The cybersecurity firm reported $1.47 billion in quarterly revenue and $0.31 per share, while annual recurring revenue rose 25% to $5.84 billion.
On Wednesday, CrowdStrike reported second-quarter revenue of $1.47 billion, beating analyst estimates of $1.44 billion, and raised its full-year revenue outlook to as much as $6.01 billion.
Growing adoption of AI models has intensified cybersecurity demand, with CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz calling it "the largest market opportunity in our history."

Austin, Texas-based CrowdStrike shares jumped 12% in extended trading on Wednesday, as management provided third-quarter guidance of up to $1.53 billion above analyst estimates.
Record cash flow from operations reached $530.3 million, up from $332.8 million a year earlier, while free cash flow totaled $377.4 million, strengthening CrowdStrike's financial position.
