Cloudflare Shares Jump 9.3% After Record Quarter, Margin Questions Remain
· 6 sources
Cloudflare shares rose 9.3% after a record quarter, though outlets point to margin pressure and a Goldman Sachs view that implies 56% upside.
What happened
Cloudflare (NET) shares rallied on Monday after the company posted what TheStreet describes as its best quarter ever. GuruFocus reports the stock gained 9.3%, and The Globe and Mail ran two pieces asking why the shares were rising.
TheStreet notes that the strong quarter came with a growing margin challenge for the company. TIKR.com says the stock had tumbled heading into the earnings report, and describes the quarter as a record one.
TIKR.com also reports that Goldman Sachs sees 56% upside, but adds that the target requires a lot to go right. GuruFocus cites a GF Score of 79 for the company.
Context
Cloudflare provides internet infrastructure and security services, and investors often watch its profit margins alongside revenue growth.
Why it matters
The mix of record results and margin concerns shows how the market may be weighing growth against profitability for Cloudflare.
