CRWD and MDB both released earnings today.   I took the opportunity to listen to CRWD’s call, since it is now by far my largest position, having appreciated ~50% in the last three weeks!!  The call and the quarterly earnings release did NOT disappoint.  They absolutely crushed it!!  $199m revenues with 89% increase in Subscription revenues q/q.  They Increased guidance for next quarter and for the year…improved margins by 2 points to 76%, $55m in CFFO, $32.4m in FCF.   1.1B in cash.  ARR (Annual Recurring Revenues)were $791m, up 87%.  They spoke of secular tailwinds and favorable competitive environment fueling continued growth.  ZM is a hard act to follow and the stock will not be up like ZM tomorrow (who had 355% revenue growth), but this is a company I’m very happy to continue owning.  If my position was not already 17%, I’d likely be adding to it tomorrow as it has continued to outperform and I don’t see it slowing down.  The stock may trade down 5-10% tomorrow as many traders take profits from the huge 50% run up, but make no mistake, CRWD had a spectacular quarter.  Hope some of you had a chance to jump on the call today.   Quite impressive.  Cheers!
