Chicago, IL – September 4, 2025 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. CRWD, Interactive Brokers Group Inc. IBKR, Robinhood Markets Inc. HOOD, Carpenter Technology Corp. CRS and Sportradar Group AG SRAD.

U.S. stock markets have continued their northward journey in 2025 following an impressive rally over the previous two years. In August, all three major stock indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — advanced 3.2%, 1.9% and 1.6%, respectively.

These three indexes recorded several all-time and closing highs last month, too. No impact of tariff-related concerns on the U.S. economy, weak labor market data and Fed Chairman’s indication of a possible rate cut in September bolstered investors’ sentiment.

At this stage, it will be prudent to invest in stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank that have momentum in September. Five such stocks are: CrowdStrike Holdings Inc., Interactive Brokers Group Inc., Robinhood Markets Inc., Carpenter Technology Corp. and Sportradar Group AG.

Each of our picks currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and has a ZacksMomentum Score of A or B. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc.

CrowdStrike Holdings, a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions in the United States and internationally, has been benefiting from the rising demand for cybersecurity solutions and the increasing need for secure networking products amid the growing hybrid working trend.

CRWD reported second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share of $0.93, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.83. Quarterly total revenues were $1.17 billion, outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.15 billion.

CRWD added a record $221 million in net new annual recurring revenues (ARR). This pushed up CrowdStrike’s total ARR to $4.66 billion, representing an increase of 20% from last year, beating the consensus mark of $4.64 billion.

A big part of this growth came from Falcon Flex, CrowdStrike’s subscription model. The company now has over 1,000 Falcon Flex customers, and more than 100 have already signed follow-on “re-Flex” deals before their contracts ended. These re-Flex deals are important because they show customers are expanding faster than expected, often boosting ARR by nearly 50%.
