CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD)

If you buy it today (down 10-12%), you're playing with fire. It's a big deal, a big screw up and she has no idea how this will end. This time of year, contracts are being signed.  A client now has the upper hand and could squeeze CRWD for a better deal. At 80x PE and 19x sales, there's zero room for error. Today is only the tip of the iceberg for CRWD, their clients and the industry. There could be government intervention.

It's expensive at 78x forward PE. He owns PANW instead trades at 58x. Today's outage is very concerning. There could be government intervention -- how does that weigh on the space? But cybersecurity spending will continue. Let the dust settle. Don't buy now.

This could be a buying opportunity. He's regretted not buying this in the past. The CEO is great and will get through this crisis. Yes, they are a market leader in mobiles and PCs, but the valuation remains too high for him at 19x sales. Deserved, because it's the belle of the ball. He bought Fortinet and Checkpoint instead.

They project 30% YOY revenue increase next year. Shares might settle here a bit, but could enjoy a bump on news that the S&P will add them the index. Their annual recurring revenue will continue to be a behemoth for them.

A good one to put some money towards.

Valuations in cybersecurity are high. He waited a long time and recently bought it at $300. He is a long-term investor. CRWD is the leader in this space. Was just added to the S&P, and they just unveiled their AI offering which accounts for nearly 25% of their revenues. But, this has to grow into its high valuation. He bought a half position.

(Analysts’ price target is $400.71)

They just reported a major top and bottom line beat and raised forecasts. A winner.

If you're going to buy just one cybersecurity company right now, buy this one.

Decent runway. Moved to subscription-based model. Involved in corporate workload security and the cloud. Falcon ID protection and log management. Blew it out of the park on top and bottom in March, guided higher on revenue and earnings. Buy here around $321, more closer to $300, under $300 would be a great buy.

Reported a great quarter a few weeks ago and announced a cloud partnership with Nvidia.

Shares jumped more than 10% after reporting a top and bottom line beat and offered better than expected guidance for the quarter and full-year.

Grand opportunity today, rolled over 10%. He wants to add to his position, but is waiting for all the short-dated options to be dealt with. Tomorrow or Friday will probably be good days to step in. 12-month price target of $320.

You can own so many stocks and he didn't buy cybersecurity. Also, he wonders if and when tech giants like Microsoft, Alphabet and Apple will get into this space. PANW and Crowstrike have performed well though.

Next to semiconductors, cybersecurity is one of the great secular growth areas. Hacks are proliferating. An area you have to own. Cybersecurity covers huge government risk and business risk. Really strong secular growth for years to come.
