Confidence

Horizon

6‑12m

Key catalyst

Quarterly earnings release & call

Expected move: -44%

Biggest risk

Customer churn or weak renewals, intensified price competition, or execution missteps result in a deeper re-rating and recessionary traffic declines; the bear scenario implies roughly a one-third decline from the anchor.

Invalidation

Break below $8 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Edge compute adoption accelerates, Fastly converts large enterprise logos, and gross margins expand with higher Compute@Edge mix — leading to multiple expansion and ~50% upside from the anchor over 12–24 months.
