Despite a historic mishap, CrowdStrike's business remains strong. I'll go ahead and say what everyone is thinking: Causing the largest global IT outage in history is bad. Unfortunately, that's what CrowdStrike (CRWD -3.85%) did on July 19, and its stock has taken a huge hit because of it. Since hitting a peak on July 8, CrowdStrike's stock is down close to 30% (as of Aug. 30). That's bad news for investors with shares before then, but it's an opportunity for people looking to begin or increase a stake in th ...

Core Viewpoint - The impact of the July 19 outage on CrowdStrike's business is less severe than initially feared, with the company showing resilience in its financial performance and customer retention [1][2][10]. Group 1: Incident Overview - On July 19, a software update malfunction caused approximately 8.5 million Windows-based computers to crash, resulting in an estimated loss of $5.4 billion for CrowdStrike's largest customers [1]. - Following the incident, CrowdStrike's stock fell 36% to a low of $218, but rebounded with a 20% gain in August as the fallout was less damaging than anticipated [2]. Group 2: Financial Performance - CrowdStrike reported Q2 revenue of $963.9 million, a 32% increase year-over-year, exceeding management's forecast, indicating minimal financial impact from the outage [9]. - The company's fiscal 2025 revenue guidance was revised down by only 2.5% to $3.9 billion, still representing a 27.5% growth from fiscal 2024 [10]. Group 3: Customer Contracts and Market Position - CEO George Kurtz indicated that many customer contracts would be delayed rather than canceled, suggesting that most potential customers remain interested despite the incident [11]. - CrowdStrike aims to reach $10 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR) by fiscal 2031, with a current ARR of $3.86 billion, indicating a target growth of 159% over the next six years [12]. Group 4: Competitive Landscape and Valuation - CrowdStrike's stock trades at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of around 19, down from nearly 30 in July, but still higher than its main competitor, Palo Alto Networks, which has a P/S ratio of 15.9 [14]. - The company justifies its premium P/S ratio due to a 32% revenue growth in the recent quarter compared to Palo Alto's 12% [14].

DNY59 In my last analysis of CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD), I assessed the company following its faulty sensor update, which crashed 8.5M devices, leading to a ~30% stock decline. Since that analysis, it has increased by 2.62% in price, showing resilience after the fall. In Q2 results, it beat its top-line and bottom-line estimates. The company has announced a strategic partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE), and while lowering its full-year guidance due to the July crisis, I believe management is l ...

CrowdStrike faces numerous legal challenges from the glitch that caused a global tech outage. While the $500 million suit filed by Delta Air Lines is the most high-profile of these cases, a report Monday (Sept. 2) by TechCrunch said this could be one of several court cases facing the cybersecurity firm. Rob Wilkins, co-chair of the complex litigation and dispute resolution practice group for Florida law firm Jones Foster, tells the news outlet that CrowdStrike faces a "daunting" legal challenge, one that co ...

When the now infamous CrowdStrike software update took down companies all over the world in July, it was inevitable that lawsuits would follow — and follow they have. Delta suing the company for as much as $500 million in damages and hiring lawyer David Boies is perhaps the highest-profile example. Among Boies' wide range of high-profile clients are Theranos, Harvey Weinstein, victims of Jeffrey Epstein, and Al Gore in Bush v. Gore around the results of the 2000 presidential election. He also led the govern ...
