Movement Alert|Cloudflare Rises 3.81% in Regular Trading, Multiple AI Partnership Catalysts Continue to Fuel Momentum

Market Focus07-14

On July 14, Cloudflare rose 3.81% in regular trading, trading at $277.685/share, with turnover of $178 million. The rally was driven by a confluence of positive developments centered on the company's expanding AI strategy.

On the news front, Cloudflare launched a research pilot with OpenAI, planning to inject approximately 20% of global web traffic data to advance AI search toward real-time indexing capabilities. Scotiabank significantly upgraded Cloudflare's rating from Sector Perform to Sector Outperform, raising its target price from $225 to $300, reflecting strong confidence in the company's growth trajectory. Additionally, Cloudflare announced that starting September 15, it will default-block all AI training crawlers — including Googlebot, Applebot, and BingBot — and introduce granular AI traffic management tools across search, proxy, and training scenarios, reinforcing its dominant position in internet infrastructure.

These developments collectively strengthen Cloudflare's dual positioning as both an enabler of and gatekeeper against AI data collection, expanding its monetization potential in the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem.
