1. CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 79

Cybersecurity software provider CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)’s shares are up by 55% over the past year and by 61% year-to-date. Morgan Stanley discussed the firm on May 20th as it raised the share price target to $610 from $510 and kept an Overweight rating on the stock. The bank remarked that CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) was benefiting from the growth in AI-enabled threat detection, its Falcon platform and large enterprise deals. With the surge in the shares, Cramer has been eager to remind everyone that he was bullish about CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) and other cybersecurity stocks while the market had doubted them in the aftermath of Anthropic’s cybersecurity announcements. He maintained the theme in this appearance as well:

“One of the stocks that was most beaten down during that period when Anthropic was saying, hey, we’ll do this, we’ll do that, we’ll do cybersecurity, was CrowdStrike. And George Kurtz came on twice at the show and said, listen, we’re actually a winner. We’re the ones whose gonna be protecting you from the things that go wrong, like the Mythos. Well take a look at it, it’s been, George got the word out, George finally explained it. Jefferies comes out and says, they expect 275 million in new net annual return. That would be incredible and by the way, they report next week and I think George is going to put out a great number. It is some people think, now with Palantir coming down, the richest company of any company, in terms of how expensive the multiple. I come out and say, the amount of business that they’re doing is unfathomable. And only Dell has been beating them.”
