Movement Alert|CrowdStrike Falls 3.24% in Regular Trading, Barclays Slashes Target Price to $169

Market Focus07-07 22:41

On July 7, CrowdStrike fell 3.24% in regular trading, trading at $197.34/share, with turnover of $5.07 billion. The decline was primarily triggered by Barclays Bank dramatically cutting its price target on CrowdStrike from $675 to $169, representing a 75% reduction and implying approximately 14% further downside from the current level.

The aggressive target cut significantly weighed on market sentiment. Morgan Stanley also marginally lowered its price target from $172.50 to $172. According to FactSet, the average analyst rating remains overweight with a mean target of $183.21. The bearish pressure comes amid lingering concerns over the company's Q1 net new ARR growth falling short of elevated market expectations, despite an overall earnings beat and a 1-for-4 stock split announcement. Additionally, director Denis O'Leary recently reduced holdings by approximately 18,955 shares, adding to short-term sentiment headwinds.

Within the Systems Software sector, weakness was broad-based, with Oracle down 4.09%, Palo Alto Networks down 2.52%, and NEBIUS down 8.22%, while Microsoft rose 1.66% and ServiceNow gained 2.1%.
