However, with the stock market seemingly going nowhere but down, shares gave up those gains and are back down 35% from their all-time highs.

Its customers spending over $1 million annually jumped 114% year over year in Q4, likely helped by the fact that one-third of its customers used four or more products at the end of Q4 2021, which grew from 22% in Q4 2020. This increased engagement and usage demonstrates the major long-term tailwinds at Datadog&#39;s back with the shift to cloud infrastructure.</p><p>Another growth opportunity that Datadog has in the future is expansion into the government sector.

These customers tend to have deep pockets, which means that Datadog&#39;s large customer pool could continue growing at a fast rate.</p><p>Datadog shares still trade at 38 times sales -- a high valuation, especially after the tech sell-off. Other high-growth cloud stocks like <b>Confluent</b> have slid much more: Confluent&#39;s price-to-sales multiple was in line with Datadog&#39;s in the months before the sell-off, and now its valuation has sunk to 22 times sales. However, that doesn&#39;t mean Datadog isn&#39;t worth buying today. As the cloud becomes more widespread, security and application performance monitoring will quickly become need-to-haves for businesses and government agencies, and with Datadog&#39;s leadership in the space, it will likely benefit immensely over the coming years.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c0305ac5f1b03c90f270a399dbb3eaa0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Democratizing financial services</h2><p><b>Trevor Jennewine (Block): </b>Traditionally, businesses that wanted to accept payment cards have worked with banks and other financial institutions to get the necessary hardware, software, and services. But those providers almost always bundle products from different companies, which means those systems can be difficult to implement and maintain, especially for smaller businesses that lack a sizable IT team. That&#39;s where Block can make a difference.</p><p>Its Seller ecosystem is a cohesive, self-service suite of hardware, software, and services, comprising all of the tools needed to manage a business across physical and digital channels. That includes everything from point-of-sale (POS) systems and payroll software to banking products like deposit accounts and loans. Not surprisingly, Block&#39;s comprehensive approach to commerce has translated into strong adoption. In fact, sellers using four or more Square products accounted for 38% of gross profit in 2021, up from just 10% in 2016.</p><p>Block&#39;s Cash App ecosystem is built with a similar focus on simplicity, only it&#39;s designed to help consumers manage their money. Cash App blends banking and brokerage services, allowing users to send, spend, and invest money, and file their taxes from a single mobile app. In 2021, monthly active users jumped 22% to 44 million, and more than 31% of those people now use the Cash Card (a debit card linked to the mobile app) on a monthly basis, up from 26% in 2020. That&#39;s noteworthy because Cash App users generate more gross profit with each additional product they adopt.</p><p>Last year, strength across both ecosystems helped Block turn in a solid financial performance. Gross profit soared 62% to $4.4 billion, and free cash flow hit $714 million, up from $35 million in 2020. Better yet, Block is well positioned to maintain that momentum. Mid-market sellers (at least $500,000 in annual sales) now account for 37% of gross payment volume, up from 17% in 2016, and that upmarket movement bodes well for the Square ecosystem, evidencing its growing importance in the commerce industry. At the same time, the Cash App ecosystem allows Block to monetize consumers through digital payments and brokerage services for stocks and <b>Bitcoin</b>, and both should be significant tailwinds for the company.</p><p>Currently, Block is down 63%, and the stock is trading at 2.9 times sales -- its cheapest valuation in the past three years. That&#39;s why now looks like a good time to buy a few shares.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Beaten-Down Growth Stocks to Buy Now and Hold for the Next Decade</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Beaten-Down Growth Stocks to Buy Now and Hold for the Next Decade\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-15 10:21 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/03/14/3-beaten-down-growth-stocks-buy-now-hold-decade/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Global stock markets are suffering through a period of uncertainty that kicked off in November 2021.

