From that sector I have only the mentioned $CRWD so far and I have been gradually adding more.

$CRWD looks good to me. The company's down about 6% in the aftermarket right now, so I might overbuy.

The stock is down about 5% almost every other day now, and even then it still seems to me that the stock is still pretty overvalued.

I wasn't familiar with this company, but I'd rather buy shares of the bigger companies, so either $PANW or $CRWD.
