CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc., CRWD

On May 8, 2026, board director Sameer Gandhi sold 17,527 CRWD stock for roughly $9.23 million. The sales were executed at prices ranging from $525.01 to $528.52 per share.

The stock was trading at around $520.74 on the day of the transactions. It has since climbed to $542.26, sitting close to its 52-week high of $566.90.

Gandhi’s sales were made through Potomac Investments L.P. – Fund 1, an entity he controls indirectly. That fund still holds 745,456 CRWD stock following the transactions.

Gandhi also holds CRWD stock through a web of other entities, including over 3.4 million through Accel Leaders Fund L.P., and additional positions through several other Accel and Potomac trusts. He disclaims beneficial ownership over most of these beyond his direct financial interest.

On the same day, CEO George Kurtz sold 1,902 CRWD stock, a smaller transaction but one that adds to a broader pattern.

Over the past year, Kurtz has sold a total of 187,790 CRWD stock and has not made a single purchase. That mirrors the company-wide insider trend — 64 insider sells and zero buys in the past 12 months.

Both sales were executed under pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plans, a common mechanism that allows insiders to sell stock on a fixed schedule, removing potential accusations of trading on non-public information.

The Form 4 filings were submitted to the SEC on May 11, 2026.

Valuation Flags From Two Sources

InvestingPro data flags CRWD as currently overvalued relative to its Fair Value estimate. GuruFocus places its GF Value at $488.23 per share — below the $520.74 price at the time of the transactions — giving a price-to-GF-Value ratio of 1.07.

Despite those flags, the stock has performed well. CRWD is up 14% in the past week and 26% over the past year. CrowdStrike carries a market cap of approximately $137.9 billion.
