Insights:
- P/S ratio greater than ≈ 15, where 13 is the lowest and 70 is the highest
- PER ratio greater than ≈ 50x
- Increase in annual income of ≈ 50% with high gross profit, but in the last 2 quarters they have been their first profits
- Correlation with SP500 [SPY] of ≈ 59.3%, where their behaviour only could be explained by ≈ 35.2% in the last year [LTM]
- Beta with SP500 [SPY: Benchmark] of ≈ 2.16
- "Curious" massive buy/sell ratio on 21/June/24, at its peak price
- "Curious" programming error on 19/07/24... One week later of Trump's attempt

Based on its last EPS [25/05/24 TTM] of ≈ $0.55 USD and a 250 Forward PER and a sensibility of ± 0.437x annual, a hypothetical spread could be (ceteris paribus):
- High: ≈ $ 197.58 USD
- Neutral: ≈ $ 137.5 USD
- Down: ≈ $ 77.40 USD

Hypothesis
CRWD in the next 6 months (perhaps 12), might have a distribution phase above ≈ $297 USD and an accumulation phase below ≈ $216 USD where there is a strong bearish bias due to its valuations, other quantitative parameters and "curious" events, where their future might be similar to CloudFlare.

Hedge plan example:
- Call [sell]: $390 USD
- Call [sell]: $300 USD
- Put [buy]: $210 USD
- Put [sell]: $130 USD

Risks
- Prices higher than $300 for a long time
- Prices lower than $130 for a long time.
- The neutral price of $260 or $255 is not reached at expiration
- Roll over costs (if time is not well estimated)

The best analysis is yours!
