On June 29, Cloudflare rose 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $241.75/share, with turnover of $168 million. The stock continues to gain momentum following CEO Matthew Prince's public warning that global workplaces will face a wave of layoffs over the next year, with labor market dynamics facing a fundamental reshaping.

Cloudflare has already taken the lead in this transition, with internal AI tool usage surging 600%. The company previously completed a 20% workforce reduction of approximately 1,100 employees, a move its latest earnings data validated as technical cost optimization rather than weakness. RBC Capital Markets noted the cuts signal a position of strength to truly shift the operating model to AI-first, with quota-carrying and customer-facing roles largely preserved. The brokerage maintained its outperform rating.

The company also recently partnered with Anthropic to launch secure execution environments for AI agents and introduced Private Access Control Tokens with major browsers, further strengthening its positioning in AI-driven infrastructure.
