Analyst caution on CrowdStrike is no big deal — and how our other cyber name can beat the bears
Every weekday the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a "Morning Meeting" livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here's a recap of Monday's key moments. 1. Wall Street is having a slow start to the new week of trading. It's not a total surprise given we're coming off back-to-back winning weeks and many of the biggest events this week — Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech and earnings from retail bellwether Walmart — aren't for a few days. With Powell's speech on Friday morning, Director of Portfolio Analysis Jeff Marks noted that the big debate is whether Powell will tee up a September interest rate cut or focus instead on providing a longer-term monetary policy framework. "Should be market-moving," Jeff said. In addition to Walmart on Thursday, we'll hear from Club retailers Home Depot on Tuesday and TJX Companies on Wednesday. 2. We're not sweating Evercore ISI issuing a short-term negative call on CrowdStrike , one of our two pure-play cybersecurity stocks, ahead of its earnings report next week. "I'm always wary of these tactical calls in either direction," Jeff said. Evercore is concerned that its "subdued" channel checks combined with CrowdStrike's premium valuation could lead to a post-earnings pullback. That wouldn't be out of the ordinary, Jeff said, with shares averaging a 5.5% decline in response to its past three earnings reports. We've viewed those as buying opportunities, though. "If you want to hold off on buying it before earnings given the history I just said, I think that's reasonable as well," Jeff said. 3. Before we hear from CrowdStrike, we get results from cyber peer Palo Alto Networks after Monday's close. "It hasn't been a great earnings season for some cybersecurity names. We'll hope to see Palo Alto buck that trend this evening," Jeff said. In particular, we're looking for confirmation that Palo Alto's blockbuster CyberArk acquisition was not executed because its core business is slowing down — that's been a key prong of the bear case against the deal. We haven't bought into it, though, and accordingly added to our position a week ago at nearly $170 a share. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long HD, TJX, PANW and CRWD.

Criminals, good guys and foreign spies: Hackers everywhere are using AI now
This summer, Russia's hackers put a new twist on the barrage of phishing emails sent to Ukrainians. The hackers included an attachment containing an artificial intelligence program. If installed, it would automatically search the victims' computers for sensitive files to send back to Moscow. That campaign, detailed in July in technical reports from the Ukrainian government and several cybersecurity companies, is the first known instance of Russian intelligence being caught building malicious code with large language models (LLMs), the type of AI chatbots that have become ubiquitous in corporate culture. Those Russian spies are not alone. In recent months, hackers of seemingly every stripe — cybercriminals, spies, researchers and corporate defenders alike — have started including AI tools into their work. LLMs, like ChatGPT, are still error-prone. But they have become remarkably adept at processing language instructions and at translating plain language into computer code, or identifying and summarizing documents. The technology has so far not revolutionized hacking by turning complete novices into experts, nor has it allowed would-be cyberterrorists to shut down the electric grid. But it's making skilled hackers better and faster. Cybersecurity firms and researchers are using AI now, too — feeding into an escalating cat-and-mouse game between offensive hackers who find and exploit software flaws and the defenders who try to fix them first. 'It's the beginning of the beginning. Maybe moving towards the middle of the beginning,' said Heather Adkins, Google's vice president of security engineering. In 2024, Adkins' team started on a project to use Google's LLM, Gemini, to hunt for important software vulnerabilities, or bugs, before criminal hackers could find them. Earlier this month, Adkins announced that her team had so far discovered at least 20 important overlooked bugs in commonly used software and alerted companies so they can fix them. That process is ongoing. None of the vulnerabilities have been shocking or something only a machine could have discovered, she said. But the process is simply faster with an AI. 'I haven't seen anybody find something novel,' she said. 'It's just kind of doing what we already know how to do. But that will advance.' Adam Meyers, a senior vice president at the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, said that not only is his company using AI to help people who think they've been hacked, he sees increasing evidence of its use from the Chinese, Russian, Iranian and criminal hackers that his company tracks. 'The more advanced adversaries are using it to their advantage,' he said. 