Shares of Cloudflare Inc. (NET) declined sharply today, closing at $196.20, marking a 20-day low as the stock continues to struggle following a major service outage. The stock has now lost nearly 16.35% over the past six trading days, exacerbated by a 2.83% drop on Tuesday due to disruptions affecting key applications like ChatGPT and X. This heightened bearish momentum is reflected in the significant options activity, with 24,267 contracts traded, indicating increased investor concern. Despite a strong year-to-date performance, analysts remain cautious, with a Hold rating amid valuation worries.
