Summary · why it matters

JFrog Ltd. was the top contributor to the Wasatch Small Cap Growth Strategy in the second quarter of 2026, according to the strategy's investor letter. The company, which provides a software supply chain platform, had been caught in a broader selloff of software stocks due to AI concerns, but Wasatch believes JFrog has defensible moats and will benefit from AI as it accelerates code generation and increases dependencies moving through the development pipeline. JFrog reported quarterly earnings and revenue that topped consensus estimates and raised its 2026 earnings guidance, with management noting that quarterly cloud revenue rose 50% year over year in the first quarter, driven by demand from customers leveraging AI coding agents. The stock closed at $80.16 per share on July 24, 2026, with a one-month return of negative 11.02% and a 52-week gain of 87.95%, giving it a market capitalization of $9.70 billion. The strategy underperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which gained 25.71%, as its disciplined focus on higher-quality businesses caused it to trail the benchmark, though several AI-related holdings contributed positively.

Datadog Enterprise Bookings Double as $100,000-Plus Customers Reach 4,720

Datadog's enterprise new logo annualized bookings more than doubled year over year in the second quarter of 2026, with customers generating $100,000 or more in annual recurring revenue climbing to about 4,720, a 23% increase from roughly 3,850 a year prior, while total customer count rose to approximately 33,400 from 31,400. Over 750 AI-native customers now rely on Datadog, and all 10 of the largest AI companies are counted among its customers, with MCP tool calls quadrupling quarter over quarter. The momentum builds on a quarter in which revenues grew 36% year over year to $1.12 billion, non-GAAP operating margin reached 23% from 20%, free cash flow rose to $279 million from $165 million, and remaining performance obligations reached $3.47 billion, up 43%. Third-quarter revenue guidance of $1.135 billion to $1.145 billion and a full-year range of $4.45 billion to $4.47 billion embed a previously flagged usage reduction from its single largest customer, while full-year non-GAAP operating income guidance of $1.01 billion to $1.03 billion points to continued margin discipline against elevated GAAP operating expense growth tied partly to the Adaptive ML acquisition. Rivals Dynatrace and Elastic are reporting comparable enterprise expansion, with Dynatrace posting record new-logo annual recurring revenue growth of more than 160% and total ARR of $2.14 billion, up 17%, and Elastic growing its $100,000-plus ACV customer cohort past 1,800 accounts alongside 27% remaining performance obligation growth. Datadog shares have surged 74.7% year to date, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings stands at $2.52 per share.

Cisco Launches Nvidia-Backed Splunk AI POD for Air-Gapped Environments

Cisco Systems has pushed Splunk AI deeper into private infrastructure with a new Nvidia-backed AI POD built for self-managed and air-gapped environments. The platform, available now, pairs Cisco infrastructure with Nvidia computing and Kubernetes, while Splunk's Tokenomics tool is designed to track AI spending across agents and employee coding tools and estimate future consumption before the billing cycle closes. Cisco is also widening the commercial opportunity beyond the data center after signing a multiyear agreement with Amazon Web Services to jointly develop security products. Cisco said it received $9.3 billion of hyperscaler AI-infrastructure orders during fiscal 2026, equal to roughly 14.7% of its $63.3 billion annual revenue, though orders are not revenue. Cisco shares were up roughly 0.1% at $110.24.
