Where Will Confluent Stock Be in 3 Years?
It has been just under four years since Confluent (NASDAQ: CFLT) made its stock market debut in June 2021. A look at its stock price chart will show that investors in the data streaming specialist have endured a difficult time since November of that same year. Confluent stock was in fine form in 2021 following its initial public offering. However, like many other young tech stocks in late 2021, the stock price began a downhill run late in the year. Some of these stocks eventually recovered. In Confluent's case, the stock lost 46% of its value since its initial public offering (IPO) and 74% when compared to its all-time high. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Let's check why that has been the case and see if this cloud computing stock has the ability to regain its mojo and jump higher over the next three years. Confluent's expensive valuation has been the stock's undoing Confluent was trading at a whopping 37 times sales in 2021, which means that it needed to maintain high growth rates to justify its rich valuation. However, its sales growth rates have been dropping over the years, as we can see from the table below. Data source: Confluent quarterly reports. The reduction in Confluent's top-line growth is a big reason why the stock has fallen out of investors' favor. As a result, it is now trading at just under 8 times sales, which is lower than its five-year average price-to-sales ratio of 12. Another thing worth noting is that Confluent's sales multiple is now in line with the U.S. technology sector's average sales multiple. Buying Confluent at its current valuation could turn out to be a smart long-term move, as the company is now sitting on an added catalyst in the form of artificial intelligence (AI). Confluent's cloud-based data streaming platform is used by customers to bring data out of silos and connect it in real time to make decisions quickly. The company's platform finds applications in multiple areas such as inventory management, fraud detection, and customer service. It's now being applied in generative AI and agentic AI applications as well, as Confluent's platform allows customers to use relevant data in real time for training large language models (LLMs) and AI agents. As a result, Confluent is now winning a bigger share of customers' wallets, along with bringing new customers into its fold, which should set the company up for robust long-term growth. A massive addressable market points toward better times for the company Confluent now sees its addressable market exceeding $100 billion this year. That's double its estimated addressable market four years ago. Even better, the accelerated growth in its customer base suggests that it is well on track to capitalize on this massive opportunity. Confluent's overall customer base jumped by 20% year over year in the first quarter of 2025. That was a major improvement over the 9% year-over-year increase in its customer base in the year-ago period. Importantly, Confluent is gaining more business from its existing customers. This can be judged from the company's dollar-based net retention rate of 117%, a metric that compares its annual recurring revenue (ARR) from customers at the end of a quarter to the ARR from the same customer cohort in the year-ago period. So, an ARR of more than 100% suggests that existing customers are spending more money with Confluent. The higher spending by Confluent's older customers is also driving a solid bump in its margins. The company's non- GAAP operating margin increased by six percentage points year over year in Q1. This explains why the company's non-GAAP earnings increased by 60% from the year-ago period to $0.08 per share. The company has guided for $0.36 per share in earnings for 2025, which points toward a 24% increase from last year. However, don't be surprised to see Confluent doing better than that following the healthy increase in Q1, especially considering the pace at which it is adding new customers and encouraging existing ones to spend more money. Not surprisingly, analysts are forecasting an acceleration in Confluent's bottom-line growth over the next couple of years. Data by YCharts. The stronger growth in Confluent's earnings in 2026 and 2027 points toward better times for the stock over the next three years, as the market could reward this impressive bottom-line jump with healthy gains. As such, buying Confluent right now makes sense from a long-term point of view. The correction in the company's stock price since its IPO has made it a better buy, considering its lucrative end-market opportunity and bright prospects. Should you invest $1,000 in Confluent right now?

