SEC filings
211
Stake 8.2M reported shares ≈ 0.8% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 12/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction Net seller — 97,024 shares ($19.8M) sold in the last year 0/15
Discipline 2 late Form 4s in 211 filings 7/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

Earnings calls

  1. Q2 FY2027 Aug 26, 2026 Kurtz spent the call arguing that one thing changed and everything else followed from it: enterprises now treat security as a precondition for adopting AI, not a cost applied after it. He called Q2 "our very best quarter in company history" and put eight records behind the claim, led by $333 million of net new ARR growing 51% year over year. His new threat framing is agents that go rogue — "a friend and foe" — and his new commercial framing is Falcon Flex, which he says has become the default way CrowdStrike sells, with more than 935 Flex accounts added in the quarter, more than the previous three quarters combined. The forward claim to hold him to is that AI Detection and Response, priced separately from the endpoint agent it runs on, could eventually be a bigger business than endpoint itself.
