Cloudflare Vs. Fastly Stock: Which Is The Better Buy?

Cestrian Capital Research
Investing Group Leader

Summary

  • Cloudflare is a good business with great potential, and its stock price has rocketed up recently reflecting that potential.
  • Fastly is a less good business with, in our view, less potential. Its stock price has cratered of late, as growth has slowed and cash flow worsened.
  • Both stocks are shortly to report their Q2 earnings. We think earnings reaction risk is to the downside on Cloudflare, to the upside on Fastly.
  • Ultimately, we believe Cloudflare offers more upside for long-term investors, but we own both names in staff personal accounts and intend to add to both on any post-earnings weakness.
  • We would also flag that both companies look to us like they may raise capital soon - if, in the form of new equity, that can hit both stocks.
