CrowdStrike Tops Q2 Estimates With Strong ARR Growth, But 2025 Guidance Falls Short

CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD) delivered stronger-than-expected second-quarter results, driving its stock up 8% intra-day today.

The cybersecurity company reported earnings per share of $1.04, surpassing Street expectations of $0.97. Revenue for the quarter came in at $963.9 million, exceeding the consensus forecast of $958.32 million and reflecting a 32% year-over-year increase.

CrowdStrike's Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) also saw a 32% year-over-year growth, reaching $3.86 billion, with $217.6 million in net new ARR added during the quarter. Subscription revenue, which makes up the majority of the company's earnings, increased by 33% year-over-year to $918.3 million.

Despite the strong quarterly results, CrowdStrike's full-year guidance fell short of analyst expectations. The company projects 2025 adjusted EPS between $3.61 and $3.65, below the Street of $3.88, and revenue between $3.89 billion and $3.9 billion, missing the $3.95 billion analyst estimate.
