MIXED
On Nov 5, CrowdStrike shares fell 10 % as investors unwound the broader AI trade, a decline that was not driven by any new company‑specific catalyst. The drop mirrored a sector‑wide selloff that also hit Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler and Cloudflare, and the company’s forward P/E remained high while earnings estimates were only modestly raised, indicating a sentiment‑driven reaction rather than a fundamental shift. Earlier that same day, the company announced the acquisition of two AI‑security startups for a combined $495 million, expanding its AI‑agent security capabilities, but analysts noted that the premium paid may already be priced into the stock, tempering enthusiasm for immediate upside. Despite the selloff, Dan Ives maintained a bullish rating on CrowdStrike, citing the newly launched AI kill‑switch feature as a competitive advantage that could enhance the firm’s threat‑intelligence offerings. The analyst suggested that the dip in tech stocks presents a buying opportunity, reflecting confidence in the company’s product pipeline and market positioning. The market reaction to the AI trade unwind was seen as a mild headwind, with no material change in the company’s outlook reported.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into CRWD?

CHEAP

At today's price, CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about -18.9% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 11.20% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at 34.5% a year, so the market is asking for 53.4 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis CRWD looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
52%

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. is currently running 61.0% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CRWD's own 7 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 71st percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 48.5%.

CRWD is trading -15.9% below its running peak. Across 7 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -33.1%, and the deepest was -58.3% in 2022. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +38.4% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 75th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year CRWD closed higher on 52% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a falling streak.

On November specifically: over 7 years of records, CRWD finished the month higher 4 of 7 times, with a median return of +14.3% and an average of +5.4%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +16.0% on average, its weakest October at -0.6%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: CRWD has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 102 of 1,862 sessions (5.5% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.5% and -10.4%.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, CRWD moved an average of 7.0% in the session after earnings, closing higher 3 of those 3 times, with a median move of +7.6% and a largest of +8.8%.

All figures computed from 1,863 daily closes between 2019-06-12 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CRWD's own 7-year history, not a peer group or index.
