CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD) reported strong third-quarter results and raised its annual forecast, driven by increased demand for its cybersecurity solutions amid the rise of AI-fueled online threats. Despite the positive performance, the company’s shares dropped over 3% in pre-market today due to underwhelming fourth-quarter revenue guidance.
In the third quarter, CrowdStrike achieved revenue growth of 29%, reaching $1.01 billion and surpassing analyst expectations of $982 million. Adjusted profit per share came in at $0.93, well above the forecasted $0.81. The company also crossed $4 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR), a milestone that reinforced its leadership in the cybersecurity sector.
For the fourth quarter, CrowdStrike projected revenue between $1.03 billion and $1.04 billion, aligning closely with the consensus estimate of $1.03 billion but failing to excite investors. However, the company raised its annual adjusted earnings outlook, now expecting profit per share in the range of $3.74 to $3.76, up from the prior guidance of $3.61 to $3.65.
