Software - InfrastructureBullish sentiment
The $NET conversation is almost entirely crypto bagholders of the NetNet treasury coin on Robinhood Chain — bulls brag about the $25M treasury milestone, a 130% holder-count surge and $2,800-3,600 mid-term targets, with the MMORPG beta drop and a NAV/inflation story driving the narrative. A smaller voice flags three weeks of bearish price action and dilution outpacing revenue. One off-topic chart note on Cloudflare's own ATH close bleeds in but doesn't change the vibe.
Driven by hype
Cloudflare is the edge-network and web-security company increasingly pitched as AI's security layer. The stock has nearly doubled this year as the AI-everything thesis latched on and institutional buying followed.
• The top line really is growing fast: Q1 revenue +33% YoY at a 21%-ish subscription growth cadence — the market is pricing in that pace for years, which is a stretch given operating margin is still negative 9.7%.
• 37x sales is the whole bear case: that multiple is Nvidia-at-the-peak territory for a company not yet GAAP-profitable, and six insider sales over the last month tell you where management thinks the risk/reward sits.
• The AI-security pitch is real but shared — every network-security vendor is spinning the same AI-protection narrative, and winning share tomorrow doesn't automatically justify today's multiple.
Oct 29 earnings is the gate — any revenue reaccel toward 40% keeps the AI-security premium intact; anything in the high 20s and the premium starts collapsing fast. The chart is extended, so a miss has outsized downside.
