Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:ADBE): The Creative Cloud King in Turmoil
Adobe's stock is down 12.3% at $384.52, and it's not just a blip—it's a full-blown crisis. The company's fiscal second-quarter guidance was a disaster. They projected earnings of $4.98 on revenue of $5.8 billion, but investors weren't buying it. The stock is down 13% in 2025 and a whopping 32.6% over the last 12 months. This is a company that's lost its creative spark, and investors are running for the exits.
Datadog Inc (NASDAQ:DDOG): The Observability Platform in Free Fall
Datadog's stock has been a rollercoaster since the start of the year, tumbling 8.2% after its fourth-quarter earnings report. Revenue was $737.73 million, but net income plummeted to $45.59 million. Broader market volatility, geopolitical tensions, and Trump’s increased tariffs on Canadian imports have left DDOG down 29.3% year-to-date. At last check, DDOG was off 1.6% at $100.39 for the session. This is a company that's lost its way, and investors are paying the price.
Dynatrace Inc (NYSE:DT): The Performance Monitoring Giant in a Steady Drawdown
Dynatrace's stock is in a steady drawdown, now carrying an 11.2% year-to-date deficit after losing more than 21% in the last month. Shares have pulled back from their Feb. 12, three-year high of $63, though support at the $48 level has so far held firm. So far today, DT has shed 3%, now trading at $47.77. This is a company that's lost its edge, and investors are taking notice.
