WS #17009
A broad-based risk-off sentiment is sweeping global markets, with the FTSE 100 tumbling 2% as investors rotate out of high-multiple tech stocks amid 'AI jitters.' This macro headwind is impacting the entire technology sector, yet individual stories of strong execution are emerging as outliers. Cloudflare ($NET) surged 19.22% on record Q3 revenue growth of 39% year-over-year, demonstrating that demand for cloud infrastructure remains robust even as valuation multiples compress. This divergence suggests the selloff is driven by multiple contraction rather than a fundamental collapse in tech demand.
