Earnings Impact: On Tuesday, the company reported its earnings, registering a bigger net loss during the third quarter. GAAP net loss attributable to CrowdStrike stood at $55 million, compared to $50.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
The company said that annual recurring revenue (ARR) increased 54% year-over-year and grew to $2.34 billion as of October 31, 2022, of which $198.1 million was net new ARR added in the quarter.
George Kurtz, CrowdStrike’s co-founder and CEO, said total net new ARR was below expectations as increased macroeconomic headwinds elongated sales cycles with smaller customers and caused some larger customers to pursue multi-phase subscription start dates.
Shares of the company fell over 14% on Wednesday despite a Wall Street rally led by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s comments on the potential slowing of the rate hike pace.
Major Sale: ARK sold over 57,000 shares of Spotify Technology SA SPOT at an estimated valuation of over $4.5 million. Spotify shares closed over 5% on Wednesday.
