CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) will report earnings in about a month, amidst a busy week for corporate earnings. The cybersecurity giant’s stock is up 37.6% in 2025, recovering from a software glitch-related outage.

CRWD stock has surged over 50% since March and 83% in the last 12 months, almost doubling its post-outage loss. Trading at 28x price-to-sales, the stock is at a premium. However, the high demand for cybersecurity could justify this premium.

CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform features AI-powered cybersecurity tools like Charlotte AI and Threat Graph engine. The company’s AI-native platform appeals to customers looking for intelligent, easy-to-use solutions, with AI deeply embedded from inception.

AI has accelerated cyberattacks, making cybersecurity more complex. CrowdStrike excels with its cloud-native design and AI integration, generating record net new annual recurring revenue. The company is winning clients from legacy competitors, showcasing its competitive advantage.

CRWD stock is down 5.5% in the last 30 days but has shown a reversal recently. Investors may want to wait for earnings before considering a bullish position. Rising implied volatility suggests post-earnings movement, with interest in higher-strike calls indicating speculative bets on a potential breakout.
