Movement Alert|CrowdStrike Falls 4.65% in Regular Trading, Peer Zscaler Plunges Over 26% Dragging Down Cybersecurity Sector

Market Focus21:38

On May 27, CrowdStrike declined 4.65% in regular trading, trading at $654.09/share, with trading volume of $362 million. The decline was driven by severe sector-wide pressure after cybersecurity peer Zscaler plunged over 26% during the session, heavily weighing on overall industry sentiment.

As a leading name in the cybersecurity space, CrowdStrike was notably dragged lower despite receiving a bullish catalyst the same day — Wedbush raised its target price from $550 to $700 while maintaining an Outperform rating. However, the positive note failed to offset broad-based selling pressure across the Systems Software sector. Within the sector, Microsoft fell 0.87%, Oracle dropped 2.08%, and NEBIUS declined 3.39%, while ServiceNow bucked the trend with a 1.77% gain.

Notably, CrowdStrike had been on an upward trajectory in prior sessions, supported by a wave of institutional upgrades from Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, KeyBanc, RBC, and others, with multiple firms setting $700 target prices.
