(Photo illustration by Cheng Xin/Getty Images) Getty Images  CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD), a cybersecurity firm, is slated to release earnings on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. For event-driven traders, reviewing how the stock has behaved around prior earnings announcements can offer useful perspective.  Over the past five years, CrowdStrike’s one-day move after earnings has been evenly split between gains and losses. In 50% of instances, the stock posted a positive one-day return with a median gain of 9.8%. In the remaining 50%, it recorded a negative one-day return with a median decline of -5.6%.  Although the actual results and management guidance typically drive the largest moves, these historical tendencies can still inform positioning. Given the equal split between positive and negative one-day outcomes, trading solely on the event is challenging. Traders might weigh two broad approaches:  Pre-earnings positioning: Use the historical odds to shape risk-taking ahead of the print.  Post-earnings positioning: Examine how immediate reactions relate to short- and medium-term returns to guide follow-on trades.  While earnings can introduce volatility, the longer-term picture has favored investors: since early January 2021, CrowdStrike has advanced about 100%, rising from roughly $210 to $420, far outpacing the S&amp;P 500’s approximately 70% increase over the same span.  Analysts currently expect earnings of $0.83 per share on revenue of $1.15 billion for the latest quarter, versus $1.04 per share on revenue of $964 million a year ago.  From a fundamentals angle, CrowdStrike’s market capitalization stands at $104 billion. Over the last twelve months, the company generated $4.1 billion in revenue but was not operationally profitable, with operating losses of $252 million and a net loss of $172 million.

It has comfortably outperformed its benchmark—a blend of the S&amp;P 500, Russell, and S&amp;P MidCap indexes—and has delivered returns exceeding 91% since inception.

In summary, positive 1D returns were seen about 50% of the time.  The percentage remains the same at 50% if we consider data for the last 3 years instead of 5.  Median of the 10 positive returns = 9.8%, and median of the 10 negative returns = -5.6%  Additional data for observed 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns post earnings are summarized along with the statistics in the table below.  CRWD 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return Trefis  Correlation Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns  A relatively lower-risk tactic (though not helpful if correlations are weak) is to study relationships between short-term and medium-term moves after earnings, identify the pair with the highest correlation, and trade accordingly. For example, if 1D and 5D exhibit the strongest link, a trader could lean “long” for the following 5 days when the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is correlation data using a 5-year history and a more recent 3-year window. Here, 1D_5D denotes the correlation between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns.

At times, peer outcomes can influence post-earnings reactions—sometimes even before the report as expectations get priced in.

Peer returns also reflect post-earnings 1D moves for a fair comparison.
