    Should CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) Look Fully Valued Following Its Blowout Quarter?

    Simply Wall St·09/09/2026 10:20:43
    Listen to the news

    CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) just delivered a strong quarter, with management lifting full year revenue and earnings guidance while highlighting rapid take up of its flexible billing model and AI centric security products.

    That flurry of AI focused product launches and partnerships at Fal.Con has come against a powerful run in CrowdStrike Holdings’ stock, with the share price up 29.69% over the past 90 days and an 85.21% year to date share price return feeding into a 1 year total shareholder return of 98.36% and a 3 year total shareholder return of nearly 4x, although the recent 7 day share price return of 2.35% suggests some near term enthusiasm has cooled even as longer term momentum remains firmly intact.

    CrowdStrike Holdings now trades below the average analyst price target despite a powerful run this year. Recent estimate cuts hint at market caution. Is that discount a genuine margin of safety or a warning sign?

    Most Popular Narrative: 9% Overvalued

    CrowdStrike Holdings closed at $210.02 compared to a narrative fair value of about $193.13. This frames the recent pullback as a valuation reset rather than a collapse.

    The analysts have a consensus price target of $193.13 for CrowdStrike Holdings based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors.

    In order for you to agree with the analysts, you'd need to believe that by 2029, revenues will be $9.3 billion, earnings will come to $884.6 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 295.4x, assuming you use a discount rate of 8.4%.
