PANW 全部观点

Palo Alto Networks shares are making headlines after Bernstein downgraded the cybersecurity stock from " outperforming" to " matching" performance.

However, the company is still raising its price target as a reflection of increased demand for cybersecurity and how to leverage it amid concerns about cybersecurity risks associated with artificial intelligence .

Next up into PNW. Now, this is where all the inflow of capital went today. Cyber security stocks. Now, if we look at PanW, we were on the verge of a breakdown on PanW. You can see this from the inclining parallel channel contained from May of this year.

We've had price really do a good job maintaining within it all up until right here on September 2nd when we drop beneath, put in bearish consolidation. And then the news this weekend was the defiill PanW needed right now at this time to get back into that parallel channel, but it did not push past this declining trend line. So that right now is the line in the sand.

like Palo Alto Networks as I mentioned before. You know they they had earnings um a few weeks back uh beat those handily and and also beat the revenue estimate. Uh you know stock is as on the on the 52- week high today

Your last name though is a big beneficiary of uh the announcement uh from Dario Amade. Palo Alto Networks and the cyber names really outperforming today. Palo Alto Network's one of the top performers were up about almost 13% right now for PNW.

Yeah, they're on my radar. uh company we've owned for a long time. And yeah, I mean, it's surprising that it would take this type of news for it to to get this reaction. I'm surprised it was as low as it was.

In double digits as I mentioned for Crowdstrike, PaloAlto Networks.

Palo Alto Networks is experiencing accelerating revenue growth as a result. The management team is forecasting at least 23% growth in the fiscal year 2027 and forecasting 40% free cash flow margin by fiscal year 2028.

So, does this make Palo Alto Networks stock a buying opportunity? Let's take a look at the business and answer that question together.

Palo Alto Networks is one of the world's largest cybersecurity companies , providing security across enterprise networks, cloud infrastructure, endpoints, operations, identities, and increasingly, AI applications and AI agents as well.

The company originally built its business around next- generation firewalls , but has evolved into a much broader cybersecurity platform that aims to integrate many individual security products under a single vendor.

We're going to talk about Palo Alto Networks in particular. They are the biggest of the three, ticker symbol PANW. We're coming up actually on a decade of owning this stock. So, this is a bit of an earnings review after Q4 fiscal year 2026, but let's call it like a 10 years later review on this.

Especially now, shares are up well over 100% since March, early April, around the time of the cloud mythos moment and investors deciding actually cybersecurity is going to be a major beneficiary of AI, not a top disrupted software industry by AI.

PaloAlto Networks down a little bit on earnings. Not much though folks. So not really anything that I'm getting my attention on here again if it were to flush and there might be a little bit of an opportunity down here around 333.

Still $22 lower than current levels but nothing that I'm really focusing on.

Okay, let's talk about another one that had high expectations coming into its results, and that's Palo Alto Networks. Those shares are under a little bit of pressure, but look, um I mean, the stock was about double uh year-to-date uh in terms of its performance.

Yeah, bought a little bit higher there, and maybe the move was already built into the shares based on the fact of what we saw the uh their stock did after CrowdStrike and Okta earnings last week.

It rallied, right? Uh sitting just below record highs,

Palo Alto Networks has been seen as one of these real leaders in cyber security, but this is also pretty competitive space and so as you assess an earnings event coming off of the heels of really strong reports from some of its peers, how do you think through this name?

Yeah, I think that definitely frames it very effectively. That is Palo Alto in itself is very attractive in terms of its revenue picture and I would say it's overall fiscal performance and that is actually alongside what's going on and across the entire cyber security market segment.

Let's see if PaloAlto can buck that trend.

Uh um real quick thought from you on PaloAlto obviously because you mentioned cyber security uh earlier you expecting that to follow the pattern that we saw for instance crowd strike.

because they've got PaloAlto Networks in there as well.

Palo Alto network CEO predicts a specialized GPU specialized GPU cloud providers known as NeoClouds will see prices drop sharply once data centers and power supply catch up demand.

He argues their high valuations rely on market euphoria to fund massive capex model that could falter when supply balances out.

We've got Palo Alto. That's the one that I have not. These are two fabulous long-term investments. Both of them have smashed the market going at it in different ways.

I am a shareholder of Crowd Strike. I am not a shareholder of Palo Alto Networks. I put them in the medium category. Th this this is if you understand SAS, they're not purely SAS, but I mean if you understand SAS, you probably get this.
