Why Are CrowdStrike Shares Trading Lower Today?

  • BTIG analyst Gray Powell downgraded CrowdStrike Holdings CRWD to Neutral from Buy without a price target.
  • Channel checks indicate that competition "is on the rise" and that tailwinds to CrowdStrike's growth in 2022 will prevail downtick from 2021, Powell notes. 
  • As such, the analyst thinks the company's annual recurring revenue growth will likely moderate into the 40% - 45% range in a fiscal 2023 "upside scenario." 
  • Powell infers investors "will be faced with the difficult task of gauging the slope of a deceleration and sustainable long-term growth rates over the next 6 -12 months." 
  • He now thinks the stock's risk/reward favors a Neutral rating.
  • Price Action: CRWD shares traded lower by 3.33% at $272.65 in the market session on the last check Monday.
