CrowdStrike Stock Falls as Earnings Forecast Disappoints
crowdstrike(Crust) On Tuesday, the company released earnings forecasts that failed to meet analysts’ expectations.

The cybersecurity company said it expects to adjust adjusted net income to $851.2 million to $883 million, or $3.33 to $3.33 to $3.45 per share, well below the analyst consensus of $1.1 billion, or $4.23 per share, summarized by the visible Alpha.

In the fourth quarter, CrowdStrike’s revenue rose 25% year-on-year to $1.06 billion, slightly higher than analysts’ estimates. Adjusted revenue was $260.9 million, or $1.03 per share, up from a year ago of $236.2 million or 95 cents a share and beat expectations.

“As businesses of all sizes quickly adopt AI, blocking violations requires an AI-only platform for cybersecurity,” CEO George Kurtz said in a press release.

CrowdStrike shares fell more than 6% in after-hours trading on Tuesday after the issuance. They have scored about 14% since the beginning of the year after hitting record highs last month.
