Cloudflare Stock Climbs 30% On A 5-Day Winning Streak
Shares of Cloudflare (NET) have closed higher in each of the last 5 sessions, a cumulative gain of 30.3%. That added about $26.4 billion to the company's market value, which now stands at about $113.7 billion. The stock closed at $318.50 on Thursday, November 12, 11.8% below its 52-week high of $360.93 and 98.8% above its low of $160.19.
The Streak Next To The S&P 500
Returns for NET and the S&P 500 over the streak and the periods around it, all ending Thursday, November 12 and including dividends:
| Return Period | NET | S&P 500 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Day | 1.1% | -0.3% |
| 5 Days (Current Streak) | 30.3% | 3.3% |
| 1 Month (21 Trading Days) | -1.8% | -1.6% |
| 3 Months (63 Trading Days) | 0.9% | -2.2% |
| Year To Date | 61.6% | 12.0% |
| 1 Year (252 Trading Days) | 35.6% | 12.2% |
Is This Move About Cloudflare Or The Market?
Over the same 5 trading days, the S&P 500 returned +3.3% including dividends, so the run is mostly Cloudflare's own story rather than the market's. Over the past three months the stock is up 0.9%, a window that includes the streak; over the other 58 sessions of that window it was down 22.6%.
What The Numbers Say About The Rally
On the fundamentals, revenue grew 35.7% over the last twelve months, against a median of 17.9% for S&P 500 Information Technology stocks; and its operating margin is -8.2%, versus a median of 21.6%. Cloudflare does not have positive trailing earnings, so there is no meaningful price-to-earnings multiple to compare. The read is mixed: revenue growth above the median on one side, an operating loss on the other.

Momentum Is A Tailwind, Not A Plan
Riding a stock that rises every day feels effortless, and that is precisely the danger: the same momentum that built this run can reverse without notice, and one name's reversal should never be able to reset your whole year.
That is what the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio is for: about 30 quality businesses screened for the fundamentals that survive momentum's mood swings, held with rules. It has a track record of outpacing a benchmark that combines the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400, and the Russell 2000. Watch the runs; own the resilience.
