As a result, Stifel has reiterated its Buy rating and increased its price target from $400 to $475. However, Borg did warn investors that the stock’s strong rally and rising short-interest levels may cause some volatility in the share price around its earnings date.
Nevertheless, Stifel expects CrowdStrike to report strong fourth-quarter revenue of $1.03 billion, which represents a 22% year-over-year increase. The company has also made progress in its AI-driven security operations by announcing the general availability of Charlotte AI Detection Triage, a tool that allows cybersecurity analysts to respond to cyber threats more effectively. Therefore, Borg believes that any near-term weakness in the stock will be bought due to CrowdStrike’s strong positioning in the market.
