CrowdStrike (CRWD) Plunges 3.15% on Weak Guidance

On August 28, 2025, CrowdStrike Holdings experienced a 3.15% drop in pre-market trading, reflecting investor concerns over the company's recent financial outlook.

CrowdStrike's second-quarter earnings report, released on August 27, 2025, showed a net loss of $77.65 million, or $0.31 per share, compared to a net income of $46.69 million, or $0.19 per share, in the same period last year. This significant shift in profitability has raised eyebrows among investors, who are now closely monitoring the company's financial health.

Despite reporting better-than-expected revenue for the second quarter, with sales up 21.3% year over year to $1.17 billion, the company's weak forward guidance has overshadowed these positive results. CrowdStrike's forecast for the third quarter, estimating revenue between $1.208 billion and $1.218 billion, has fallen short of market expectations, contributing to the stock's decline.

The company's quarterly revenue outlook, which includes a projection of weak quarterly revenue, has further dampened investor sentiment. This outlook, combined with the reported net loss, has led to a nearly 3% drop in the company's shares in extended trading, highlighting the market's concern over CrowdStrike's future performance.
