Crowdstrike Holdings, Inc. (CRWD) Price Prediction and Forecast 2025-2030
Published:
Last Updated:
With the advent of the digital age, tech-minded thieves, scammers, and hackers found a panoply of new prospective victims. As digital tools became routine within the government and industrial sectors, the inherent security vulnerabilities from skilled antagonists armed simply with a computer created the birth of the cybersecurity industry.
Founded in 2011, Austin-headquartered Crowdstrike Holdings (NASDAQ: CRWD) became a leader in the global cybersecurity sector, thanks to a number of high-profile hacking and cyber-espionage investigations on both the corporate and government levels. Providing endpoint security, threat intelligence, and cyber attack response services, Crowdstrike’s valuation has exploded, from $1 billion in 2017 to a 2024 market cap of $89.24 billion.
While Crowdstrike has strong ties to the US government and multibillion-dollar conglomerates, its public reputation has been built on its identification of government-level military and espionage hacker groups.
To date, Crowdstrike’s biggest setback has been from July 2024. The company released an update to its Falcon detection and response software agent. Unfortunately, code flaws caused millions of Microsoft Windows OS-powered computers to crash all around the world. The downtime caused a widespread global impact, grounding commercial airline flights, temporarily taking Sky News and other broadcasters offline, and disrupting banking and healthcare services as well as 911 emergency call centers. Subsequent problems arose requiring multiple boots or other cumbersome, software key command fixes.
As a result, Crowdstrike stock dropped from a high of $398.00 per share to a low of $208.10 in only 4 trading sessions. The stock has since clawed back from that loss.
Regardless, investors are much more concerned with future stock performance over the next 1, 5, to 10 years. While most Wall Street analysts will calculate 12-month forward projections, it’s clear that nobody has a consistent crystal ball, and plenty of unforeseen circumstances can render even near-term projections irrelevant. 24/7 Wall Street aims to present some further-looking insights based on Crowdstrike’s own numbers, along with business and market development information that may be of help to our readers’ own research.

Crowdstrike’s identification of highly publicized cybersecurity breach perpetrators is the bedrock of its reputation. The following milestone events were all significant milestones:
From 2020 on, Crowdstrike enacted a number of acquisitions that both grew the company’s valuation, as well as expanded its capabilities. These include:
Crowdstrike went public in 2019. It finally became profitable in 2024, after years of losses as it built its cybersecurity business.
Fiscal Year (Jan 31) | Price | Revenues | Net Income |
2015 | n/a | n/a | n/a |
2016 | n/a | n/a | n/a |
2017 | n/a | $52.70 M | ($91.30 M) |
2018 | n/a | $118.80 M | ($135.50 M) |
2019 | IPO: 6-2019) | $249.80 M | ($140.01 M) |
2020 | $61.09 | $481.40 M | ($141.80 M) |
2021 | $215.80 | $874.40 M | ($92.60 M) |
2022 | $198.33 | $1.451 B | ($234.80 M) |
2023 | $105.90 | $2.241 B | ($183.20 M) |
2024 (10/2024) | $291.77 | $3.055 B | $89.30 M |
The consensus rating from 50 Wall Street analysts is ‘buy/outperform’. Their average price target in 12 months is $331.31, which is -9.08% from today’s price of $364.40.
24/7 Wall Street’s 12-month projection for Crowdstrike’s price is a slightly higher $326.70, which would be a loss of -10.35% from today’s price of $364.40. Given that Crowdstrike only went into the black earlier this year and after a near 40% drop in July, the measured regaining of lost ground is certainly not unexpected. The P/E ratio at the time of this writing is over 400, but as profitability is so recent, we are using a P/E of 90 for our projections.
Crowdstrike Horizon cloud security solutions for Microsoft’s Azure will likely be customized and then adopted by Amazon and Google for their platforms. All three already use Crowdstrike Falcon for their conventional web business. We anticipate Crowstrike’s 2026 price to hit $386.10.
As cyberattacks continue to proliferate and cyber blackmail schemes using viruses escalate, we think that Falcon improvements and enhancements from Cardinal Ops, Nagomi and Veriti will drive more subscriptions for premium service packages. We project 2027 to see Crowstrike’s price go to $484.20.
Crowdstrike’s debt-to-equity ratio is 0.79 as of 2024. Additional cash from operations used to redeem bonds and improve the company’s debt-to-earnings ratio to over 1.0 will broaden its appeal for conservative buy-and-hold institutional investor types, which will boost the stock in 2028 to a projected price of $588.60.
Identity Theft continues to attain greater sophistication, being able to to now use some digital copies of biometric security protocols to breach security protection measures. Enhanced 2.0 version of Zero Trust protocols from the SecureCircle and Preempt Security acquisitions should address those issues to better protect systems. The 2029 Crowdstrike price is projected to be $927.00, a big jump that will be led by further Falcon subscription boosts.
Charlotte AI-driven security measures that learn about new threats and immediately update all of the details and successive defensive protocols deployed across the Falcon platform should greatly advance Crowdstrike’s cybersecurity capabilities. The machine learning aspects of Charlotte AI will allow for better anticipation of future threats. This will contribute to a huge jump in 2030 earnings and a commensurate projected price of $1,163.70.
Year | EPS | P/E multiple | Price |
2025 | $3.63 | 90 | $326.70 |
