We are maintaining our $300 fair value estimate for narrow-moat CrowdStrike after the firm reported strong second-quarter results that were offset by the firm lowering its sales and profitability outlook for the second half of fiscal 2025. Despite an impactful outage of CrowdStrike’s Falcon Platform in July, we believe the firm is poised to move forward successfully.
CrowdStrike has strong secular tailwinds given that the endpoint, cloud, identity, and security operations markets are projected to grow rapidly
Large public cloud vendors often offer their own cybersecurity solutions, which could hamper CrowdStrike’s growth opportunities.
