The global risk factors like Beta, Momentum, and Residual Volatility were highly rewarded, while Earnings Quality, Value, and Growth were detracted. Further, in U.S. small and mid-cap growth indexes, better returns came from stocks with either high valuations, negative earnings, or low returns on equity.

TimesSquare Capital U.S. Focus Growth Strategy stated the following regarding CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Among our holdings, we trimmed CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) as it gained 44%. A cloud-based endpoint security provider that secures a range of devices, endpoints, and cloud environments, CrowdStrike benefited early in the quarter as cybersecurity was one of the most resilient areas in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. In June, its results were higher than anticipated, especially with gains in net new annual recurring revenues, which are also expected to double in the next fiscal year. There were some lingering impacts from last year’s outage, but with the resulting customer retention rebates about to expire, we expect CrowdStrike’s revenues will continue reaccelerating.”
