CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) is a leader in AI-driven endpoint and cloud workload protection. On February 24, TD Cowen analyst Shaul Eyal raised the firm’s price target on the stock to $450 from $380 and kept a “Buy” rating on the shares. The rating update follows earnings prints from Palo Alto Networks and CDW which showed positive signs for the first quarter.

Eyal has expressed optimism regarding the company’s first-quarter performance in fiscal year 2025, stating that he anticipates Crowdstrike to maintain strong net retention rates and revenue growth momentum. He further expects that the management will project the fiscal year 2026 revenue growth forecast slightly above the current market consensus of 19%, anticipating encouraging commentary related to clearer pipeline visibility. Eyal’s research also contends that the July 19 incident hasn’t altered customer opinions about the efficacy of the company’s AI-powered cybersecurity platform called Falcon.
