CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD) Q2 2027 Earnings Report

The call portrays a strongly positive operational and financial quarter with record metrics across net new ARR, ARR, revenue, profitability, cash generation, and product adoption (notably FalconFlex, AIDR, next-gen SIEM and identity). Management raised full-year guidance materially and cited durable AI-driven demand and broad-based platform adoption across customers and partners. Lowlights are largely contextual (GAAP vs non-GAAP spread, market threat acceleration, an acquisition not contributing near-term revenue, and token consumption management), but they do not materially detract from the quarter's momentum. Overall, highlights significantly outweigh the lowlights.

CrowdStrike raised its FY27 guidance and provided detailed Q3 and full‑year targets: it now expects FY27 net new ARR of $1.350–$1.359 billion (≈34% YoY at the midpoint), reflecting a 630‑bp upgrade this quarter and a 1,150‑bp increase versus the initial outlook (≈$116M of upward revision since the start of the year); full‑year ARR is guided to $6.603–$6.612 billion (+26% YoY) with total revenue $5.991–$6.011 billion (+25% YoY), non‑GAAP operating income $1.497–$1.508 billion, non‑GAAP net income $1.303–$1.312 billion and diluted non‑GAAP EPS $1.25–$1.26 (assumes 21% tax rate and ≈1.04B weighted average diluted shares). For Q3 FY27 the company expects ARR of $6.184–$6.188 billion (+26% YoY), net new ARR $343–$347 million (+29–31% YoY), total revenue $1.523–$1.529 billion (+23–24% YoY), non‑GAAP operating income $373–$376 million, non‑GAAP net income $325–$328 million and diluted non‑GAAP EPS of ≈$0.31 (assumes 21% tax and ≈1.05B shares); management also expects Q3 free cash flow margin of ~27.5% at the midpoint and at least 30% for the full fiscal year.