That's why now looks like a good time to buy a few shares.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":553,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9038781237,"gmtCreate":1646917882753,"gmtModify":1676534176720,"author":{"id":"3582060276042540","authorId":"3582060276042540","name":"Treesh79","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582060276042540","authorIdStr":"3582060276042540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9038781237","repostId":"1133495712","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133495712","pubTimestamp":1646917591,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1133495712?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-10 21:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood's Ark Is Now Completely Out Of Palantir — Selling Over 30 Million Shares In 1 Month","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133495712","media":"benzinga","summary":"Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management has shed all its holdings in Peter Thiel-backed Palantir T","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management has shed all its holdings in Peter Thiel-backed Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE: PLTR), marking one of the investment firm&#39;s swiftest exists from a stock it was bullish on just over a month ago.</p><p>Ark Invest on Wednesday sold the remaining five shares it held in Palantir via the Ark Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS: ARKX), daily trade data from the investment firm showed.</p><p>For perspective, Ark Invest at the start of February held over 30 million shares, in the data analytics company known for its work with government agencies.</p><p>The popular investment firm, known for holding bets in Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN), shed nearly all of its Palantir exposure in about 13 trades.</p><p>Ark Invest had been piling up Palantir stock for months prior to the selloff that began on Feb. 1, when it sold 3.2 million shares in a single trade.</p><p>It stepped up liquidating efforts after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings of two cents per share, below analyst expectations, sending its shares down 16%.</p><p>“We had some concerns about their (Palantir) competitive positioning within the government space and we had better risk money elsewhere,” Brett Winton, director of Research at Ark Invest, had said in an interview on a YouTube channel earlier this month.</p><p>“It&#39;s an interesting company .. the technology is super interesting and we&#39;re very bullish on AI generally.

Additionally, Russia's Foreign Ministry charged Meta and Google of \"inciting war\" and urged a system for accountability for the social media platforms as skirmishes between Russia and the companies wages on.  On Friday, investment firm Tigress Financial raised its price target on Google parent company Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), citing artificial intelligence as a way to drive progress at the tech giant.     5./15 WEST/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":117,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9032703826,"gmtCreate":1647437713131,"gmtModify":1676534229722,"author":{"id":"3582060276042540","authorId":"3582060276042540","name":"Treesh79","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582060276042540","authorIdStr":"3582060276042540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9032703826","repostId":"2219680737","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2219680737","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1647424800,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2219680737?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-16 18:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"INSIGHT-House Republicans who challenged Biden's win are losing lots of corporate cash","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2219680737","media":"Reuters","summary":"By Jason Lange and Andy Sullivan   WASHINGTON, March 16 (Reuters) - In the days after the Jan. 6, 20","content":"<html><body><p>By Jason Lange and Andy Sullivan</p><p>   WASHINGTON, March 16 (Reuters) - In the days after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, dozens of companies said they would suspend political donations to Republican lawmakers who had backed then-President Donald Trump's baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 election.</p><p>   More than <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> year later, Republicans in the House of Representatives who voted to challenge the election results have so far collected about half as much corporate cash as they did at this point in the previous election cycle, a Reuters analysis of campaign finance records shows.</p><p>   By contrast, corporate donations are up about 10% to House Republicans who voted to certify President Joe Biden's victory over Trump.</p><p>   The results indicate that the corporate boycott is not just limited to the dozens of companies that announced a halt to donations after the attack.

