However, the year to date share price return is still down 4.7% and the 1 year total shareholder return has declined 27.4%, while the 3 year total shareholder return of 42% indicates that longer term holders have seen...

Cloudflare (NET) has returned about 61% in three months and trades at or near its three-year high. The question on holders' minds is plain: what happens if its growth cools? The company has guided revenue growth for the third quarter of 2026 to 31%, and its CFO says the way customers now pay makes each quarter harder to forecast.

The popular view of CrowdStrike (CRWD) is that AI has made a fast-growing security company grow even faster. The stock returned 98% over the past year. The S&P 500 returned 18.5% over the same period. For that view to be right, two things must both be true. The faster growth has to last, and it has to turn into real profit. So far, only the first one clearly holds.

Zscaler (ZS) has gained 48% in three months, yet trades about 43% below its 52-week high. Near $190 it costs 9.3 times sales, against 3.2 for the S&P 500. The question is which growth that price buys: the 25% reported for fiscal 2026, or the roughly 17% guided for fiscal 2027.

Cloudflare (NET) stock has gained about 45% in three months while the S&P 500 returned 2.8%, and sits at the top of its 52-week range. That price is paying for more than the growth: a business Cloudflare has only started to build, charging AI agents for the requests they send.
