CrowdStrike (CRWD) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD - Free Report) is slated to release second-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Sep 2.
For the fiscal second quarter, the company estimates revenues in the $185.8-$190.3 million band. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $188.6 million, indicating a 74.5% year-over-year surge.
For the bottom line, management expects to report between 2 cents of loss per share and a break-even. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same stands at a loss of a penny, narrower than the loss of 18 cents per share reported in the year-ago quarter.
In the last reported quarter, the company had reported adjusted earnings of 2 cents per share compared with the 55 cents loss per share posted in the year-ago quarter. Further, revenues soared 85.3% year over year to $178.1 million.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Factors at Play
CrowdStrike’s quarterly results are expected to reflect benefits from continued solid demand for its products, given the healthy environment of the global security market.
Also, a huge global workforce is working remotely, in an effort to contain the spread of coronavirus. However, an increasing number of people logging into employers' networks has been triggering a greater need for security. This trend might have had spurred demand for CrowdStrike’s products in the fiscal second quarter.
Furthermore, CrowdStrike’s quarterly results are likely to reflect robust growth in subscription revenues. Increasing number of net new subscription customers might have been a key tailwind as well.
The company is anticipated to have gained from the growing strength in subscription customers, who are frequently adopting four or more cloud modules. CrowdStrike’s cloud-native Falcon platform is a major driver.
In addition, investment in the collaboration with Amazon' AWS is an upside. The company is benefiting from its product availability on the AWS platform. Expansion in volume of transactions through the AWS Marketplace, growth in the co-selling opportunities with AWS salesforce, and the uptake of AWS service integrations are expected to have boosted the company’s earnings performance this time around.
What Our Model Says
Our proven model does not predict an earnings beat for CrowdStrike this season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP, and Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold), increases the chances of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell, before they’re reported, with our Earnings ESP Filter.
CrowdStrike currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3 and has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.
Stocks With Favorable Combinations
Here are some companies, which, per our model, have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
Ambarella (AMBA - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +100.00% and carries a Zacks Rank of 3, at present.
Nutanix (NTNX - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +5.71% and carries a Zacks Rank of 3, currently.
These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.
Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.