Defence spending boost can only go so far to lessen U.S. reliance: experts
MONTREAL – In early 2002, Glenn Cowan touched down in Kandahar province as part of the first wave of regular Canadian Army troops deployed to Afghanistan, serving in a U.S.-led brigade combat team. After joining Canada's elite special operations unit Joint Task Force 2 in 2003, he spent the next 13 years collaborating with American soldiers on raids, rescues and reconnaissance missions. 'If you're going to get into a fight with someone, you want the Americans on your side,' said Cowan, founder of ONE9. His Ottawa-based venture capital firm focuses on national security investments. The same might be said of the gear Canadian troops use, and the industry behind it. An infusion of fresh defence funding is poised to flood parts of Canada's aerospace, manufacturing and information technology sectors in a bid to reduce reliance on the United States, but experts say this country will remain firmly fastened to its neighbour as a military-industrial partner by necessity. While not a military powerhouse, Canada has expertise in areas ranging from flight simulation and shipbuilding to armoured vehicles and artificial intelligence. The $9.3-billion in additional defence spending announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday is poised to boost those sectors, with the goal of greater procurement from domestic companies. 'We're too reliant on the United States,' Carney said. 'We will ensure that every dollar is invested wisely, including by prioritizing made-in-Canada manufacturing and supply chains. We should no longer send three-quarters of our defence capital spending to America.' But a massive cash injection means Canada will have to scale up fast, including via foreign suppliers, said Jim Kilpatrick, in charge of global supply chain and network operations at Deloitte. 'Defence supply chains can often go 10 or 11 tiers deep,' he said, stressing their complex international reach. 'Canada will not be self-sufficient in defence products required by our military.' The country's relatively small production capacity means it will continue to shell out money on American equipment, technology and aircraft, including 88 U.S.-built F-35 fighter jets at a cost of tens of billions of dollars, experts say. However, some of that spending will go to American military giants that have a big presence on Canadian soil, even if the profits end up in pockets south of the border. General Dynamics churns out light armoured vehicles bristelling with turreted mortars and assault guns in London, Ont., as well as tactical communications systems in Ottawa. Lockheed Martin works on 'advanced technology systems' such as naval command software in five provinces. Defence contractor Raytheon counts 8,500 employees and 2,500 suppliers in Canada. 'The wider Canadian economy features a lot of branch plants,' noted David Perry, CEO of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute. While high-tech weapons and machinery come to mind at the mention of defence procurement, much of the extra funding this year may well go to more mundane items. Housing and infrastructure upgrades for Canadian troops make up some of the biggest priorities for Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan, she told Quebec radio host Patrick Lagacé on Thursday. Perry also highlighted the ripple effects of that spending for myriad business types beyond the purely military realm. 'Some of it is done through the big stuff — we think about fighter jets. But a lot of it pays for office furniture, software licenses, electricity contracts, snow removal, grass cutting.' Taking a step back, Perry framed defence investment in terms the prime minister, formerly the head of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, could appreciate. 'If you think of our defence relationships as an investment portfolio, the PM is saying we're way over-indexed in the Dow Jones and the S&P,' he said. 'Diversify.'

Canadian premiers turn to New England governors for support on Trump tariffs
FREDERICTON – A group of Canadian premiers appear to be setting high expectations as they pursue negotiations with American governors to mitigate the impacts of United States-imposed tariffs on their economies. Premiers from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, and Quebec's economic minister are scheduled to meet with New England governors on Monday in Boston. New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt said the premiers look to the New England governors for insights on how to deal with the White House and U.S. President Donald Trump. 'I mean, ideally, what we would get is every governor … agreeing to articulate in loud and formal terms their objection to the tariffs to their administration,' Holt told reporters Thursday. 'If we can get everyone agreeing that the tariffs are negatively impacting Americans and passing that message on to the White House, that would be a win.' Holt also said she plans on raising 'critical' energy and infrastructure files. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said last month that the leaders hope to discuss how they can work together and maintain economic relationships in the face of Trump's tariffs. 'Canada is Massachusetts' No. 1 trading partner,' she said in a May 5 statement. 'For generations, we have enjoyed a strong partnership and a healthy exchange of energy, lumber, dairy, cars and car parts, seafood and more. Our businesses and our residents all benefit from this relationship. But President Trump's tariffs are undermining this partnership, making it harder for businesses to keep their doors open, and increasing the cost of everything that the New England and Canadian people rely on.' Holt said New Brunswick supplies a lot of energy products to New England. 'I think 90 per cent of the cars in Boston are driving with gas that comes from the Irving refinery and us. They are keen to make sure we will continue to be a reliable supplier of energy to them,' she said. 'We see the U.S. as a market to sell energy in a way that is profitable and beneficial to New Brunswick.' Healey said an analysis showed that tariffs on Canadian energy would raise gas and heating oil prices by over 30 cents a gallon and could cost nearly $1.4 billion a year for people in Massachusetts, and $3.4 billion for those in the New England area. Ontario is also looking to discuss energy and minerals with the U.S., said Grace Lee, spokeswoman for Premier Doug Ford. 'Ontario is proud to have one of the cleanest and most reliable energy grids, alongside mineral rich areas ready for development and a highly skilled workforce that the U.S. needs and relies on,' she said in a statement. 'Premier Ford will advocate for his vision of Fortress Am-Can, a renewed strategic alliance that makes Canada and the U.S. the richest, most prosperous, safest and most secure two countries on the planet.' Prince Edward Island Premier Rob Lantz's office did not respond to a request for comment. Léa Fortin, spokeswoman for Quebec's economic minister Christopher Skeete, said the meeting is a chance to reiterate ties between Quebec and the United States, as well as the Atlantic provinces. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Sonja Pomeroy, spokeswoman for Premier John Hogan said Newfoundland and Labrador exported approximately $4.5 billion of goods to the United States in 2023, representing 37 per cent of the province's total exports. For example, she said in any given year, 60 to 80 per cent of Newfoundland and Labrador's seafood exports go to the United States. So the meeting is an opportunity to reinforce the social and economic value of Canada's long relationship with the United States, she explained. 'Barriers to trade are bad for both national economies,' Pomeroy said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 13, 2025.
