Jim Cramer on CrowdStrike (CRWD): “I Think the Second Half of the Year is Going to Be Really Good”

Jim Cramer on CrowdStrike (CRWD): I Think the Second Half of the Year is Going to Be Really Good Syeda Seirut Javed Sun, June 21, 2026 at 10:50 AM PDT 2 min read CRWD CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.

The company offers protection for endpoints, cloud systems, identities, and data. During the June 4 episode, Cramer discussed the company following its excellent quarter.

The guidance was strong, too, and they even announced a 4-for-1 stock split, which shouldn’t matter in theory, but in practice, tends to attract more individual investors. And I think this is a buying opportunity. While we acknowledge the potential of CRWD as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
