What Happened?
Cloudflare (NET), the internet infrastructure company securing and accelerating traffic for over 20% of the web, just recorded its fastest new contract growth since 2021, with AI companies signing platform deals worth up to $85 million while bypassing Amazon, Microsoft, and Google entirely.
Q4 earnings reported February 10 showed revenue of $614.5 million beating the Wall Street estimate of $591.3 million by $23 million, while new annualized contract bookings grew nearly 50% year over year, the fastest pace since 2021.
Existing customers spent 20% more with Cloudflare than they did a year ago, and the 269 companies each paying over $1 million annually grew 55% year over year, proving the platform pulls more budget the longer customers stay.
On February 23, Cloudflare launched what it described as the world’s first complete SASE platform, an enterprise security suite protecting corporate networks from cyberattacks, with post-quantum encryption at no additional cost to customers.
Matthew Prince, CEO, stated on the Q4 2025 earnings call that “over the month of January alone, the number of weekly requests generated by AI agents more than doubled across the Cloudflare network,” directly validating the company’s case that agentic internet traffic is becoming a structural revenue multiplier.
With $4.1 billion in cash, a confirmed Investor Day later in 2026, and AI agent traffic doubling monthly on a network already touching over 20% of the web, Cloudflare’s position as the default infrastructure layer for the agentic internet compounds across its security, developer, and content monetization platforms simultaneously.
Wall Street’s Take on NET Stock
The fastest new contract growth since 2021, anchored by AI companies routing all traffic through Cloudflare over the hyperscalers, directly feeds a revenue CAGR of 29.1% forecast for 2026, per TIKR estimates.
Revenue is projected to grow from $2.2 billion in 2025 to $7.0 billion by 2030, while EBITDA margins expand from 22.8% today toward 34.9% by 2030, compressing the multiple on a forward earnings basis every year.
NET stock’s EPS is also forecast to grow from $0.93 in 2025 to $5.80 by 2030, a 120.1% jump in the final year alone, as operating leverage from the unified global network kicks in at scale.
Twenty-two analysts currently rate NET a buy or outperform against just 3 sells, with a mean price target of $232.43, implying 19.1% upside from the current price of $195.19, per TIKR street targets as of March 6.
The spread between the low target of $135 and the high of $300 reflects a real binary: bulls are pricing in sustained AI infrastructure adoption while bears are pricing in hyperscaler retaliation and gross margin pressure from the free-to-paid customer mix shift.
What Does the Valuation Model Say?
The TIKR mid-case model targets $555.77 by December 2030, implying 184.7% total return and a 24.2% annualized IRR, built on a 24.6% revenue CAGR and net income margins expanding to 16.5%.
The market is pricing NET as a premium-multiple growth stock at $195.19, but the EBITDA margin trajectory from 22.8% today to 34.9% by 2030 means the business is structurally repricing toward infrastructure-grade profitability.
AI companies signing $85 million platform contracts and routing 100% of traffic through Cloudflare over Amazon, Microsoft, and Google validates the 24.6% revenue CAGR the TIKR model requires.
AI agent traffic more than doubling on the network in January alone, combined with pool of funds contracts reaching 20% of Q4 ACV, confirms this is a platform adoption story, not a single-product cycle.
If gross margins, currently at 74.9% and under pressure from the free-to-paid customer mix shift, compress meaningfully below the 75% to 77% long-term target, the EBITDA expansion path to 34.9% breaks and the $555.77 model price collapses.
The confirmed Investor Day later in 2026 is the next major event to watch, where management is expected to formally lay out the Act 4 content monetization framework and provide the first structured financial targets around agentic internet revenue.
