Oof, CRWD plummets over 7% after providing weak estimates for Q3. Sounds like government and enterprise spending on cybersecurity products is dwindling. Probably reallocating that money on AI, AI, and more AI. Oh, and a $1 billion dollar buyback program. Can't forget about the shareholders even when you have a PE ratio of nearly 1000 and a gloomy outlook.

Why would anybody buy into this, it's insanely overpriced for what it is
Remember the global computer crash of July 2024? One year ago a faulty CrowdStrike update brought the entire world of IT to a halt while overworked sysadmins scrambled to purge the broken patch and restore critical systems. Many feared it was the end for the company as its stock initially plummeted from around $345. However CrowdStrike mounted an unbelievable comeback through crisis management and closed door dealings. Today CRWD is at a whopping $470+ highlighting just how much quality of your product does not matter in today's economy. It's a valuable lesson for investors to recognize fundamentals are only a small, often insignificant contribution to the valuation of a company.
