Global cloud-based security platform company CrowdStrike said both revenue and net profit exceeded market expectations in its fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter results.

For the quarter ended Jan. 31, CrowdStrike posted adjusted net profit of $1.12 per share, up from $0.81 a year earlier. Revenue rose 23 percent from a year earlier to $1.31 billion. Analysts had forecast earnings of $1.10 per share and revenue of $1.30 billion.

The company said annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew 24 percent from a year earlier to $5.25 billion. ARR rose by about $330.7 million in the fourth quarter alone.

CrowdStrike launched Charlotte Agentic SOAR in November last year. The tool supports the creation of cybersecurity automation workflows made up of multiple AI agents. CrowdStrike also signed a partnership with AI cloud company CoreWeave. The focus is to make it easier for their joint customers to apply CoreWeave-based workloads.

CrowdStrike also officially launched its Falcon AI Detection and Response (AIDR) service in December. It extends the Falcon platform to the AI prompt and agent interaction layer. The company stressed that this would enable enterprises to protect all layers of enterprise AI, including data, models, agents, identities, infrastructure and interactions, on a single platform.
