Analyst Meta Marshall of Morgan Stanley upgraded CRWD to Buy on March 10, 2026, with a price target of $510, signaling further potential gains from current levels. Marshall sees CrowdStrike as a durable platform winner in security, supported by favorable AI positioning, strong endpoint security trends, and growing uptake of emerging modules.
In her report, Marshall highlights that CRWD remains one of the most expensive cybersecurity stocks at about 0.7x EV/Sales/g, yet she argues the premium is justified by multiyear 20%+ revenue growth potential. She notes the company is well placed to gain share in endpoint security, cloud, identity and next‑generation SIEM, benefiting from AI tailwinds in its SIEM and SOC business.
Marshall also points to Falcon Flex as a key engine of growth, with the offering growing 120% year over year in FQ4 and driving larger, longer platform deals. She says customers are “re‑Flexing” sooner in their cycles, while the core endpoint business continues to act as a powerful funnel, helping CrowdStrike consolidate security spending on its platform.
