Street Calls of the Week
Investing.com - Guggenheim has reiterated its Neutral rating on CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD), currently trading near $445, following the company’s Fal.Con Conference and Analyst Day held this week in Las Vegas. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears overvalued despite its impressive 67% return over the past year.

The company also extended its long-term outlook, projecting ARR to reach $20 billion in FY36, building upon its previously announced target of $10 billion in FY31.
The event featured extensive discussion about artificial intelligence applications, which Guggenheim described as "more believable than much of what we hear with reasonable assumptions." Management also expressed enthusiasm about early traction with their Flex go-to-market strategy, which Guggenheim noted has been adopted across the industry.
