Did CRWD Beat Earnings? Q4 2026 Results
CrowdStrike closed out fiscal year 2026 on a strong note, <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/03/03/live-will-crowdstrike-beat-q4-earnings-tonight/">delivering a beat on both</a> the top and bottom lines as Q4 revenue climbed 23.3% year-over-year to $1.31 billion, edging past the $1.30 billion consensus, while non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.12 topped the $1.10 estimate by 1.82%. The quarter's standout driver was a sharp acceleration in annual recurring revenue, with ending ARR reaching $5.25 billion, up 24% year-over-year, fueled by record net new ARR of $330.70 million in Q4, a 47% increase from the prior year. The Falcon Flex program proved a meaningful growth lever, with ARR from Flex accounts rising more than 120% year-over-year to $1.69 billion. On profitability, non-GAAP operating income reached $325.81 million at a 25% margin, while free cash flow hit $376.36 million for the quarter. Looking ahead, CrowdStrike guided full-year FY27 revenue of $5.87 billion to $5.93 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $4.78 to $4.90, with management pointing to a record Q1 pipeline as evidence of sustained momentum heading into the new fiscal year.
