How CrowdStrike (CRWD) Stock Stands Out in a Strong Industry

One stock that might be an intriguing choice for investors right now is CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc., CRWD. This is because this security in the Internet - Software space is seeing solid earnings estimate revision activity, and is in great company from a Zacks Industry Rank perspective.

This is important because, often times, a rising tide will lift all boats in an industry, as there can be broad trends taking place in a segment that are boosting securities across the board. This is arguably taking place in the Internet - Software space as it currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 74 out of more than 250 industries, suggesting it is well-positioned from this perspective, especially when compared to other segments out there.

Meanwhile, CrowdStrike is actually looking pretty good on its own too. The firm has seen solid earnings estimate revision activity over the past month, suggesting analysts are becoming a bit more bullish on the firm’s prospects in both the short and long term.

In fact, over the past month, current quarter estimates have narrowed from a loss of 10 cents per share to a loss of 6 cents per share, while current year estimates have narrowed from a loss of 21 cents per share to a loss of 12 cents per share. This has helped CRWD to earn a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), further underscoring the company’s solid position. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

So, if you are looking for a decent pick in a strong industry, consider CrowdStrike.
