CrowdStrike Plunged 20% on Current-Quarter Revenue Forecast Below Estimates

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc on Tuesday forecast fourth-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates, as an economic downturn hit spending for its cyber security services.
Shares of the Austin, Texas-based company fell more than 20% in premarket trading.
The company expects revenue between $619.1 million and $628.2 million, compared with analysts' average estimate of $632.8 million, according to Refinitiv IBES data.
CrowdStrike also said increased macroeconomic headwinds elongated sales cycles with smaller customers, and caused some larger ones to pursue multi-phase subscription start dates, which delays annual recurring revenue $(ARR)$ recognition until future quarters.
Total revenue for the third quarter was $580.8 million.
On an adjusted basis, the company earned 40 cents for the quarter ended Oct. 31, compared to estimates of 31 cents.
