Cloudflare reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $696.1 million on August 6, 2026, beating the $664.7 million analyst estimate by about 4.7%, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.29 topping the $0.27 consensus by roughly 7.5%. Both the top and bottom line beat by a meaningfully wider margin than a typical in-line quarter.
Guidance reinforced the beat rather than merely confirming it. Cloudflare raised full-year revenue guidance to $2.87 billion at the midpoint, up from a prior $2.81 billion, and lifted full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $1.26 at the midpoint — a 5% increase. Third-quarter guidance also landed ahead of what analysts had modeled heading into the print.
NET shares jumped as much as 15% in after-hours trading on the report. A move of that size on a beat-and-raise reflects the market pricing in that Cloudflare's growth trajectory is not just intact but strengthening — the combination of a wide beat on both revenue and EPS, plus a raised outlook on every forward metric, gave investors no reason to discount the headline numbers.
