On September 24, Fastly, Inc. fell 8.87% in regular trading, trading around $27.065/share, with turnover of approximately $52.09 million. The decline represents a near-complete reversal of the prior session's 8%-plus rally triggered by the company's investor day.
The pullback was driven by profit-taking pressure compounded by cautious stances from two major investment banks. BofA Securities maintained its Underperform rating, raising its price target modestly to $22 from $20, noting that while the platform narrative is increasingly coherent, the financial contribution from Fastly's AI opportunity remains uncertain. RBC Capital similarly maintained its Sector Perform rating with a $25 target, acknowledging that AI traffic is growing 6.5 times faster than human traffic but emphasizing that monetization remains at an early stage.
At the investor day, management outlined 2029 revenue targets of $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion and highlighted the company's strategic shift from a CDN-focused business toward a broader multi-product edge-cloud platform. Three consecutive quarters of 20%-plus revenue growth and 117% net retention were noted, though BofA described the financial update as somewhat lackluster.
Fastly, Inc. operates an edge cloud platform enabling organizations to build, secure, and deliver digital experiences at global scale, with services encompassing AI-driven traffic.
