Lately, U.S. stocks have been on fire again. If you were already holding positions, congrats — you’ve made good gains. But if you're looking to enter the market now, it definitely feels tricky. That’s why I started digging into some of my watchlist stocks again.

And one name stood out after a recent drop:
SentinelOne (Ticker: S)

📊 Financials (in million USD)

 

Year Revenue Net Income Total Assets Total Debt Debt Ratio EPS (Diluted)

2021	93.1	–117.6	112.5	336.7	299.4%	–0.27
2022	204.8	–271.1	520.6	841.1	161.6%	–0.55
2023	422.2	–378.7	2,042.2	391.4	19.2%	–1.56
2024	621.2	–338.7	2,258.9	602.2	26.7%	–1.36

 

 

✅ Revenue is growing rapidly
✅ Debt ratio has significantly improved
⚠️ Still operating at a loss — the turning point will be critical for valuation

This is exactly why I’m paying close attention:
The company is growing fast, but the stock hasn’t reflected it — yet.

🔻 Recent Stock Drop – What Happened?

After earnings, SentinelOne stock plunged 14% in one day, falling to $16.90.

 

Key Reasons:

• Earnings miss
• Lowered full-year guidance
• Slowing ARR growth
• Rising competition & cautious enterprise spending
• Downgrades from analysts

 

Yes — the company missed expectations.
But let's not overlook the fact that:

✔️ Revenue still grew over 30% YoY
✔️ Free cash flow turned positive

This wasn't about the company failing — it was about overhyped expectations. The fundamentals remain solid.

 

🔐 The Future of Cybersecurity

 

With the rise of AI and cloud infrastructure, demand for automated threat response is exploding.
Governments and enterprises now need proactive cybersecurity, and that’s exactly where SentinelOne excels.

When the stock takes a sharp dip like this, it may be a solid entry point — if you understand the risk.
Since the company is still unprofitable, dollar-cost averaging or partial buying makes sense.

 

 

 

🔎 CrowdStrike – A Lesson from the Leader

 

If you research cybersecurity stocks, you’ll run into CrowdStrike (CRWD).
It too suffered a big drop after the infamous Windows hack but came roaring back.
This shows that high-quality cybersecurity firms rebound — because demand never dies.

So if you’ve been watching SentinelOne and thinking “I’ll wait for the dip”…

 

 

 

Well, this just might be it.
