Deutsche Bank upgrades CrowdStrike to Buy and raises price target to $300

Deutsche Bank analyst Brad Zelnick upgraded CrowdStrike Holdings to a Buy rating on November 2, lifting the price target from $240 to $300. The upgrade cited accelerating AI‑driven demand for cybersecurity and a $565 billion total addressable market by 2034. On the same day CrowdStrike reported Q2 FY2027 revenue of $1.47 billion, up 25.8% year‑over‑year, and net new ARR of $332.8 million, a 51% increase.

Deutsche Bank expects the AI‑fuelled market expansion to drive further revenue growth and sees the stock having upside to the new $300 target (the bank’s note says). The guidance and partnership announcements could support higher valuations for investors.
