PANW vs. FTNT vs. CHKP

He used to own CHKP. Both PANW and FTNT are strong businesses, market leaders in the space and taking market share away from CHKP.

Challenge is that PANW and FTNT are really strong in this industry. Good for the consumer, but may not be good for the businesses in that space. At 46x PE, PANW is really expensive, growth needed to justify that valuation is substantial, high valuation keeps him on the sidelines.

Look at the space as a whole to see if you want to be involved, rather than choosing just one player. Does like the aspect of customer "stickiness" in that once a customer signs up, switching costs are high.

Cybersecurity has become such an important area. Governments around the world are looking as it. Huge investments in coming years at government and corporate levels. Strong secular growth. Need has increased because, since Covid, people no longer work in just one spot.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

In cyber security. Offers stable growth and is well-managed. Doesn't like that they pay no dividend. It's a mature company, good. Low beta. Perhaps buy this in a recession. Prefers this to Palo Alto.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 10/21, Up 15%) Cybersecurity, one of the really big growth areas in tech. Moving to SaaS, which slowed down growth. New products took some time. Growing earnings in an area that will continue to grow rapidly, especially for corporations and the cloud. Moving offsite increases security issues.

BUY
Owns stock and likes the tremendous returns on capital/asset light business. Losing market position to competitors. Developing new products that are state of the art. Deferred revenue at 12-14%, is a great predictor of growth.

An Israeli cyber-security firm. Great balance sheet with no debt. Free cashflow growth is positive. The company is a SaaS and revenues have been lumpy over the past little while. Next year should be better. Cyber security is a big issue around the world. An area that will continue to grow and this company can grow with the sector successfully over the next few years.
