what happened
Cloudflare (NET) reported a larger third-quarter loss on Thursday, even as revenue grew 39%, reaching $782.5 million, up from $562 million a year before. According to TradingView, which cited RTTNews, the GAAP net loss came in at $34.1 million, or $0.10 per share, versus a $1.3 million loss, or breakeven per share, in the same period last year.
Adjusted profit was $143.7 million ($0.38 per share), compared with $102.6 million ($0.27 per share) a year earlier. Gross margin slipped to 71.2% from 74%.
For the fourth quarter, Cloudflare forecasts revenue of $845–846 million and adjusted EPS of $0.43. For fiscal 2026, it projects revenue of $2.963–2.964 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.35.
why it matters
Near 40% revenue growth is the main positive, while the wider GAAP loss and lower gross margin are the points investors will weigh against it. The guidance gives the market a benchmark for judging the next reports.
