CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) avoided the technology stock sell-off in early November but is now down 8% since Nov. 11. The stock is rallying near its 50-day SMA, but sentiment is uncertain about its direction ahead of the Dec. 2 earnings report for the 2026 fiscal year.

Analysts expect CrowdStrike to continue its strong revenue and earnings growth trend with projected EPS of 94 cents and revenue of $1.22 billion for the upcoming quarter. This would mark a 20% YOY beat on revenue and support the company’s free cash flow growth over the last few quarters.

The upcoming earnings report may confirm strong annual recurring revenue growth and a long-term potential in AI-driven cybersecurity for CrowdStrike. While EPS expectations are modest, some analysts are forecasting stronger results, with a “whisper number” reaching as high as $1.07.

CRWD stock is currently pulling back ahead of earnings, but bullish price targets from analysts suggest confidence in a positive earnings report. Despite recent weakness, the overall bullish trend for CRWD stock, driven by strong cybersecurity demand and the company’s AI capabilities, remains intact for the long term.
