CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) ticked higher on March 4, the day after it reported earnings, building on prior momentum.
The stock got a pre-earnings bump after the United States and Israel began a military campaign against Iran. From the opening of trading on March 2 to the close on March 3, CRWD stock rose approximately 6% amid volatility. This was a move in sympathy with defense and cybersecurity stocks. Since the conflict began, there have been many voices, including JPMorgan Chase chief executive officer (CEO) Jamie Dimon, warning about an escalated threat of cyberattacks in the United States.
