Buy CrowdStrike Before the Stock Split? Here’s the Case

CrowdStrike (CRWD) is up 45% in 2026 but down 10% since strong June earnings despite board approval of a 4-for-1 stock split. While the split itself doesn't create value, the company's strong fundamentals—including 26% YOY revenue growth, 51% EPS growth, and raised ARR guidance—support a bullish case. The stock trades at expensive traditional valuations but benefits from S&P 500 membership, institutional ownership, and a $1.5 billion buyback authorization. Technical analysis shows constructive momentum with room to run.
