Datadog Inc. announced on July 2, 2025, that it will replace Juniper Networks Inc. in the S&P 500 index. This change is effective prior to the opening of trading on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
The inclusion in the S&P 500 is a significant milestone for Datadog, as it typically leads to increased demand for the company's stock from index funds that track the S&P 500. Juniper Networks was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., necessitating its removal from the index.
This move enhances Datadog's market visibility and liquidity, positioning it among the largest and most influential companies in the U.S. stock market. The company's market capitalization of $46.6 billion as of Wednesday's close is significantly higher than the median for the S&P 500.
