Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike (CRWD) made an amazing comeback from a situation that would have stunted others. A faulty software upgrade in July 2024 idled millions of computers for a few hours.
CrowdStrike stock plunged after the incident. Crowning its comeback it earned a spot on the latest IBD Stocks To Watch list Friday. CrowdStrike on Friday also led a dozen newcomers onto various IBD top stock lists

Other additions to the lists include biotech Argenx (ARGX), AI play Bloom Energy (BE), gold miner Orla Mining (ORLA) and drugs and transplant organ specialist United Therapeutics (UTHR).
Keeping your watchlist up to date is key to making money in the stock market. IBD helps you do that by regularly updating stock screens like the IBD 50, IBD Sector Leaders, IBD Big Cap 20 and IPO Leaders. In the tables below, you can see which stocks have just been added to or removed from these lists.
Each list helps identify the best stocks to buy and watch by using The IBD Methodology, which looks for stocks displaying the same common traits typically shared by the best-performing stocks in the early stages of their big price moves.

Swift Action Helped CrowdStrike Customers Recover
CrowdStrike’s cloud-based artificial intelligence-powered software platform today offers a variety of security solutions. The Austin, Texas-based company saw its stock go from a 200.81 low in August 2024 after the incident, to a 537.55 close Friday. The company responded quickly to the problem and has continued to improve and add to its product catalog.
Keep in mind that you should never buy a stock just because it’s on an IBD list. Always do your own research and run all your stock ideas through a buying checklist. You can also streamline your investing process with IBD’s simple three-step routine to quickly track general market trends, find stocks to watch, and pinpoint the best time to buy and sell.
