Why Is CrowdStrike Stock Down 30% Over The Last 3 Months?
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), a cybersecurity company, has seen its stock price decline by roughly 30% over the last 3 months. While investors have been somewhat circumspect about cloud software stocks and other growth stocks in recent months on account of a possibility of an economic slowdown, the concerns may have been more pronounced for CrowdStrike, which is one of the priciest stocks in the cloud software space. The company currently trades at over 28x projected 2020 revenues. Moreover, analysts have also been somewhat mixed on the stock, considering its high valuation. There is a possibility that the stock could face some more selling pressure, as its IPO lock-up period is set to end in early December.
We ‘step back’ from these recent swings to review CrowdStrike’s performance over the last few years, as a context for what might come next. Our Interactive dashboard, Why Has CrowdStrike Stock Been Trending Lower? reviews the near term reasons and the big picture.
