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)

$330.83 $37.84 Fair Value $4.54 Jun 2021 Sep 2026

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.

Note: the current price implies far more future growth than the conservative anchors of our models allow (base growth is deliberately capped, we do not regard such extreme rates as sustainable). Our models are not designed for expectations this high; that is why the individual models scatter extremely ($2.26 to $85.75). Read the values as a conservative anchor, not as a price target.
Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
