CNBC surveyed analysts covering CrowdStrike (CRWD) and found consensus bearish ahead of Q2 earnings, with most rating the stock a hold or sell despite 55% YTD gains. The selloff reflects profit-taking after the recent endpoint-security rally and concerns that Q2 guidance will miss on deceleration in large-deal velocity.
Analysts suggest waiting for earnings and next-quarter commentary before re-entering CRWD. The consensus price target sits $380–$420 versus current ~$390, implying limited upside without clear forward catalysts on billings growth or cloud-adoption tailwinds.
