  • CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) Stock Drops Amid Valuation Debate
    February 5, 2026, 9:50 PM EST. CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) shares declined roughly 15% last week and 22% over three months, sparking valuation discussions. The stock trades near $415, below an analyst fair value estimate of about $533, suggesting potential undervaluation despite a high price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 23.3 times. This contrasts with the US Software industry average P/S of 3.9 and peer average of 10.1. CrowdStrike's strategic focus on Next-Gen security and AI-powered data positioning supports growth expectations. However, execution risks and rising competitive costs could pressure margins. Investors face a choice: view the discount as a buying opportunity or caution over stretched valuation multiples amid uncertain profitability.
