Informed decisions
The stock is undoubtedly one to watch during the COVID-19 pandemic, but its reliance on TikTok, its largest customer, raises some concerns. If the deal between TikTok, Walmart and Oracle to form the new entity TikTok Global can't be finalized, then we can expect more downside for Fastly Inc. But the opposite is also true if the deal gets done and the Trump administration is satisfied then we might expect Fastly Inc. to move higher.