Donating to those lawmakers \"could really incite a bunch of their key stakeholders - like employees, suppliers, customers and so on,\" said Russell Crook, an expert on corporate political activity at the University of Tennessee.   Some announced boycotts, only to abandon them.   Walmart Inc   , which did not make any contributions in 2021 to the objectors, gave them $10,000 in January, split between McCarthy, Scalise and two others who voted against accepting the results.   Walmart spokesman Randy Hargrove said the company changed its stance because it felt it could better advocate for its interests \"by engaging with policymakers from both parties.\"   By contrast, many defense contractors, whose profits depend on spending decisions made in Congress, have continued their support of all Republicans, whether or not they challenged the election results.   Two of them - Boeing Co    and BAE Systems PLC    - actually increased their donations to those who voted to challenge the election.   Boeing did not respond to a request for comment and BAE declined to comment.   Rock Holdings Inc, the parent company of mortgage lender Rocket Mortgage, roughly doubled its contribution to objectors in 2021, to at least $97,000. The company did not respond to a request for comment.   Boeing, BAE and Rock also increased donations to those who did not object to the election result.   Some Republican lawmakers reacted angrily last year when corporate representatives told them they would not get their support, according to a Republican strategist who directs business donations to lawmakers.    But those tensions have eased in recent months as Republicans have grown more confident of victory and less interested in picking fights with possible allies, the strategist said, speaking on condition of anonymity.    <^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ GRAPHIC - Corporate cash       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^>(Reporting by Andy Sullivan and Jason Lange, editing by Ross Colvin and Rosalba O'Brien)((andy.sullivan@thomsonreuters.com; +1 202 421 5603;))","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":186,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9032147158,"gmtCreate":1647313760351,"gmtModify":1676534215693,"author":{"id":"3582060276042540","authorId":"3582060276042540","name":"Treesh79","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582060276042540","authorIdStr":"3582060276042540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9032147158","repostId":"2219273363","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2219273363","pubTimestamp":1647250681,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2219273363?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-14 17:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"CrowdStrike Stock: Poised For Meteoric Growth, Valuation Is Getting Better","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2219273363","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Milan_Jovic/E+ via Getty Images Cybersecurity is a growing necessity in our modern day digitally-con","content":"<html><body><p><figure><picture> <img height=\"1024px\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1363872158/image_1363872158.jpg?io=getty-c-w750\" srcset=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1363872158/image_1363872158.jpg?io=getty-c-w1536 1536w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1363872158/image_1363872158.jpg?io=getty-c-w1280 1280w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1363872158/image_1363872158.jpg?io=getty-c-w1080 1080w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1363872158/image_1363872158.jpg?io=getty-c-w750 750w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1363872158/image_1363872158.jpg?io=getty-c-w640 640w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1363872158/image_1363872158.jpg?io=getty-c-w480 480w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1363872158/image_1363872158.jpg?io=getty-c-w320 320w, https://static.seekingalpha.com/cdn/s3/uploads/getty_images/1363872158/image_1363872158.jpg?io=getty-c-w240 240w\" width=\"1536px\"/> </picture><figcaption> <p>Milan_Jovic/E+ via Getty Images</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>Cybersecurity is a growing necessity in our modern day digitally-connected world.

In this post, I’m going to dive into the platform, technology, financials, and valuation.</p> <h2>CrowdStrike's <strong>Cutting-Edge Technology</strong> </h2> <p>CrowdStrike offers a leading “Security Cloud\" software, which is on the Department of Homeland Securities approved products list.

