On June 4, CrowdStrike declined 10.78% overnight, trading at $666.0/share, with trading volume of $412,300. The sell-off came despite the company reporting better-than-expected fiscal Q1 2027 results after the bell on June 3.
CrowdStrike posted adjusted EPS of $1.10, beating the consensus estimate of $1.07, while revenue of $1.386 billion surpassed expectations of $1.363 billion, representing approximately 23.5% year-over-year growth. The company also raised its full-year revenue guidance and announced a 1-for-4 stock split. Adjusted net income grew to $283.4 million from $184.7 million a year earlier.
However, the stock had surged approximately 98% over the prior three months, pushing its forward P/E ratio to roughly 133x. The options market had priced in approximately 10.5% post-earnings volatility. RBC Capital had previously noted that market expectations had risen significantly. Despite the across-the-board beat, notably higher operating expenses combined with the elevated valuation prompted investors to lock in gains, driving the sharp overnight decline.
