CrowdStrike業績遜預期 股價急挫6.7%




CrowdStrike預測第二季度收入低於華爾街預期,股價盤後下跌6.7%

網絡安全公司CrowdStrike最新公佈的第二季度收入預測低於華爾街分析師的普遍預期,反映出企業在網絡安全產品上的支出趨於疲軟,導致該公司股價於週二盤後下跌6.7%。

儘管隨著網絡威脅和勒索軟件攻擊日益增多,對強化網絡安全解決方案的需求不斷上升,但由於利率上升和通脹持續高企,客戶不得不收緊科技支出,令CrowdStrike等公司的需求承壓。

此外,美國政府部門推動的成本削減措施,尤其是聯邦、州及地方政府合約環境變得更加嚴峻,亦可能對2025年的網絡安全市場帶來負面影響。券商William Blair在四月指出,關稅和宏觀經濟不確定性同樣會影響未來客戶的支出決策。

CrowdStrike在競爭激烈的市場中,還面臨來自其他網絡安全巨頭如Palo Alto Networks和Fortinet的強勁挑戰。

在剛過去的第一季度,CrowdStrike報告總收入為11億美元,符合市場預期。

公司預計第二季度收入將介乎11.4億至11.5億美元之間,而市場分析師平均預估為11.6億美元,略微偏低。

值得一提的是,CrowdStrike董事會當日亦批准了一項最高達10億美元的股票回購計劃,或有助提振市場信心。

評論與深入分析:

CrowdStrike的最新財務指引透露出企業在當前經濟環境下,對網絡安全支出的謹慎態度,這反映出高利率和持續通脹對科技行業的壓力並非短期現象。雖然網絡威脅愈來愈嚴重,理應推動安全支出增加,但實際情況卻是企業在資金分配上更為保守,尤其是公共部門的預算緊縮更為明顯。

這種矛盾現象值得深思:在高風險時代,企業和政府本應加碼防範,但經濟壓力迫使他們在安全投資上變得謹慎,長遠來看或埋下更大風險。CrowdStrike的競爭對手如Palo Alto Networks和Fortinet也面臨同樣挑戰,整體網絡安全市場是否會因資金緊縮而放緩,成為業界值得關注的焦點。

另一方面,CrowdStrike啟動大規模股票回購計劃,可能反映管理層對公司長期發展仍有信心,試圖用行動穩定投資者情緒。但此舉是否足以抵消市場對收入增長放緩的擔憂,仍有待觀察。

總括而言,CrowdStrike的情況揭示了宏觀經濟與科技安全需求之間的矛盾與拉鋸,提醒我們在評估科技股時,必須同時考慮經濟環境與行業本質風險,不能單純依賴市場需求的正面趨勢。這對香港及全球投資者在科技和安全領域的資產配置,提供了寶貴的啟示。
