Analysts are impressed with the financial results and company commentary from CrowdStrike Holdings Inc CRWD beating revenue and earnings per share estimates in the second quarter.
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 29, 2024 / The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, reminds investors of a class action lawsuit against CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. ("CrowdStrike" or "the Company") for violations of 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors who purchased the Company's securities between November 29, 2023 and July 29, 2024, inclusive (the "Class Period"), are encouraged to contact the firm before September 30, 2024.
It's the cybersecurity sector's turn to take the spotlight after earnings.
There aren't too many opportunities to buy a stock at a discount after recent drama and volatility, but the market offers such low-hanging fruit every once in a while. Most recently, an outage fixed within 48 hours brought shares of CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. NASDAQ: CRWD lower by over 40% in a couple of weeks.
CrowdStrike's Q2 results show the benefits of strong adoption of the Falcon platform. However, the stock is likely to be weighed down by lowered FY25 guidance.
Cybersecurity stocks for your September 2024 watchlist.
I am downgrading CrowdStrike stock from a "buy" to a "hold" as I believe the stock provides little margin of safety as the management slashes its FY25 revenue and earnings guidance. Although the company beat on both revenue and earnings in Q2 with strong product adoption rates, management warned of elongated sales cycles since the July 19th global outage event. With management expecting headwinds to Net New ARR and renewal rates, it also did not provide its customer count for $100K+ ARR, which is concerning.
Buying best-in-class stocks is never cheap, and CrowdStrike stock is no exception.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 29, 2024 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC, a nationally recognized law firm, notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. ("CrowdStrike" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:CRWD) and certain of its officers. Class Definition This lawsuit seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired CrowdStrike securities between November 29, 2023, and July 29, 2024, inclusive (the "Class Period").
CrowdStrike's guidance revision and profitability concerns lead me to downgrade the stock, favoring SentinelOne for its faster growth and better risk-reward profile. Despite strong Q2 results, a significant IT outage and competitive pressures have impacted CrowdStrike's near-term sales and growth prospects. CrowdStrike's revised revenue growth rate of 28% y/y and high valuation at 49x forward non-GAAP income make it less compelling.
Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:CRWD) has reduced its revenue and profit forecasts following a global outage in July caused by a faulty software update. Affecting internet services for 8.5 million Microsoft Windows devices, it led to widespread flight cancellations, while many organisations and businesses were also hit.
