The cybersecurity world is changing fast, and CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) is one of the companies firmly in the spotlight. Widely regarded as a powerhouse in endpoint cybersecurity, CrowdStrike has watched its stock soar over the past year as organizations increasingly turn to its Falcon platform to protect their networks and endpoints, including computers and smartphones, from sophisticated cyberattacks. And what makes the story even more compelling now is the speed at which artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving.
As AI models become more capable, cybersecurity risks are growing alongside them. In recent weeks, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta Platforms (META) have each said that their models hacked into outside companies during internal testing, offering a glimpse into how powerful AI systems could potentially be used to identify and exploit vulnerabilities. The concern is particularly significant as AI labs race to build agentic AI capable of performing increasingly complex tasks with greater autonomy.

CrowdStrike is scheduled to report its fiscal 2027 second-quarter earnings on Wednesday, Aug. 26, after the U.S. market closes. With earnings approaching and AI rapidly changing the cybersecurity landscape, there's plenty for investors to watch.

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, CrowdStrike Holdings is a global cybersecurity company focused on protecting critical areas of enterprise risk, including endpoints, cloud workloads, identity, and data. At the heart of its cybersecurity offering is the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, powered by the CrowdStrike Security Cloud and AI.
