Key Metrics
Top Statement Risk
Persistent GAAP losses and dilution
Metrics are mathematically derived from official filings.
Balance Sheet Stable Despite Shrinking Liquidity
Based on reported figures, Fastly's total assets held near $1.5B across ten quarters while cash fell from $286.2M in 2024Q4 to $113.5M in 2026Q3, suggesting the balance sheet is stable in size but drifting toward thinner liquidity cushions.
The asset base has been essentially static, with goodwill of $670.4M unchanged and net PPE rising from roughly $153.8M to $293.6M over the period. This implies recent capital spending has been directed toward network infrastructure rather than acquisitions. The decline in cash, however, suggests the company is funding operations and capex from its balance rather than fully from generated cash flow, which warrants monitoring.
Moderate Leverage Stable Near 0.4x
As reported in financial statements, Fastly's total debt of $410.5M against equity of $1.0B yields a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.41, which has held in a narrow 0.40 to 0.46 band across the period shown.
Debt has remained roughly flat around $400M to $430M, indicating the company has not materially increased borrowing to fund growth. A stable leverage ratio paired with a declining cash balance means net debt has widened modestly, which may limit flexibility if operating cash generation weakens. Refinancing risk appears manageable on the reported figures, but the lack of deleveraging keeps the debt load a persistent consideration.
Current Ratio Compressed From Prior Peak
According to recent SEC filings, Fastly's current ratio moved from 4.21 in 2024Q4 to 3.07 in 2026Q3, with cash covering a smaller share of current liabilities as the cash balance declined.
The current ratio remains well above 1.0, so near-term obligations do not appear to pressure solvency. However, the trend from 4.21 toward 3.07, combined with cash falling to $113.5M against $540.4M of total liabilities, suggests the liquidity buffer is narrowing. Investors should watch whether cash stabilizes as operating cash flow continues to improve.
Retained Deficit Persists Despite Positive Cash Flow
Based on reported figures, Fastly's retained earnings remain deeply negative at roughly -$1.2B, and equity has been rebuilt from $957.0M to $1.0B largely through capital contributed rather than earnings.
The accumulated deficit reflects years of GAAP losses, and equity growth in the period appears driven by paid-in capital, which is consistent with stock-based compensation being a large component of operating costs. This suggests shareholder dilution is an ongoing economic cost, not merely an accounting item. The equity base is therefore supported by issuance rather than profitability.
Cash Recovery May Mask Ongoing Dilution
Based on reported figures, the company's improving balance sheet signals may partly reflect equity-based compensation, as stock-based compensation of $34.9M in 2026Q3 exceeded that quarter's free cash flow of $25.2M.
Headline improvements in cash generation can look more durable than they are when equity-based pay substitutes for cash expense. The deferred revenue balance, which fell from $46.6M in 2026Q1 to $33.3M in 2026Q3, adds caution around forward visibility. Investors should evaluate whether cash strength is sustained independent of ongoing share issuance.
