Gray Powell has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that highlight both the strengths and challenges faced by Cloudflare. The company delivered impressive third-quarter results, surpassing revenue expectations and showing strong growth across its key performance indicators. Notably, Cloudflare’s revenue growth accelerated, and the company secured significant deals with large enterprise customers, demonstrating its competitive edge in the market.
Despite these positive developments, Powell remains cautious due to the company’s high valuation. Cloudflare is trading at a premium compared to its high-growth peers, which suggests that much of the positive outlook is already reflected in the stock price. Additionally, the departure of a key executive, CJ Desai, although amicable, introduces some uncertainty. Therefore, while the company’s performance is strong, the current valuation and potential risks lead to a Hold rating.
In another report released today, Robert W. Baird also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $220.00 price target.
NET’s price has also changed dramatically for the past six months – from $120.780 to $222.500, which is a 84.22% increase.