Customers include Mercedes-AMG, Virgin Hyperloop, and Goldman Sachs <span>(NYSE:GS)</span>. CrowdStrike is expecting 16,325 subscription customers by the end of 2022, up a further 65% year over year.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"354\" hspace=\"6\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/13/55230498-16471677436978734.png\" vspace=\"6\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>CrowdStrike Customers <span>(Investor Presentation)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p><div></div> <h3><strong>Land and Expand Strategy</strong></h3> <p>CrowdStrike uses a “Land and Expand” strategy to win new enterprise customers. They offer a number of modules and “get their foot in the door” with just <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> or two modules, before easily upselling to more. The beauty of a cloud-based system is they can upsell in a very low friction way, additional cloud modules can easily be activated in real time. The firm also has a direct sales team which offers a very successful trial to pay model. In addition, partners can purchase through the AWS marketplace.</p> <p>Their strategy is working great so far as customers are not just growing, they are sticking around and spending more. A great way of measuring this in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies is via their net dollar retention rate, at CrowdStrike, this equates to above their 124% benchmark, which means the customers are staying and spending more. With 69% of their customers purchasing over 4 modules.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"340\" hspace=\"6\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/13/55230498-16471678098071582.png\" vspace=\"6\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>CrowdStrike retention <span>(Investor Presentation)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <h2><strong>High Growth Financials</strong></h2> <p>CrowdStrike smashed Wall Street expectations with annual recurring revenue (ARR) coming in at $1.73 billion, which is up an incredible 65% year-over-year, beating analyst expectations of $1.68 billion.</p> <p>The firm also reported an adjusted earnings of 30 cents per share for Q4 2021, equating to $431 million in revenue. This was above analyst expectations of 20 cents and $411 million in revenue. In addition, the company has just become free cash flow positive with a record $442 million for the year.</p> <p>As a software company, Gross margins are super high at 76%, but operating margins are negative as the firm invested heavily in R&amp;D and Sales. Thus, they have a GAAP loss from operations of -$142 million, compared with $92.5 million in the prior year. Personally, I think the R&amp;D and Sales investment is the right strategy, especially as the company is in such an early stage of growth. With $2 billion in cash and $738 million in long-term debt, the firm's balance sheet is fairly healthy, in the short term anyway.</p><div></div> <p><figure><span><img height=\"541\" hspace=\"6\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/13/55230498-1647167900668522.png\" vspace=\"6\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>Gross Margins <span>(Investor presentation)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <h3><strong>Is CRWD Stock Undervalued?</strong></h3> <p>In order to value CrowdStrike, I have plugged in the latest financials into my discounted cash flow model. I have estimated 60% growth for the next year and 50% for the next 2 to 5 years. In addition, I have predicted margins to expand to 23% as the firm's Sales and R&amp;D bets start to pay off.</p> <p><figure><span><img height=\"238\" hspace=\"6\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/13/55230498-16471679862414503.png\" vspace=\"6\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>Valuation Model <span>(Created by Author at Motivation 2 Invest)</span></p></figcaption></figure><figure><span><img height=\"575\" hspace=\"6\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/13/55230498-16471680324671173.png\" vspace=\"6\" width=\"640\"/></span><figcaption><p>CrowdStrike <span>(Valuation Model)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>From these estimates, I get a valuation of $181/share, the stock is trading at $190, and thus 4% overvalued at the time of writing. This shows investors have slightly more bullish estimates than my own predictions baked into the stock. These may come to fruition and the firm has a track record of high growth, however, I like to be conservative for valuation purposes, especially given the current market for growth stocks.</p><div></div> <p>Analyzing the stock's Price to Sales ratio (forward), it is looking “cheap” at PS = 20, relative to historical metrics, Price to Sales of over 50.</p> <p><figure><picture> <img height=\"433\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/13/55230498-16471680740653205.png\" width=\"635\"/> </picture><figcaption><p>CrowdStrike PS Ratio <span>(Author created)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>Comparing the Price to Sales ratio to other cybersecurity companies in the space, it’s more expensive than most, but it’s also growing faster than a lot of the other players on this list.</p> <p><figure><picture> <img height=\"484\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/13/55230498-16471681471091602.png\" width=\"635\"/> </picture><figcaption><p>Price to Sales Cybersecurity stocks <span>(Created by Author)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <h2><strong>Founder led</strong></h2> <p>The founder of CrowdStrike is George Kurtz and Dmitri Alperovitch. Kurtz is a veteran of the cybersecurity industry with over 29 years of experience. He was the former Chief Technology Officer at McAfee, CTO at GM, and founder of Foundstone in 1999, a worldwide security company. Kurtz owns 5.3% of the company and thus has “Skin in the Game”.</p> <p>I like to follow the investment strategy of investing into great tech founders who have Skin in the Game, this is the same strategy great investors such as former Hedge Fund Manager Nick Sleep used when investing 40% of his fund into Amazon <span>(NASDAQ:AMZN)</span> stock because of Bezos.</p> <h2><strong>Risks</strong></h2> <h3>Insider Selling</h3> <p>Despite the founder having “Skin in the Game”, I did notice a lot of Insider selling by him at $208 and other board members, in Q4 2021. This is not a great sign to see given the bullish projections of the company.</p><div></div> <p><figure><span><img hspace=\"6\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2022/3/13/55230498-16471682681616337.png\" vspace=\"6\"/></span><figcaption><p>Insider Selling <span>(Simply Wall St)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <h3><strong>Fierce Competition</strong></h3> <p>CrowdStrike has incredible patent-protected technology and superior marketing, however, the firm still faces fierce competition. Alphabet (Google) <span>(NASDAQ:GOOG)</span> <span>(NASDAQ:GOOGL)</span> has recently made headlines by acquiring the Cybersecurity company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MNDT\">Mandiant</a> (MNDT) for $5.4 billion. Mandiant specializes in Global threat intelligence and has close relationships with the US government. For example, in recent times, the firm was brought into investigate the colonial pipeline cyber-attack.</p> <p>Google acquired the company to strengthen their cloud security and compete with Microsoft <span>(NASDAQ:MSFT)</span>, which developed a strong in-house threat intelligence expertise. In addition, the firm acquired smaller Cybersecurity firms such as RiskIQ and ReFirm Labs.</p> <p>The only consolidation is Google Capital invested $55 million in CrowdStrike in 2015 and $60.7 million in 2017. Although these are “preferred shares” which act like a dividend-paying bond, it may influence Alphabet's competitive mindset.</p> <h2><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></h2> <p>CrowdStrike is a fantastic company and a true leader in the Cloud Security Market for enterprises. The firm's “Land and Expand” sales strategy is working wonders as the company is growing its customer base rapidly. After beating Wall Street expectations and with strong growth projections, the firm is poised for continued growth. The macro conditions of increased remote working and geopolitical uncertainty (Russia, China) should act as growth tailwinds behind the industry and make the purchase a “no brainer” for enterprises. The valuation has gotten “better” and you could say the stock is only slightly “overvalued” if the growth projections play out. However, the high inflation environment and a suspected rise in interest rates are compressing the multiples on all growth stocks, which means there are plenty of opportunities in the market.</p>\n</body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>CrowdStrike Stock: Poised For Meteoric Growth, Valuation Is Getting Better</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nCrowdStrike Stock: Poised For Meteoric Growth, Valuation Is Getting Better\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-14 17:38 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4495216-crowdstrike-poised-for-meteoric-growth-valuation-is-getting-better><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Milan_Jovic/E+ via Getty Images Cybersecurity is a growing necessity in our modern day digitally-connected world.

