周三盘中,网络安全公司CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)盘中股价大跌8.21%,主要原因是公司第二季度营收指引低于市场预期,引发了投资者对其增长前景的担忧。
根据CrowdStrike最新发布的财报,公司第一季度营收达11亿美元,同比增长19.8%,符合市场预期。然而,公司预计第二季度营收将在11.4亿至11.5亿美元之间,低于分析师平均预期的11.6亿美元。这一低于预期的营收指引成为拖累股价的主要因素。
值得注意的是,CrowdStrike去年遭遇的软件故障事件继续影响公司业务。财务总监Burt Podbere表示,与客户承诺计划(CCP)相关的措施使第一季度收入减少了约1100万美元,预计在本财年剩余时间里,每季度将继续受到1000万至1500万美元的影响。这表明公司仍在努力修复与客户的关系并恢复增长势头。
尽管面临短期挑战,多家券商仍看好CrowdStrike的长期前景。至少18家券商上调了公司的目标股价,其中Raymond James将目标价从390美元上调至485美元。然而,Canaccord Genuity将公司评级从"买入"下调至"持有",反映出市场对公司近期表现的担忧。为提振投资者信心,CrowdStrike董事会批准了至多10亿美元的股票回购计划,但这似乎未能抵消疲软指引带来的负面影响。
