Price Performance
Growth Potential
- AI-native Falcon platform (a unified, cloud-native cybersecurity platform built on AI and behavioral analytics) and data advantage with CRWD having accumulated >2 trillion security events per day, providing one of the richest datasets in cybersecurity. Falcon platform is the best for training security agents as not all data is created equal. CRWD's position at the endpoint gives them access to a trove of high fidelity data, CRWD has a large repository of labeled data from Falcon Complete MDR, CRWD has an extensive threat intelligence database and CRWD's professional services business allows the company to best understand how breaches occur firsthand.
- Large + expanding TAM with global cybersecurity TAM projected to exceed $250bn by 2027 with endpoint, identity, and cloud segments growing fastest. Management expects CRWD’s addressable market (driven by platform expansion) to reach $140bn by 2026.
- Consolidation tailwind - enterprises are increasingly consolidating vendors to simplify security stacks and reduce costs with CRWD’s single-agent architecture and broad module suite making it a natural beneficiary.
- Competitive moat – CRWD’s solutions consistently rank 1 or 2 in Gartner and Forrester evaluations for endpoint and cloud workload protection. CRWD’s low churn (gross retention >98%) and net retention rate consistently above 115% reflect the strong product suite and provides strong cross-sell + upsell opportunities.
- Platform and module expansion beyond core endpoint protection into cloud security, identity protection, SIEM/logs etc. (modular platform of over 26 modules allows cross-selling across security domains) leading to greater wallet share (growth in ARR per customer) and lower churn.
- Secular tailwind of increasing AI threats (as enterprises adopt AI new attack vectors emerge like AI agents, prompt injections and model threats).
- High margin profile and strong FCF generation (management forecast non-GAAP operating margins of >24% and FCF margins >30% by FY27) along with balance sheet strength (~$5bn cash + investments) provide flexibility for M&A and R&D.
Key Risks
- Intensifying competition from Microsoft (Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel) and Palo Alto Networks.
- Potential enterprise budget tightening in macro slowdowns.
- Regulatory and data privacy risk.
