CrowdStrike rises as Piper Sandler raises to 'overweight'
** Shares of cybersecurity company CrowdStrike CRWD.O up 4% at $230.74 premarket
** Piper Sandler upgrades to "overweight" from "neutral"
** While the scale of the CRWD-caused outage is unprecedented, the ramifications of the event will likely be short-lived and at negligible cost, brokerage says
** With shares down sharply for the month, we believe investors should opportunistically build positions at current levels, it adds
** However, brokerage cuts PT to $290 from $310
** CrowdStrike was sued by air travelers on Monday whose flights were delayed or canceled in last month's massive global computer outage
** Delta Air Lines DAL.N has said it may take legal action against CRWD after canceling more than 6,000 flights, at a cost of about $500 mln
** Given the strong cash flow generation, the fact that CRWD carries insurance for this type of incident, we have little concern about the cost side of the equation, says Piper Sandler
** CRWD down 35% since the global outage, taking its YTD losses to 13%
