Cloudflare stock up 90% since late-2024 buy rating, now rated Hold due to valuation limits.

Since the late-2024 buy rating, Cloudflare's stock price has surged over 90%, reflecting strong business performance. However, the current valuation has caught up with the investment thesis, limiting further upside. The analyst rates Cloudflare as a Hold, citing a strong business but weak entry point and limited margin of safety. Upcoming Q1 results and Investor Day could boost sentiment if key metrics like cRPO, large-customer growth, and AI tools remain strong.
