Factors to Note Ahead of CrowdStrike's (CRWD) Q1 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD - Free Report) is slated to report first-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Jun 2.
The company anticipates first-quarter fiscal 2023 revenues in the range of $458.9 million-$465.4 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $464.8 million, indicating an improvement of 53.5% from the year-ago quarter.
CrowdStrike expects non-GAAP earnings between 22 cents and 24 cents per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for non-GAAP earnings stands at 23 cents per share, suggesting an improvement of 130% year over year.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 52.2%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before this announcement.
CrowdStrike’s first-quarter results are likely to reflect the benefits of the continued solid demand for its products, given the healthy environment of the global security market. The acquisitions of SecureCircle and Humio are likely to have strengthened CRWD’s capabilities and may have attracted new customers during the quarter under review.
The increasing number of people logging into employers' networks has triggered a greater need for security and might have spurred demand for CrowdStrike’s products in the first quarter. A strong pipeline of deals indicates the same.
Additionally, the stellar revenue growth in subscription might have contributed significantly to the first quarter’s top line. Further, the increasing number of net new subscription customers may have acted as a tailwind as well.
Moreover, CrowdStrike’s collaboration with Amazon’s (AMZN - Free Report) Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) is an upside, benefiting the company from its products’ availability on the AWS platform.
The expansion in the volume of transactions through Amazon’s AWS Marketplace, growth in co-selling opportunities with AWS salesforce and the uptake of AWS service integrations are likely to have contributed to CRWD’s earnings in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, elevated expenses for enhancing sales and marketing capabilities and increased investments in research and development are likely to have weighed on CrowdStrike’s first-quarter bottom line.
What Our Model Says
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for CrowdStrike this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. However, that’s not the case here.
Though CrowdStrike currently holds a Zacks Rank of 3, it has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
