CrowdStrike Ends Six-Session Slide with 1.3% Gain

CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) closed up 1.30% to $475.94 on Friday, ending a six-session losing streak. The stock had entered the red on July 10 after CFRA downgraded it from Buy to Hold. The cybersecurity company's shares had been on a decline since then, but its latest gain trimmed its losses.

CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) ended the trading session on Friday, July 2, 2025, with a 1.30% gain, closing at $475.94. This marked the end of a six-session losing streak for the cybersecurity company, which had entered the red on July 10 after being downgraded from Buy to Hold by CFRA [3].

The stock's decline was largely attributed to valuation concerns. CFRA analysts noted that the stock's forward EV/S ratio of 24.4x was at a premium, and expectations for 2H FY 26 ARR acceleration were largely priced in [3]. Additionally, Morgan Stanley and Seeking Alpha analysts also downgraded the stock due to stretched valuation, contributing to its downward trajectory [3].

Despite the recent setbacks, CrowdStrike's long-term prospects remain strong. The company's Falcon platform, a cloud-native cybersecurity solution, is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for cybersecurity services. The platform's à la carte business model allows customers to purchase services tailored to their needs, contributing to strong revenue growth and high gross margins [3].

Investors should keep an eye on CrowdStrike's earnings report scheduled for August. The company's performance in the second quarter could provide further insights into its ability to navigate the current market conditions and maintain its leadership position in the cybersecurity industry [3].
