Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. <\/p>\n

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 12:51 ET \u2014 Regular session<\/p>\n

CrowdStrike shares fell 3.6% to $451.74 in midday trading after opening the year on the back foot.<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity ETFs lagged, with Global X Cybersecurity (BUG) down about 2.2%.<\/p>\n

Peers Zscaler and SentinelOne were down more than 4%, adding to pressure on the group.<\/p>\n

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. shares were down 3.6% at $451.74 on Friday, sliding more than the broader market as cybersecurity stocks pulled back on the first regular session of 2026.<\/p>\n

The move matters because investors often reset portfolios at the start of a new year, and richly valued software names can see outsized swings when risk appetite shifts.<\/p>\n

Macro focus is also returning after the holidays. Reuters reported investors are bracing for a batch of delayed U.S. economic releases and watching for fresh signals on the Federal Reserve\u2019s policy path \u2014 factors that can quickly reprice growth stocks.<\/p>\n

Broader U.S. stocks were mixed as the session progressed, with Reuters describing early gains fading after the opening bell.<\/p>\n

Sector gauges showed the weakness was not confined to one name. The Global X Cybersecurity ETF was down about 2.2%, while the HACK cybersecurity ETF fell about 1.4%.<\/p>\n

Peer stocks were also under pressure. Zscaler and SentinelOne were off more than 4%, and Fortinet slid about 2%, while Palo Alto Networks was modestly lower.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you turn the page for a new year \u2026 you\u2019re waiting to see \u2026 the vibe for the coming year,\u201d said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at Globalt.<\/p>\n

CrowdStrike traded between $449.49 and $467.07 on the day, after opening at $464.70. About 3.9 million shares had changed hands by midday.<\/p>\n

The stock remains about 23% below its 52-week high of $586.77, even after gaining roughly 76% from its 52-week low of $256.70 \u2014 a setup that can attract profit-taking when the sector cools.<\/p>\n

CrowdStrike sells its Falcon platform \u2014 cloud-delivered software that helps companies detect and respond to intrusions \u2014 on a subscription model that aims to generate recurring revenue. Reuters<\/p>\n

In its last earnings update in early December, CrowdStrike forecast stronger fourth-quarter revenue as demand benefited from customers adopting AI across security workflows, Reuters reported. Reuters<\/p>\n

What investors are watching next is the company\u2019s next set of results after its Jan. 31 fiscal year-end, with attention likely on annual recurring revenue (ARR) \u2014 the subscription revenue base expected over 12 months \u2014 and customer retention. Reuters<\/p>\n

For the rest of Friday\u2019s session, the $450 level is in focus after the stock briefly slipped below it. Traders will also be watching incoming U.S. data for rate-cut expectations and the market\u2019s appetite for high-growth software into the first full week of 2026.<\/p>\n
