Runway says ARR hit $200 million after doubling in five months

Runway, an AI video and world model company, said its annual recurring revenue has climbed past $200 million, up from $100 million in April. Co-founder and co-CEO Anastasis Germanidis said the company crossed that mark last week, marking a doubling in roughly five months. Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that Runway expects ARR to top $350 million by the end of this year. The company said a large share of its recent growth has come from enterprise customers. In August, Runway disclosed that its net revenue retention rate had exceeded 300%, a sign of strong renewals and expansion from existing clients. It also said usage from one Fortune 20 customer had grown 17-fold this year. Runway’s customer roster already includes Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe and Robinhood, according to the report.

Bernstein Says Datadog’s Q2 May Mark a Growth Peak as H2 Slowdown Comes Into View

Datadog posted a strong second quarter in 2026, with revenue reaching $1.121 billion, up 35.6% year over year and accelerating 340 basis points sequentially, its fastest pace since 2022. The company beat guidance by $46 million and lifted the midpoint of its full-year outlook by more than three times. Even so, Bernstein argues the strength may represent a near-term top rather than the start of another leg higher. In Bernstein’s view, Datadog’s growth is likely to slow modestly in the second half, with revenue expansion falling about 200 basis points to roughly 33%. The firm points to lower usage from what it believes is Datadog’s largest AI customer, OpenAI, after a nine-figure renewal signed early in Q3. Management, according to the report, fully de-risked that account in Q4 guidance by assuming only the contractual minimum spend and no overage. The note also flags softer AWS SSO web traffic data as a possible sign of a temporary Q4 air pocket in non-AI demand. Bernstein still frames that issue as one-off rather than structural. It kept an Market Perform rating on Datadog with a $237 price target, saying the main concern is not business quality but valuation and crowded positioning. The report’s bottom line is simple: Datadog remains a good company, but the stock may already reflect most of the good news expected over the next 12 to 18 months.
