Chart showing CrowdStrike's revenue rising steadily over the past three years, from $732 million in the third quarter of 2023 to $1.21 billion in the first quarter of 2026.

1) CrowdStrike Drops Over 10% Following Q2 Earnings

Matt Frankel, Team Hidden Gems

CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) was priced for perfection heading into this earnings report. It was trading for well over 100 times earnings and for nearly 40 times sales. Although the business is growing impressively, is a 26% top-line growth rate worth paying such a premium for? The market seems to be questioning that after this report.

Let's be clear. This wasn't a bad quarter. Far from it. But it wasn't a blowout quarter either. With CrowdStrike's stock price roughly doubling over the past three months, investors were looking for the company to hit a home run with its earnings report. That didn't happen, and it's why we're getting a bit of a pullback in the stock.

2) Why AVGO, FIVE, and VEEV Are Falling in Early Trade

Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) fell around 14% ahead of the opening bell due to results detailing guidance below analysts' expectations, including not raising its overall artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor sales guidance for 2026. Despite this, the coming quarter's AI revenue is due to jump 200% year over year (YOY).
Five Below (NASDAQ:FIVE) dropped about 13% in pre-market trading as the latest results came with cautious second-half guidance. CFO Daniel Sullivan is assuming "tariff rates that return to levels that they were at, at the start of our fiscal year."
Veeva Systems (NYSE:VEEV) declined by over 6% before the market opened. The latest earnings revealed a slower pace of growth and lower operating margins due to heavier investments.

3) Quantinuum Goes Public as Sector Expands

Quantinuum is set to go public today, raising $1.68 billion, in what will be one of the largest tech initial public offerings (IPOs) of the year and a key test of investor appetite for quantum computing.

Shares priced above earlier expectations at $60: The company increased the price from $53 to $55 and boosted the number of shares on offer, a good sign of demand. Even after floating, Honeywell (NASDAQ:HON) will retain 48.1% of combined voting power, having been the majority owner since Quantinuum was formed in 2021.
Potential for quantum computing to have widespread adoption: The IPO is another step toward the sector gaining more traction, although challenges remain due to high development costs and technological complexity.

4) Next Up: Stock Advisor Earnings From Team RB Recs

The Toro Company (NYSE:TTC) reports before the market opens and is expected to grow revenue and earnings by 5% to 6% YOY, building on last quarter. The Dividend Investor rec has increased the dividend for 22 consecutive years.
ServiceTitan (NASDAQ:TTAN) posts results after the market closes, as investors look for continued growth in usage-based and AI-driven products, factors that helped drive a 21% revenue gain last quarter.
Lululemon (NASDAQ:LULU) should release earnings following the closing bell. Recommended by Team Hidden Gems as well, investors will be watching for progress on full-price sales recovery in North America after the region disappointed last quarter.

5) Today's Take: The Best Bet Inside SpaceX

The actual "space" part of SpaceX was a bit of an afterthought in the company's S-1, overshadowed by higher projected growth areas like AI and Starlink. I have real questions about the long-term outlook for both of those businesses, but the core rocket business has the potential to be a big moneymaker. -- Lou Whiteman, Team Hidden Gems
For me, Terafab and its proposed investments in advanced semiconductors and related equipment could prove foundational for building spacefaring data centers. -- Tim Beyers, Team Rule Breakers
