Similarly, Stifel adjusted its price target to $220, also maintaining a Buy rating, reflecting the new share count post-split. Barclays has revised its target to $169, maintaining an Overweight rating, as the split took effect recently.
In contrast, UBS has raised its price target to $235, citing growth in artificial intelligence as a key factor, following meetings with CrowdStrike's top executives. Morgan Stanley, while slightly reducing its price target to $172, continues to maintain an Overweight rating, noting CrowdStrike's market leadership in SaaS security platforms. These developments highlight the varied perspectives of analysts on CrowdStrike's future prospects in light of recent corporate actions and market trends.
