CrowdStrike's fundamentals have improved, even as the stock has declined in recent months, providing investors with an attractive entry point.
Essex considers CrowdStrike as well-positioned in the sweet spot of demand ahead of the accelerating deterioration of the threat environment, with Endpoint expected to remain a top CIO priority within Security.
Essex also observes that CrowdStrike improved its execution, and the global threat environment remains elevated, with concerns over the Russian invasion of Ukraine "driving even greater levels of demand."
Price Action: CRWD shares traded higher by 5.26% at $228.00 on the last check Tuesday.
