Why Cloudflare Stock Popped Today/ 為何Cloudflare今天大升



What happened

Shares of Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) have popped today, up by 11% as of 12:50 p.m. EDT, after the company received some positive comments from Wall Street. Needham analyst Alex Henderson boosted his price target on the stock from $32 to $38 while reiterating a buy rating.

So what

Henderson believes that Cloudflare will enjoy strong demand for its products and services as more companies continue shifting to the cloud. It will also benefit from ongoing adoption of 5G edge computing, in Henderson's view. The analyst also points to Cloudflare's continued focus on innovation, such as recently introducing a new feature that could allow its services to process traffic 40% faster than before.
The price target boost comes after Needham last month had increased its valuation estimate from $24 to $32, citing booming global demand for Cloudflare's offerings evidenced by strong growth in the first quarter across most geographical segments.

Now what

Despite the increased price target, Henderson's estimates for the second quarter are below consensus, as well as Cloudflare's guidance. The analyst is modeling for the company to report a net loss per share of $0.11 in Q2, worse than the consensus estimate of $0.06 per share in red ink.
The tech company's outlook for the second quarter calls for an adjusted net loss per share of $0.05 to $0.06 on revenue of $93.5 million to $94.5 million. Adjusted operating loss is forecast at $19 million to $20 million.

在上個月Needham將其估值預期從24美元提高到32美元之後,價格目標就出現了提振,理由是全球對Cloudflare產品的需求旺盛,第一季度大部分地區的強勁增長都證明了這一點。

怎麼辦


儘管提高了價格目標,但亨德森(Henderson)對第二季度的估計仍低於市場預期以及Cloudflare的指導。分析師正在為該公司建模,報告其第二季度每股淨虧損為0.11美元,低於市場普遍預期的紅色墨水每股0.06美元。
這家科技公司對第二季度展望要求調整後的每股淨虧損為0.05美元至0.06美元,營收為9350萬美元至9450萬美元。調整後的營業虧損預計在1900萬至2000萬美元之間。
