CrowdStrike is set to release its Q1 earnings results on Tuesday, Jun. 3.
Ahead of the event, analysts expect CRWD to report a loss of $0.28 per share, down 240% from a profit of $0.20 in the year-ago quarter. The company has surpassed Wall Street's earnings estimates in two of the last four quarters while missing on two other occasions.
