Why Is Fastly Stock Down 35% Over The Last Quarter?
Fastly (NYSE:FSLY) a cloud computing company that offers a content delivery network and other services, has seen its stock price decline by close to 35% over the last quarter. While the company posted strong Q3 results, with both revenues and EPS coming in ahead of expectations, it’s likely that the stock is being impacted by a broader correction in cloud computing and SaaS stocks in recent months. Moreover, on November 13, the company’s IPO lockup period expired, meaning that company insiders and earlier investors were able to sell shares and this also likely put some pressure on the stock.
We ‘step back’ from these recent swings to review Fastly’s performance over the last few years, as a context for what might come next. Our Interactive dashboard, Why Has Fastly Stock Declined 35% Over The Last Quarter? reviews the near term reasons and the big picture.
