CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) stock advanced more than 4% to an all-time high Thursday, following bullish price forecasts by analysts. Wedbush analysts have called it the “gold standard” in the cybersecurity field, and ultimately raised their price target by $50 to $575. The firm also kept its “outperform” rating for CRWD stock.
The analysts believe CrowdStrike is a big beneficiary of the demand for artificial intelligence cybersecurity products. As the AI sector continues to dominate US markets and become a bigger priority, Crowdstrike has done well to fit that mold. Wedbush explains that CrowdStrike has had “increased momentum in the field around its cyber platform approach based on our recent checks coming in very strong with healthy momentum into the next year for one of the stalwarts of cybersecurity.” Additionally, they also noted that the spread of “deal momentum” with artificial intelligence is “a clear tailwind.” Wedbush believes that “CRWD remains at the forefront of securing the AI Revolution over the coming years.”
