Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will the EPS be this quarter, and will it continue the trend of significant surprises?

Given the company's history of exceeding EPS expectations, this will be a key indicator of ongoing profitability and market confidence.

How many new customers were added this quarter?

Customer growth is crucial for future revenue, and any slowdown could raise concerns about market demand.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate Cloudflare's ability to sustain high growth rates despite increasing competition, as its unique service offerings and customer loyalty could provide a buffer.

Supporting Evidence

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

The options market is pricing a larger move than historical averages, suggesting that investors are bracing for significant news.

Insider selling may reflect individual strategies rather than company performance, as overall company health remains strong.

Key Risk

If customer growth exceeds expectations, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

This quarter's results will be closely watched to see if Cloudflare can maintain its impressive growth trajectory amidst increasing competition.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $0.30 or higher would confirm strong operational performance and growth.

Bear Confirmed If

An EPS below $0.20 could indicate potential issues with customer acquisition or revenue generation.
