Cloudflare, Inc.
Cloudflare shows strong longer-term price appreciation with a 69.5% 12‑month gain while near-term returns are more mixed and the latest close sits slightly below the 50‑day moving average. Fundamentals highlight high gross margins, positive free cash flow, and ongoing revenue and earnings improvement alongside continued GAAP losses and elevated leverage. Valuation multiples such as EV/EBITDA above 900x and a free cash flow yield below 1% indicate an expensive market profile that embeds substantial growth expectations.
