- Fastly stock surged after social media analysis suggested its role in handling traffic for Meta's Muse AI assistant may be larger than previously understood. Tests indicated Fastly handled a significant portion of Muse's traffic, particularly for browser navigation tasks. This potential underestimation by Wall Street analysts could be a positive catalyst for Fastly's valuation.
Investing.com -- Fastly Inc (NYSE:FSLY) shares surged 16.5% Wednesday following social media analysis suggesting the company’s role with Meta Muse may be larger than previously understood by Wall Street analysts.
An account named Odd Diligence posted findings on social media platform X speculating that Fastly handles a significant portion of traffic for Meta’s Muse AI assistant. The analysis was based on 738 controlled tests conducted over the past week using test websites with tracking analytics.
According to the social media post, Muse sent traffic through Fastly in 29.3% of tests, compared to Cloudflare at 37.0%, Meta at 19.4%, and AWS at 14.4%. The analysis noted that Fastly was used in 100% of tests when browser navigation was required, such as when Muse was asked to visit a restaurant website to find a menu or navigate a website to make a doctor appointment.
The post indicated that Cloudflare was used in 100% of tests involving API or curl requests, while web search requests were split across Fastly, Cloudflare, Meta, and AWS.
The findings suggest Fastly’s involvement with Meta Muse may be more substantial than Wall Street has accounted for in its analysis of the content delivery network provider. Cloudflare has received considerable analyst attention regarding its role with Muse, while Fastly’s participation has been less widely discussed.
The social media analysis tracked IP addresses, user agents, and operating systems across the test traffic to determine which infrastructure providers were handling Muse’s requests in different scenarios.
