Fastly is in technical breakout mode, trading above major resistance and bouncing off its 50-EMA, signaling bullish momentum. I expect FSLY's 200-EMA and anchored VWAP around $17 to provide a strong downside floor, with institutional demand supporting these levels. The options market anticipates a 14.5% move ahead of the August 5th earnings, with key levels at $22 resistance and $17 support.
Fastly joins DIMPACT to improve digital emissions measurement, helping customers cut environmental impact while strengthening its global edge cloud strategy.
Fastly remains a compelling AI-driven edge cloud platform despite a sharp post-earnings sell-off tied to disappointing Q2 guidance. FSLY achieved 20% year-over-year revenue growth in Q1'26 and posted its fifth consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow. Shares trade at a discounted 3.6X forward P/S, well below Cloudflare and Akamai, reflecting market overreaction to near-term deceleration.
Fastly trades at 4.3x EV/NTM revenue despite 20% revenue growth—the peer floor for comparable growth names is 5.5-6x, making the discount hard to justify on fundamentals alone. NRR accelerated from 100% to 113% in four consecutive quarters while RPO surged 63% YoY—both metrics signal the platform strategy is working, not hoping. Security revenue grew 47% YoY for the fourth straight quarter and now represents 22% of total revenue, directly driving a 9-point gross margin expansion since Q1 2025.

FSLY and NET emerge as key beneficiaries of the AI-driven Internet infrastructure boom, but their growth strategies, scale advantages and valuation profiles present very different opportunities.
Fastly is delivering robust growth and margin expansion, driven by AI-native products like Fastly Compute and strong security offerings. FSLY's consumption-based pricing model shields it from SaaS sector headwinds, supporting rising net retention rates even in a challenging macro environment. Security products now comprise 22% of revenue, growing nearly 50% y/y, further diversifying FSLY's growth drivers beyond AI compute.
Fastly's cross-sell push is lifting security revenues and retention, turning customers into multi-product users, hinting at more wallet share.
Fastly's Other revenues soar 67% to $8M in 2026 as edge Compute gains from rising AI workloads and LLM-ready features.
FSLY sinks nearly 42% after a Q1 beat. Investors eye slower Network Services growth, pricing erosion and rising 2026 infra spend.
Fastly's Q1 revenues increase 20% to a record $173M as edge cloud, security and compute demand surge, while 2026 guidance points to mid-teens growth.
