Cloudflare stock’s 50-day moving average has crossed above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), hinting at potential longer-term strength.

At $90.91, Cloudflare stock is above key support levels, including its eight-day and 20-day SMAs of $90.66 and $89.90, respectively. This suggests strong momentum even as some selling pressure occasionally tests its resolve.

Q3 Earnings Show Strong Growth

But it’s not just the technicals that have investors excited.

Cloudflare’s third-quarter earnings report reveals a 28% year-over-year revenue growth to $430.1 million, surpassing expectations. This growth was driven by the expansion of its enterprise segment, with customers generating over $100K in annual recurring revenue (ARR), rising by 28% and now making up 67% of total revenue

The Golden Cross coincides with this momentum shift, positioning the stock for potential gains if buying pressure remains consistent.

AI Innovation & Future Outlook

Despite some market headwinds, including slowing revenue growth and a cautious fourth quarter outlook, Cloudflare continues to innovate. Its focus on AI—especially with the launch of Workers AI—could keep it at the forefront of the cloud space. With a revamped go-to-market strategy and impressive cash generation, the company is poised for long-term growth, even if the short-term future is murkier.

However, it’s not all sunshine. The stock’s forward P/E ratio remains on the higher side at 107.53 according to Benzinga Pro data, and the company’s deep focus on large enterprise clients introduces some revenue volatility.
