Cloudflare (NET) dropped 14% in a single day amid a broader AI-induced panic selloff in software and cybersecurity stocks. NET provides physical internet infrastructure (CDN, edge compute across 300+ cities) that chatbots cannot replace. Furthermore, increased AI adoption leads to more traffic and larger attack surfaces, directly benefiting NET's business model. The market has irrationally miscategorized NET as a vulnerable software company, creating a strong contrarian buying opportunity on the dip. The broader SaaS sector selloff continues to drag down all adjacent tech stocks regardless of individual fundamentals, or AI genuinely disrupts traditional cybersecurity moats.
