The One Stock Every Cloud Investor Needs to Consider Buying

It is quickly displacing legacy players.

By Brian Stoffel and Brian Feroldi – Sep 15, 2021 at 7:00AM EST

Key Points

  • This company is protected by several moats, including network effects and high switching costs.
  • There's strong evidence of optionality -- or creating multiple new sales streams in the future.
  • The co-founders are still heavily involved.

By this point, it should be no surprise that companies involved with making the cloud hum have been stellar investments. But is it too late to get in on these winners? 

If you're worried the answer is yes, take a deep breath. Cloud spending is expected to continue growing at double-digit rates for years to come. Given that, where's the best place to invest?

In this Sept. 5 video from Motley Fool contributors Brian Feroldi and Brian Stoffel, find out about why Cloudflare (NET +1.13%) is one of the few stocks that every cloud investor should at least consider buying.
