Thesis

Cloudflare's edge infrastructure positions it as the inference and security layer for the distributed enterprise — running models and enforcing policy at the edge, close to users, on infrastructure already deployed across 330+ cities. Its existing global network becomes a competitive asset that hyperscalers cannot replicate at comparable unit economics without building comparable edge footprints.

What would prove this wrong

Cloudflare revenue growth falls below 25% or dollar-based net retention drops below 115% in any quarter through FY2027
