Cloudflare’s Cautious Q4 Revenue Projection
Cloud services leader Cloudflare (NET.N) recently unveiled a cautious fourth-quarter revenue projection that falls below Wall Street expectations. This projection stems from concerns about ongoing tightness in corporate spending amidst economic uncertainties, resulting in a more than 4% decline in the company’s shares during post-market trading.
CFO Thomas Seifert, addressing the hurdles, emphasized, “The business environment in which we operate remains challenging to predict due to broadening geopolitical uncertainty and increasingly mixed macroeconomic data points.”
Despite these concerns, Cloudflare showcased robust performance in the third quarter, concluding on September 30. During this period, the company’s revenue surged by an impressive 32% to $335.6 million, surpassing analysts’ predictions of $330.5 million. Additionally, Cloudflare demonstrated financial improvement, with the loss per share narrowing to 7 cents, a marked improvement from the 13 cents per share reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
