#7 - CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD)
Cybersecurity is becoming a must-have service, not a nice-to-have service, and it will only continue to grow. AI is creating a new series of threats, and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) is well-positioned to help businesses of all sizes manage those threats.
One of the latest offerings from CrowdStrike is Charlotte AI, which is part of the company’s Falcon platform. Charlotte AI “enables users to unleash the transformative power of generative AI across security workflows.”
CRWD stock is up 156% in the last 12 months and 56% in 2024. Some investors may be concerned that there’s not enough upside to get involved. However, the company was just added to the S&P 500 index. This will cause more institutional investors to ensure they hold the stock in their funds, which should be enough to move the stock higher.
And even without the S&P 500 news, CrowdStrike is showing strong year-over-year revenue and earnings growth that is likely to continue.

A common mistake investors make is fear of missing out (FOMO). There's nothing wrong with getting in on a stock late if it still has room to run. However, it's hard for investors to acknowledge that they may have missed out on a stock's rally. If you get in too late (buy the top), you could be trying to chase your losses for months or years.
One way to avoid falling into the FOMO trap is by building a solid watchlist. This is a list of stocks you're not putting money into now but might if the right opportunity presents itself.
