Rising cyber risk linked to AI investment and new data center build outs is pulling digital security out of the IT basement and into boardroom conversations. As more value moves online, the companies guarding networks and data gain fresh attention from capital. This article breaks down three cybersecurity stocks from a curated screener with solid health scores and market caps above $100m. The stocks covered below are just a small sample, and the full cybersecurity screen surfaced 30 more...

You may own CrowdStrike (CRWD), a cybersecurity company whose shares rose 5.1% in five sessions as the S&P 500 fell 1.2%. You likely hold it beside an index fund, and your whole account swings more when one holding jumps. Have the gains on CrowdStrike been big enough to pay for those swings.

Bernstein's Peter Weed downgraded Palo Alto Networks, Okta, and SentinelOne to Market Perform while raising price targets on all three, as analysts weigh AI-driven demand against slowing margin growth.

On Monday, privately held Spear Street Technology announced that it had closed a funding round valuing its AI agent Instinct at $10 billion from big-name venture capital firms Sequoia Benchmark, and Coatue. Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence estimated the potential market from those three sectors alone at $1 trillion in transaction value. The catch is that Instinct is still in “early access,” meaning most people can’t actually use it until access expands.

If you own CrowdStrike (CRWD), one worry stands out: did its best quarter come from a burst of AI urgency that will fade? Management called fiscal Q2 2027 the company's very best quarter. Over the last year, CrowdStrike stock returned 112%, against 18.0% for the S&P 500. A $10,000 holding a year ago is now worth about $21,200. Which threat could take that gain back.

The AI-powered cybersecurity company's hypergrowth days are over.

The popular view of CrowdStrike (CRWD) is that AI has made a fast-growing security company grow even faster. The stock returned 98% over the past year. The S&P 500 returned 18.5% over the same period. For that view to be right, two things must both be true. The faster growth has to last, and it has to turn into real profit. So far, only the first one clearly holds.

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after falling Treasury yields eased pressure on software stocks as signs of cooler U.S.–China tensions lifted risk appetite.

SentinelOne has enjoyed a strong rebound in recent years, yet over a 5 year stretch long term holders are still looking at a deep drawdown. With the stock now trading around US$23.19 and sentiment lifted by its role in AI security, the live question is whether that price can be supported by the cash flows the business is expected to generate. Over 5 years the share price return is down 61.9%, which puts the focus squarely on whether the current valuation is now more closely aligned with what...

Check out the companies making headlines yesterday:

The cybersecurity company reported a significant insider sale as shares head towards a 52-week high.

Shares of cybersecurity AI platform provider SentinelOne (NYSE:S) jumped 2.9% in the afternoon session after the company announced it was recognized as an AI Security Platform Leader by analyst firm Latio in its 2026 AI Security Market Report.

CrowdStrike (CRWD) added $333 million of net new annual recurring revenue in fiscal Q2 2027, a record and 51% more than a year earlier. That figure is the case for a stock at its 52-week high, up 117% over the past year. It is also the number to worry about. At 44.5 times sales, the price looks built on that pace, and the company's own guide for fiscal Q3 2027 calls for a slower one.

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after shares of enterprise software and SaaS companies rallied broadly as investors rotated capital out of semiconductor and AI-hardware stocks following calls for an artificial intelligence development slowdown.

CrowdStrike (CRWD) stock rose about 97% over the past year, against 18% for the S&P 500, as growth in the recurring revenue it adds each quarter sped up. Management was forecasting that speed-up by March 2025 and named one mechanism: Falcon Flex customers using up their contracts early and coming back for more. The direction was public. The size of the fiscal 2027 speed-up was not.

CrowdStrike (CRWD) trades at $210.02, roughly double where it stood a year ago while the S&P 500 returned 19.3%, and it sits at about 91% of its 52-week high. The easy read is that the AI security trade has already happened and you are late to it. But its own recurring revenue base points at something steadier than a spike, and the price now assumes that steadiness.
