CrowdStrike stock received a more bullish analyst view on November 2, when Deutsche Bank upgraded the cybersecurity company from Hold to Buy and raised its price target from 240 to 300 US dollars. The assessment adds a new analyst angle to the company’s recent push into AI security.

The change from the previous Ad Hoc News report was also measurable in the latest Lang & Schwarz quote: CrowdStrike stock traded at 199.16 euros at 16:03 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026. The move from 195.21 euros at 13:38 CET in that report was 2.02 percent. This comparison is separate from any Xetra session result.

Deutsche Bank sees wider demand

According to Ad Hoc News, analyst Brad Zelnick argued that investors may be underestimating how far AI adoption can expand the market for cybersecurity services. He said CrowdStrike’s projected 565 billion US dollar total addressable market for 2034 could prove conservative as companies deploy more AI systems and autonomous agents.

The analyst case centers on CrowdStrike’s endpoint leadership, its Falcon platform and its position in AI security. The company has announced planned acquisitions of Fiddler AI and Dreadnode, introduced an AI Kill Switch in Falcon Guardian and deepened its partnership with Nvidia on real-time AI security agents.

Growth case still needs execution

Deutsche Bank expects CrowdStrike to reach its 10 billion US dollar annual recurring revenue target for fiscal 2030 ahead of schedule. That outlook depends on sustained AI-related demand, successful integration of new capabilities and the company’s ability to convert a broader security opportunity into recurring revenue.
