Cloudflare also depends on investor money, they haven't made a profit ever and continue to just throw stuff at the wall to grow.

At some point in time they'll have to start thinking about profitability.



It's important to qualify this though. E.g. Amazon was not profitable for a very long time, but only because they furiously reinvested everything. They could've turned profitable at any time.

Assuming Cloudflare is a similar case to Amazon: ie they could turn profitable at any time but choose to reinvest those profits immediately into more business, that is a very good spot to be in.


Big assumption?


Their financials are public.


Ah! No need to make any assumptions then.
