CrowdStrike price target raised to $480 from $385 at KeyBanc

KeyBanc raised the firm’s price target on CrowdStrike (CRWD) to $480 from $385 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares ahead of quarterly results. The firm says checks with channel partners were solid. All partners KeyBanc spoke to were in line with or above plan. While its checks are positive, the firm does retain some caution ahead of earnings given CrowdStrike’s +23% return year-to-date vs. IGV +6% and the company’s exposure to Fed, which it believes could be upwards of mid-teens percent of revenue.
