What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($8.48). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (33/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The model range is unusually wide ($0.9080 to $8.48). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 29, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $37.84 – $330.83 · fair‑value band $0.9080 – $8.48 · the $284.51 price screens above the $4.54 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 29, 2026.
Analysis
Cloudflare Inc (NET) currently trades at $284.51, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $4.54, implying the stock looks roughly 6,150.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 33/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the Asset-Based group reads highest at a median of $9.14 per share, and 0 of the 12 models we run sit above the $284.51 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $2.26, and 12 of the 12 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.
Over the trailing twelve months, Cloudflare Inc generated revenue of $2.3B at a net margin of −3.7%. Revenue grew 33.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −5.9%. Net debt stands at $2.8B. Fundamentals as of Aug 29, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $0.9080 (bear case) to $8.48 (bull case); at $284.51, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 79% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −32% fair-value upside, at −98%, NET screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 12 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($60.94) versus Dividend Discount ($2.26). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (71).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 41 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 58
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
