  • Action to take: As an early-stage company founded in 2011 and went public earlier this year, Fastly has yet to make a profit, so there’s little financial data to analyze. With shares trading under the IPO price, and with the company undergoing rapid growth to eventually reach profitability, it’s easy to see why a major fund holder would add to their stake.

    Given how shares have bounced around, investors would be best off looking for an entry point after a down day. Use a limit order to buy shares under $20. That ensures a reasonable price without chasing the shares higher.
