Cloudflare lifts full-year revenue forecast as AI-driven traffic fuels growth
Cloudflare reported second‑quarter revenue of $696.1 million, beating analysts’ estimate of $665.5 million, and posted adjusted earnings of $0.29 per share, above the $0.27 expected. The company raised its full‑year revenue outlook to $2.86‑$2.87 billion, up from $2.805‑$2.813 billion, and lifted its annual adjusted‑earnings guidance to $1.25‑$1.26 per share, from $1.19‑$1.20 previously. It also forecast third‑quarter revenue of $736‑$737 million, higher than the $722.1 million consensus. The results were driven by strong demand for Cloudflare’s network as AI agents generate increasing traffic, prompting the firm to cut roughly 20 % of its workforce – about 1,100 jobs – in a May restructuring. Shares jumped about 18 % in after‑hours trading. In a related comment, Cloudflare’s CFO said machine‑generated internet traffic could soon be 1,000 times human traffic, making humans a “rounding error” on the net.
