78.62 on 11 May 2021.

I consider Datadog a classic overpriced tech stock. This company seems to have an excellent product in a growing market. Yet Mr. Market is paying far too much for this stock.
