Expectations from CrowdStrike

The Street expects CRWD to post adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.10, up from $1.03 reported last year. Sales are forecast to jump 22.6% year-over-year to $1.30 billion.

For CrowdStrike, Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) stands out as the vital KPI, highlighting customer retention and the company’s ability to generate steady cash flow.

Unfortunately, CRWD stock has dropped nearly 21% year-to-date due to fears that AI is disrupting cybersecurity mainly on the back of Anthropic’s new security tool in its Claude model.

Why Subscription ARR Matters for CRWD

Subscription ARR is vital for CrowdStrike because it measures the value of its high‑margin Falcon platform subscriptions, which account for about 95% of revenue, and it also forecasts growth via net new ARR and customer expansions.

Subscription ARR surged 23% year-over-year to $4.92 billion with record net new ARR, indicating strong customer retention, upsells via Falcon Flex, and demand, directly forecasting revenue and cash flow stability. Investors should note the potential for accelerated ARR growth in the second half of fiscal 2026, driven by global expansion and high subscription gross margins.

Is CRWD a Good Stock to Buy Now?

Analysts remain divided about CrowdStrike’s long-term outlook. On TipRanks, CRWD has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 24 Buys and 11 Hold ratings. The average CrowdStrike price target of $524.35 implies nearly 41% upside potential from current levels.
