## Elevator Pitch

- Multiple channel checks point to higher-than-expected demand that consensus estimates don't seem to be pricing in. So I expect a revenue result and guidance beat in Q1 results.
- A 5% cut in headcounts can provide a 380bps margin tailwind., but stock-based compensation remains a key risk.
- CRWD is not cheap and there is some valuation risk. However, I am wary of avoiding a stock purely due to high valuations when the growth and margin momentum are accelerating.
- CRWD vs. SPX500 is breaking out to the upside on the monthly technical charts.
- A key risk monitorable is whether the margin benefits would be eaten up by stock-based compensation; a perennial concern I've had on CrowdStrike.
