DraftKings, Cloudflare and Affirm Report Earnings Above Analyst Estimates

The results show all three companies exceeded consensus forecasts on both earnings per share and revenue, based on the figures provided in the market update.

Fact Check
The core claim that DraftKings, Cloudflare, and Affirm all reported earnings above analyst estimates on both EPS and revenue is well-supported. DraftKings (DKNG) Q1 2026 EPS beat is confirmed by public.com ($0.20 actual vs. $0.16 estimate). Cloudflare (NET) Q1 2026 EPS beat is confirmed by public.com ($0.25 actual vs. $0.17 estimate). The X post by @unusual_whales provides the specific table of figures for all three companies. For Affirm, a primary earnings confirmation page was not retrieved in this run, but the stockstory.org source confirms a May 7 report date and a prior pattern of beats. Confidence is medium rather than high because: (1) Affirm's specific Q1 2026 figures ($0.30 EPS, $1.03B revenue) could not be independently verified from a non-social-media source; (2) minor discrepancies exist between the estimate figures in the X post and those on public.com (e.g., Cloudflare estimate $0.23 in post vs. $0.17 on public.com), likely reflecting different consensus aggregators or adjusted vs. GAAP metrics, but not contradicting the beat direction.