'We're seeing more and more of it every single day,' he told NBC News. The shift is only starting to catch up with hype that has permeated the cybersecurity and AI industries for years, especially since ChatGPT was introduced to the public in 2022. Those tools haven't always proved effective, and some cybersecurity researchers have complained about would-be hackers falling for fake vulnerability findings generated with AI. Scammers and social engineers — the people in hacking operations who pretend to be someone else, or who write convincing phishing emails — have been using LLMs to seem more convincing since at least 2024. But using AI to directly hack targets is only just starting to actually take off, said Will Pearce, the CEO of DreadNode, one of a handful of new security companies that specialize in hacking using LLMs. The reason, he said, is simple: The technology has finally started to catch up to expectations. 'The technology and the models are all really good at this point,' he said. Less than two years ago, automated AI hacking tools would need significant tinkering to do their job properly, but they are now far more adept, Pearce told NBC News. Another startup built to hack using AI, Xbow, made history in June by becoming the first AI to climb to the top of the HackerOne U.S. leaderboard, a live scoreboard of hackers around the world that since 2016 has kept tabs on the hackers identifying the most important vulnerabilities and giving them bragging rights. Last week, HackerOne added a new category for groups automating AI hacking tools to distinguish them from individual human researchers. Xbow still leads that. Hackers and cybersecurity professionals have not settled whether AI will ultimately help attackers or defenders more. But at the moment, defense appears to be winning. Alexei Bulazel, the senior cyber director at the White House National Security Council, said at a panel at the Def Con hacker conference in Las Vegas last week that the trend will hold, at least as long as the U.S. holds most of the world's most advanced tech companies. 'I very strongly believe that AI will be more advantageous for defenders than offense,' Bulazel said. He noted that hackers finding extremely disruptive flaws in a major U.S. tech company is rare, and that criminals often break into computers by finding small, overlooked flaws in smaller companies that don't have elite cybersecurity teams. AI is particularly helpful in discovering those bugs before criminals do, he said. 'The types of things that AI is better at — identifying vulnerabilities in a low cost, easy way — really democratizes access to vulnerability information,' Bulazel said. That trend may not hold as the technology evolves, however. One reason is that there is so far no free-to-use automatic hacking tool, or penetration tester, that incorporates AI. Such tools are already widely available online, nominally as programs that test for flaws in practices used by criminal hackers. If one incorporates an advanced LLM and it becomes freely available, it likely will mean open season on smaller companies' programs, Google's Adkins said. 'I think it's also reasonable to assume that at some point someone will release [such a tool],' she said. 'That's the point at which I think it becomes a little dangerous.' Meyers, of CrowdStrike, said that the rise of agentic AI — tools that conduct more complex tasks, like both writing and sending emails or executing code that programs — could prove a major cybersecurity risk. 'Agentic AI is really AI that can take action on your behalf, right? That will become the next insider threat, because, as organizations have these agentic AI deployed, they don't have built-in guardrails to stop somebody from abusing it,' he said.

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (CRWD): 'I Think It's Terrific,' Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)'s shares have gained 25.81% year-to-date as the firm has moved past last year's historic outage, which bricked millions of computers worldwide. However, its journey on the market in 2025 has been quite bumpy as the shares fell by 6% in June after the firm disappointed investors with its fiscal second quarter revenue estimates. While analysts had penciled CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) to earn $1.16 billion in revenue, the firm's high-end guidance projected $1.15 billion in sales as it also warned that Q2 free cash flow would drop by $29 million due to outage and other expenses. Cramer commented on CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)'s valuation: 'Oh Crowdstrike is what, the second most high valuation company after, Palantir. But I don't care. I think its terrific.' Here are his earlier comments about CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD): 'No, you got, look, you have the best. Okay, you are in the best, other than Palo Alto… Here's what you're going to do: You're going to take out your cost basis, and then you're going to let the rest run. And I'll see you at $1,000.' While we acknowledge the potential of CRWD as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
