CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.21, indicating a consensus of between Strong Buy and Buy, based on recommendations from 42 brokerage firms. Out of these, 36 are Strong Buy and three are Buy, representing 85.7% and 7.1% of all ratings, respectively.
Despite the favorable ABR, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for CrowdStrike’s current year earnings has declined by 0.7% to $3.99, leading to a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). This suggests that analysts are becoming increasingly pessimistic regarding the company’s earnings prospects, making the ABR potentially misleading for investors.
Investors are advised to critically assess the ABR in light of the Zacks Rank, as brokerage recommendations may not align with retail investor interests and often exhibit strong positive bias.
