Factors to Note Ahead of Q3 Earnings

CrowdStrike’s third-quarter results are likely to reflect benefits from continued solid demand for its products, given the healthy environment of the global security market.

The increasing number of people logging into employers' networks have triggered a greater need for security and might have spurred demand for CrowdStrike’s products in the third quarter. A strong pipeline of deals indicates the same.

Stellar revenue growth in subscription might have contributed significantly to the to-be-reported quarter’s top line. Further, the increasing number of net new subscription customers may have acted as a tailwind as well.

The recent acquisition of Humio and Preempt is likely to have strengthened CrowdStrike’s capabilities and may have attracted new customers.

CrowdStrike’s collaboration with Amazon's AMZN Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) is an upside, benefiting the company from its products’ availability on the AWS platform.

Expansion in the volume of transactions through Amazon’s AWS Marketplace, growth in the co-selling opportunities with AWS salesforce and the uptake of AWS service integrations are likely to have contributed to CRWD’s earnings performance in the to-be-reported quarter.

However, the elevated expenses toward enhancing sales and marketing capabilities, and an increased investment in research and development are likely to have weighed on CrowdStrike’s third-quarter bottom line.
