Stifel analyst Brad Reback downgraded Crowdstrike to Hold from Buy with a price target of $120, down from $225. The company last night posted a “disappointing quarter,” with a sales beat well below historical trends and its first annual recurring revenue miss, Reback tells investors in a research note. The poor performance was driven by macro headwinds that contributed to elongated smaller customer sales cycles as well as a greater portion of enterprise clients moving to multi-phase subscription start dates, says the analyst. Reback believes that while management’s preliminary 2024 outlook was below consensus, it “could take a few quarters until expectations are fully de-risked.”
