If you believe TTD can sustain its 20.3% operating margin while maintaining mid-teens to high-teens growth, then TTD looks like the better relative value because it is far cheaper than DDOG on P/E, P/S, EV/Revenue, and EV/EBITDA despite stronger profitability.
TTD trades at 20.0x P/E and 3.0x P/S versus DDOG at 864.4x P/E and 6.1x P/S, indicating a very large valuation discount on both earnings and sales bases. The provided implied price for TTD is far above the current price, but the richer DDOG multiples are driven by DDOG’s much weaker earnings profile rather than superior profitability.
