Reading CRWD past the bookings noise

The thesis

Consumption trends stabilised two quarters before the Street will admit it.

Net revenue retention is basing, and that's the variable that re-rates the stock.

What I'm watching

• FCF margin trajectory
• billings vs revenue spread
• A clean move through the level I flag below

Positioning

Neutral / hedged on CRWD, 2-8 weeks horizon. Conviction: Medium. A macro-driven seat freeze would slow the re-rate; I size for it.
