Shares of Cloudflare Inc. (NET) surged nearly 5% during morning trade on Monday, rising to an over 38-month high as multiple price targets poured in after the company’s fourth-quarter earnings.

According to The Fly, analysts at Susquehanna and Mizuho increased their price targets for the Cloudflare stock while reiterating their ‘Neutral’ rating.

Susquehanna’s price target for Cloudflare has been increased to $170 from $95, while Mizuho’s price target is $160, up from $130.

At the time of writing, Cloudflare’s stock was trading at over $175, well above the new price targets of both brokerages.

According to data from FinChat, the average price target for Cloudflare as of Feb. 7 was $140.77. 

This comes after Cloudflare beat analyst estimates with its fourth-quarter earnings.

The content delivery service provider posted an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.19, ahead of consensus estimates of $0.18. Its revenue of $459.9 million was also better than the expected $452.04 million.

Susquehanna analysts focused on Cloudflare management’s optimistic commentary for fiscal year 2025, which focused on its ability to win large customers.

Despite the price target hike, Mizuho analysts cautioned that Cloudflare stock carries a relatively high valuation.
