Kim Bolton CyberArk Software Ltd. CYBR-Q PAST TOP PICK Aug 13, 2025

(A Top Pick Aug 28/24, Up 51%)

Being acquired by PANW, but still trading. Strong execution. Usually in a takeover situation, he lightens up or lets the whole position go. But he's still holding because thinks so well of management. Plus, closing is not until Q2 or Q3 of next year, so anything could happen in the meantime including a competing bid.

He owns a little bit of FTNT still. A cyber security company that has been aggressive on the sales and marketing side. However, in this space he would prefer CYBR.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly CYBR is cybersecurity company that will benefit from remote and work-from-home environments. Its latest EPS of $0.42, exceeded expectations for $0.27. Recurring license revenue is up 25% on the year. The stock has been on a tear lately, so we would look to purchase on a pullback towards $107. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $125.70)
WAIT
Leader in cybersecurity in the privileged access management segment. Security breaches are inherently becoming a real threat to businesses. He took profits. Wait for better entry point. Stock should get into the lower $150s-high 140s.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Certainly a growing sector that will become more and more important. Recently started adding to this sector's exposure. With the recent correction, it is a good moment to add to your position.
BUY
Cybersecurity has been immune to swings in tech stocks. We should see good numbers from CYBR when they report Wednesday. CYBR is considered best in show; they serve the top executive level in business.
TOP PICK

Israel-based. Leader in privileged access management (PAM) segment of cybersecurity. PAM is where a lot of security breaches actually happen, either internally or with customers. Identity security, workforce identity, customer identity, secrets management. No dividend.

His price target is $320, about 15-16% from here. Buy here around $280, and add around $265, and $255. Shouldn't go under $250. Not cheap, but a beneficiary of the CRWD debacle. Similar to WiZ, which GOOG was going to buy.

(Analysts’ price target is $308.32)
BUY

A name to look at in cybersecurity.
