How it trades on rate days beta −0.12 to TLT · on the worst bond days it held up better than the market

How it trades on rate days

How NET has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year −0.12 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Cloudflare Inc moved −0.12% on average · correlation −0.02 · higher than 7% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −0.89 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +0.24% on average against −0.72% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +4.10% TLT −1.32% that day 2026-11-10

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Cloudflare Inc

NET in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Cloudflare runs a global edge network that businesses route their traffic through for security and performance rather than for raw computing. It offers web application firewalls, bot management and DDoS protection, content delivery and DNS services, a zero-trust network-access layer for remote work, and a set of developer tools for building and running applications on that same network. It is based in San Francisco and listed in the US.
Where it sits in the stack
Cloudflare carries no seat in Rubin, the diary's build-out index for chips and data-centre equipment; it sits instead in Agentic Winners 40, our index of software and platform names positioned around AI agents running on existing infrastructure. Within our universe it belongs to the edge-networking and cloud-security sleeve: it is a customer of hyperscale cloud capacity for backhaul and compute, and its own network becomes infrastructure that application and agent builders route through and pay to use.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group prices it against edge and cloud-security names for the reason that they compete on the same traffic — Zscaler, Akamai, Fastly and Datadog; the market also weighs it against Microsoft's competing security and edge services.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
It holds a seat in Agentic Winners 40 and carries a Closelooknet score across our modules, strongest on momentum and weakest on valuation. The diary has quoted it repeatedly in the Midday 10 alongside other security names when that group holds its bid against a weaker software tape.
What the diary watches
Whether the gap between its momentum reading and its valuation reading narrows, and whether its print record of consistent earnings and revenue beats keeps holding when the wider security group is sold together.

Cloudflare Inc (NET) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology. Constituent of Agentic Winners 40.

The Closelooknet company score reads 44/100 composite (momentum 73, quality 33, valuation 10) across 7 modules — the full breakdown, chart structure and analog history load live above.

  • Buybacks, FY2025 25 m USD 0.0% of today's market value
  • Share count +2.1% in FY2025 451 m USD of stock-based compensation in the year
