Wall Street Expectations

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will be the reported EPS this quarter?

Given the company's history of beating EPS estimates, this figure will be crucial in determining market sentiment and future expectations.

How many new customers were added in the last quarter?

Customer growth is a key indicator of the company's ability to expand its market share and sustain revenue growth.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate Cloudflare's ability to sustain high growth rates due to its unique product offerings and customer loyalty.

Supporting Evidence

Cloudflare has consistently beaten EPS estimates, indicating strong operational execution.

The options market is pricing a larger move than historical averages, suggesting heightened expectations.

Recent trends in cybersecurity spending could favor Cloudflare's growth.

Key Risk

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

This quarter's performance will be critical in assessing Cloudflare's ability to maintain its momentum in a competitive market.

Bull Confirmed If

Reporting an EPS of $0.30 or higher would confirm strong profitability and growth.
