MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Why the Treasury still prices gold at 42 dollars an ounce (Ad)

The U.S. Treasury still values its gold reserves at 42.22 dollars an ounce, a price set in 1973. Gold trades near 4,500 dollars today, a 113-to-1 gap between book value and market reality. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said he wants to monetize the asset side of the balance sheet. A revaluation could add more than 1 trillion dollars to the government's books overnight. Certain gold miners still trade as if gold were under 2,000 dollars, even as prices near record highs.tc pixel

CrowdStrike
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.:

  • CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. reported strong second-quarter fiscal year 2027 results with revenue of $1.47 billion, a 25% year-over-year increase, and adjusted earnings per share of 31 cents, which beat analyst expectations and signals robust demand for its cybersecurity platform.
  • The company is experiencing explosive growth in its Falcon Flex product, with annual recurring revenue for this module reaching over $2.29 billion, a 101% year-over-year gain, driven by enterprise concerns over the security risks associated with agentic artificial intelligence.
  • Management raised its full-year fiscal 2027 net new annual recurring revenue outlook to between $1.35 billion and $1.359 billion, representing a 34% year-over-year increase, which significantly exceeds the prior guidance of 22.5% and indicates accelerating customer adoption.
  • Free cash flow increased by 33% year-over-year to $377 million, demonstrating the company's ability to generate substantial cash from operations while investing in its platform, a key metric for evaluating the financial health of software companies.
  • As of September 6, 2026, the stock is trading at $213.10, reflecting a significant recovery from its 52-week low of $85.68 and positioning it near its 52-week high of $233.88, which suggests strong investor confidence in its recent performance and strategic direction.

CrowdStrike
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. for these reasons:

  • The company faces intense competition from other cybersecurity firms such as Palo Alto Networks, which recently posted its best quarter on record and rallied over 113% between April and June 2026, indicating that CrowdStrike is not the sole beneficiary of the growing AI security market.
  • CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. trades at a premium valuation with a P/E ratio of 5327.50, which is extremely high compared to traditional metrics, suggesting that investors are paying a significant price for future growth that may not materialize as expected.
  • Recent insider selling activity includes CEO George Kurtz selling 10,000 shares at an average price of $204.90 on September 2, 2026, and President Michael Sentonas selling 77,468 shares in March 2026, which may signal that company executives are taking profits or are less confident in the stock's near-term upside.
  • The stock has experienced volatility, including a 7.75% decline in the week leading up to September 5, 2026, and a 4% drop on September 4, 2026, as the broader cybersecurity sector faced pressure from peers like Zscaler issuing cautious growth guidance.
  • Short interest in the stock increased significantly, with shares shorted rising to 24,164,922 as of August 14, 2026, up from 7,135,732 in June 2026, indicating that a growing number of investors are betting against the stock's future performance.
