CrowdStrike Stock Is Ripping Higher Tuesday: Here's Why
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:CRWD) stock is experiencing an uptick due to an upgrade from Morgan Stanley. Analyst Hamza Fodderwala changed the rating from Equal-Weight to Overweight and increased the price target from $203 to $304. The upgrade is based on expectations of improved demand, platform traction, and new AI product cycles, which are anticipated to contribute to higher annual recurring revenue and free cash flow in 2024. Despite a 185% rally in the past year, further growth is expected due to these factors. CrowdStrike's forward P/E ratio is 71.43, above the peer average of 58.64, and it has shown an average annual revenue growth of 74.58% over the past 5 years.
