Shares of CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) rallied to all-time highs today, up by 8% as of 12:40 p.m. EST, after getting a vote of confidence from Wall Street. Truist Securities reiterated a buy rating while raising its price target from $180 to $200.
Analyst Joel Fishbein has been evaluating the impact of the massive hack of several U.S. government agencies that originated at network management software provider SolarWinds.
