SentinelOne (NYSE:S) delivered a revenue beat and a record operating margin, yet a trimmed full-year profit outlook is what investors focused on Friday morning. The reaction pulled the broader cybersecurity group lower even as the S&P 500 held steady, a rare split between a specific-name catalyst and the broad market. SentinelOne stock is down 8% to $20.94 after the company trimmed full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $0.31 at the midpoint.
Meanwhile, CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD) stock is down 7% to $210.98 in a sympathy move, despite the company reporting its own strong quarter earlier this week. The First Trust NASDAQ Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:CIBR) is down 0.7% to $100.13, reflecting the sector giving back ground broadly. At the same time, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) is up 0.1% to $771.74, so the broad market holds firm while cybersecurity trims a stretch of very strong gains.
