CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD)

The best in this sector, but shares are -13% this year, because investors fear that AI will replace cybersecurity. Yesterday they reported a strong quarter and the CEO insisted that Anthropic cannot replace CRWD. Shares popped over 4% today.

They report Tuesday. It's an expensive stock, though it's PE has been compressed when Anthtropic invaded its cybersecurity turf. In reality, the two don't compete, but are partners. CRWD should not have gotten crushed recently, but it hasn't snapped back. He stands by CRWD.

She worries that small businesses could built their own cybersecurity. You have to imagine that anything can happen.

They will solve the new cyber threats, but it will take time and money. This sell-off is probably a buying opportunity.

These companies are enablers--AI needs them for AI to work. So, buy on the current sell-off, driven by AI disruption fears.

Is sticking with it, despite being town 15.5% this year. Is one of the two 2 cybersecurity stocks. Customers depend on it so much that he sees no AI disruption. In fact, AI gives criminals more tools to attack.

On Monday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang praised CRWD several times, but CRWD shares didn't move. CRWD rarely declines and is always close to its high. Pounce on any dips.

They had a global outage when they did a failed update. Shares plummetted. You could own the HACK and/or BUG ETFs as well as CRWD so you get overall sector exposure as well as the leader in the group.

A long-time holding. They just posted a nice top and bottom line beat. Net new annual recurring revenue was $265 million, beating the expected $239 million. 

Is doubling down on this. See his comments about Zscaler. It reports next week.

They reported Tuesday. Annual recurring revenue should be strong. The AI agent security tool should work well. Options are pricing in a 7% move. Expect margins at 21%. The stock pulled back from PANW earnings.

The price target was raised. He expects a good report on Dec. 2. Growth has re-accelerated and are managing the balance sheet well. There's strong demand for their diverse products.

He's been in this name before, but doesn't own anything in the space right now. All the names are pricey. A larger player, but it's not inexpensive.

Likes cybersecurity theme, as threats will only grow in the future and get more costly. Fairly volatile, so he trades it. Now at 200-day MA, where there's been some support. Chance of a small rebound. Trades at 98x forward PE for 17% EPS growth. All these names trade at a premium.

Yesterday, it reported a good quarter, apart from a soft revenue outlook, including an earnings beat. Shares initially fell, then bounce back.