Customers include Mercedes-AMG, Virgin Hyperloop, and Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS). CrowdStrike is expecting 16,325 subscription customers by the end of 2022, up a further 65% year over year.

This shows investors have slightly more bullish estimates than my own predictions baked into the stock. These may come to fruition and the firm has a track record of high growth, however, I like to be conservative for valuation purposes, especially given the current market for growth stocks. Analyzing the stock's Price to Sales ratio (forward), it is looking “cheap” at PS = 20, relative to historical metrics, Price to Sales of over 50.   CrowdStrike PS Ratio (Author created) Comparing the Price to Sales ratio to other cybersecurity companies in the space, it’s more expensive than most, but it’s also growing faster than a lot of the other players on this list.   Price to Sales Cybersecurity stocks (Created by Author) Founder led The founder of CrowdStrike is George Kurtz and Dmitri Alperovitch. Kurtz is a veteran of the cybersecurity industry with over 29 years of experience. He was the former Chief Technology Officer at McAfee, CTO at GM, and founder of Foundstone in 1999, a worldwide security company. Kurtz owns 5.3% of the company and thus has “Skin in the Game”. I like to follow the investment strategy of investing into great tech founders who have Skin in the Game, this is the same strategy great investors such as former Hedge Fund Manager Nick Sleep used when investing 40% of his fund into Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock because of Bezos. Risks Insider Selling Despite the founder having “Skin in the Game”, I did notice a lot of Insider selling by him at $208 and other board members, in Q4 2021. This is not a great sign to see given the bullish projections of the company. Insider Selling (Simply Wall St) Fierce Competition CrowdStrike has incredible patent-protected technology and superior marketing, however, the firm still faces fierce competition. Alphabet (Google) (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has recently made headlines by acquiring the Cybersecurity company Mandiant (MNDT) for $5.4 billion. Mandiant specializes in Global threat intelligence and has close relationships with the US government. For example, in recent times, the firm was brought into investigate the colonial pipeline cyber-attack. Google acquired the company to strengthen their cloud security and compete with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), which developed a strong in-house threat intelligence expertise. In addition, the firm acquired smaller Cybersecurity firms such as RiskIQ and ReFirm Labs. The only consolidation is Google Capital invested $55 million in CrowdStrike in 2015 and $60.7 million in 2017. Although these are “preferred shares” which act like a dividend-paying bond, it may influence Alphabet's competitive mindset. Final Thoughts CrowdStrike is a fantastic company and a true leader in the Cloud Security Market for enterprises. The firm's “Land and Expand” sales strategy is working wonders as the company is growing its customer base rapidly. After beating Wall Street expectations and with strong growth projections, the firm is poised for continued growth. The macro conditions of increased remote working and geopolitical uncertainty (Russia, China) should act as growth tailwinds behind the industry and make the purchase a “no brainer” for enterprises. The valuation has gotten “better” and you could say the stock is only slightly “overvalued” if the growth projections play out. However, the high inflation environment and a suspected rise in interest rates are compressing the multiples on all growth stocks, which means there are plenty of opportunities in the market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":271,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9031407394,"gmtCreate":1646629805636,"gmtModify":1676534145283,"author":{"id":"3582060276042540","authorId":"3582060276042540","name":"Treesh79","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582060276042540","authorIdStr":"3582060276042540"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hello","listText":"Hello","text":"Hello","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9031407394","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":341,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
