CrowdStrike's outage could mean billions in financial losses for Fortune 500 companies. Delta Air Lines may seek damages from CrowdStrike as it incurred nearly $500 million in losses due to the outage.
CrowdStrike's stock plummeted after it caused millions of devices to crash. Investors have no clue how this is affecting CrowdStrike's business.
CrowdStrike Holdings' stock dropped last month after a major computer outage was triggered by its security update causing Windows devices to malfunction. While the product itself is not to blame, the security update process needs to be reviewed and it is likely for the company to sustain damages and be volatile. After accounting for a potential $1 billion free cash flow impact, I have a bullish position using a DCF model to value the stock.
CrowdStrike's stock price is down by roughly 35% over the past three weeks as a result of the IT outage. Even at a price level of $220 per share CRWD is still not attractive when you factor in potential lawsuits and client losses. Even with a 20% free cash flow CAGR my DCF yield an implied share price of $197, which represents a 7% for the current price.
The recent Microsoft outage, triggered by updates in CrowdStrike's software, was a major black swan event for CRWD investors, causing the stock to crash by nearly 40%. There are compelling reasons to believe that this outage was a once-in-a-century event, making it extremely unlikely to occur again. If we assume the outage won't happen again, CrowdStrike becomes a no-brainer investment, now very attractively valued after the post-outage selloff.
