$CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$ great buy opp. Everyone thinks they will be sued to disaster. Contract terms mean only Microsoft can pursue them easily. AND if they are relatively the best option, MST won't just turn them I to an enemy. There will be some compensation but nothing of the level of damage the I cadent caused. Target price would be 340.

Crowdstrike's Global Outage Sparks Ongoing Effects: What's Next? Last Friday, a flawed software update released by the cybersecurity company $CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$   caused widespread PC crashes globally, resulting in a large number of users experiencing "blue screen of death".

‌$CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$  ‌‌$Palo Alto Networks(PANW)$  ‌‌$SentinelOne, Inc(S)$  ‌ Imagine if there's a day that technology would brought the entire world to a pausing halt. That was yesterday. CrowdStrike Holdings has long dominated the market for cloud-based software which is meant to protect customers’ networks from hackers, but a botched software update has other plans that brought businesses from airlines to banks to a screeching halt which impacted billions of dollars in the market. The massive outage linked to cybersecurity company CrowdStrike could be the largest ever seen after the issue caused disruption to Microsoft's systems around th

Investment Context: On 19 July 2024, I decided to make an additional investment in Microsoft (MSFT) $Microsoft(MSFT)$   stock, which was trading at $437.11. This decision was made despite the company being in the spotlight due to a significant IT outage that disrupted Windows computer systems globally. The incident, attributed to a software update from CrowdStrike, caused substantial inconvenience by stranding travelers and disrupting financial company operations. Consequently, Microsoft shares experienced a minor decline of 0.74%. Reflection on Investment Decision: Immediate Impact of the IT Outage: The immediate market reaction to the IT outage was a slight drop in Microsoft’s stock price. Such incidents

As an investor with a cautious eye on the airline industry $U.S. Global Jets ETF(JETS)$, the recent tech outage that crippled global operations is a major concern. Here's why this reinforces my bearish view on airline stocks in the short to mid-term. A seemingly minor software update from $CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$ triggered a domino effect, impacting 8.5 million Microsoft devices, a significant number within critical service providers. This resulted in major flight cancellations at airlines like $Delta Air Lines(DAL)$, causing chaos for passengers.

The tech world woke up to a nightmare today as a $CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$ code update wreaked havoc on $Microsoft(MSFT)$ Windows machines globally. Image An update for CrowdStrike's Falcon Sensor, a security product designed to protect systems, appears to be causing widespread crashes. Users are reporting Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors, rendering their Windows machines unusable. This is a major concern, especially considering CrowdStrike's role in cybersecurity. While the root cause seems to be with CrowdStrike, Microsoft is also feeling the pinch. Many reports indicate disruptions to critical services like banking, airlines, and even emergency hotlines like 911. Th

@TigerHulk Kia ora and thank you for reading my post and your valuable insights! You’ve hit the nail on the head regarding the fallout from this colossal IT outage.

Alright, let’s dive into why I believe Microsoft and CrowdStrike are buys instead of sells despite the global outage that has caused disruptions for LME, banks, and multiple airlines. $CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$  First off, let’s talk about Microsoft. Sure, the outage was a hiccup, but let’s face it, Microsoft is like that invincible character in a video game who just keeps coming back stronger. With a market cap that towers over most, a diverse product portfolio, and robust financials, a short-term outage is just a blip on their radar. The dip in stock prices due to the outage presents a golden buying opportunity. Think of it as buying a premium product at a discount – who wouldn’t want that$Mic

@Agxm Kia ora and thank you for reading my post and asking a valid question.  Kia ora AGXM, You’re right to ask about this. While it might seem that only direct users of CrowdStrike products would be affected, the reality is much broader. Millions have been impacted indirectly due to the interconnected nature of today's digital infrastructure. Here’s why: Widespread Impact on Services: CrowdStrike’s products are integrated into critical systems used by major banks, airlines, and tech companies. When these systems fail, services that millions rely on are disrupted. Ripple Effects: A disruption in one part of the network can cause cascading effects, impacting various sectors connected to it.
