Cloudflare Prices $2.175B Convertible Note Offering at 60% Premium
NET sits 95% above its 52-week low of $158.83 on elevated volume (2.1× avg).
Summary
Cloudflare priced its $2.175 billion convertible note offering with a 0% coupon and a conversion price of ~$496.94, a 60% premium to the last sale. The deal, expected to close August 13, will net about $2.14 billion. This follows the initial announcement yesterday and comes just days after strong Q2 results and raised guidance. The high conversion premium and capped call suggest management expects significant upside, but the offering is dilutive if shares rise above the conversion price. The size is material relative to the company's $110 billion market cap, providing substantial liquidity for growth or acquisitions.
