CrowdStrike sinks after-hours following the release of its second-quarter earnings

Shares of cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike fell by more than 6% after-hours, following the release of the company’s second-quarter earnings report.

CrowdStrike posted earnings of $0.93 per share, better than the $0.83 earnings per share analysts expected. Its quarterly revenue grew 21% year over year to $1.17 billion, better than the $1.15 billion consensus from analysts polled by FactSet. Annual recurring revenue climbed 20% to $4.66 billion.

The company’s third-quarter revenue guidance — between $1.21 billion and $1.22 billion — came in slightly below Wall Street estimates.

The second quarter marked the one-year anniversary of CrowdStrike’s massive IT outage last July that caused thousands of flight cancellations globally. Costs related to the outage have reached more than $75 million on the year.

CrowdStrike on Wednesday afternoon also announced plans to acquire Onum, a company that specializes in data management.

eBay stock slumps on gloomy Q4 outlook despite solid Q3 earnings

Shares of eBay fell as much as 10.5% in premarket trading on Thursday morning after the company gave a lower-than-expected profit forecast for the important holiday shopping season.

The e-commerce giant reported solid numbers for the third quarter on Wednesday, with revenue up 9% as reported to $2.8 billion and gross merchandise volume rising 10% to $20.1 billion, topping the average analyst forecast of $19.4 billion, per Bloomberg.

However, concerns about the future somewhat overshadowed these results.

eBay outlined its profit outlook for the period ending in December to $1.31 to $1.36 a share, with revenue at $2.83 billion to $2.89 billion. According to Bloomberg-compiled data, this broadly matches Wall Street’s estimates for the top line, but misses on the bottom line, with analysts forecasting EPS to come in at $1.39 — suggesting the company expects some further margin pressure.

The company has been facing macroeconomic challenges since the US ended the de minimis tariff exemption in late August, with the online marketplace reliant on shipments. One small silver lining? CFO Peggy Alford highlighted a “less durable trend” on a post-earnings call: that as commodity prices for precious metals boomed, demand for bullion and collectible coins on eBay spiked.
