Fastly's overall offering falls far short of Cloudflare's, and the market has already rewarded the strongest cybersecurity players. Fastly is a more modern CDN than Akamai and has some cybersecurity exposure. Buying is off the table for now, though if forced to buy one stock, Fastly would probably be the pick. x.com 

Fastly looks cheap at under 5x sales, but its growth is already down to 15% and slowing, which does not look like the makings of a winner. This is a preliminary view pending deeper work. x.com 

Fastly could really rerate on a blowout earnings report, with a low market cap and probable catalysts ahead from agentic AI use. Its daily and weekly charts are setting up well with excellent structure. x.com 

Fastly has one of the worst management teams in all of software, which makes the stock one to be careful with. x.com  x.com 

Cloudflare's business outlook looks very bullish, but the stock needs to fall back below $200 before even a small position makes sense. Cloudflare sees a need for a payment processor that can handle millions or tens of millions of transactions per second to support microtransactions on the agentic web, and its recent fireside chat was very bullish. x.com  x.com 

Fastly is forming a double bottom near $17-17.50 after its pullback from about $34, and a close above $20 would confirm the base and target $23.32, with a volume gap that could speed the move. The 20- and 50-day EMAs are converging near $19-20 as support, and the 200 EMA near $16.50 keeps the uptrend from February intact. In June, management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance and launched AI developer tools. x.com 

Cloudflare is the kind of name worth shorting: software stocks have been legitimately weak with moats in question, and some, like Cloudflare, still carry premium multiples. Cheap can get cheaper, as Duolingo fell from $520 to $250 and then to $90. Shorting hot momentum names like SanDisk or Applied Optoelectronics makes far less sense. x.com  x.com 

Cloudflare is a short because 45-50x sales is too much to pay for 35% growth. x.com 

Fastly's role with Meta Muse looks bigger than analysts have noted, which is bullish for a stock at 5x NTM revenue versus Cloudflare's 38x. In 738 controlled tests run by another investor, 29.3% of Muse agent traffic came from Fastly, versus 37.0% from Cloudflare, 19.4% from Meta and 14.4% from AWS. x.com 

Fastly could see meaningful upside as personal AI agents drive a surge in traffic and security needs at a low valuation. At a $3.8B market cap it trades at a far lower multiple than Cloudflare. Security, now 25% of revenue, grows 40% on DDoS protection, bot management and API discovery. Sell-side estimates of 12% growth for three years, with security slowing to 20% and 16% in 2027-28, look easy to beat at next week's investor day, where the CFO will give a multi-year framework and new products. … Show more
