BUY

Just reported a huge $6 billion cash flow which the company can use to crush competitors.

PARTIAL SELL

He just trimmed shares. He bought at $150+ and it's had a great move in a short time. He took some off the table, but is hanging onto the rest. The valuation is not cheap. He will buy this back at $150 and he's willing to take that risk.

BUY

Yes, it isn't cheap at 50x forward PE and it's made a sharp move up lately, but there remains earnings appreciation ahead with strong billings. Strong Fed contracts are coming, too. Businesses won't cut cybersecurity spending.

BUY

He owns CHKP instead, but PANW has done a good job. Cybersecurity is a very important area to own. Secular growth area. US government is putting a lot of investment in. Lots of room to grow.

BUY

The only cybersecurity stock he likes. Great CEO. He'd buy it right now.

BUY

Continues to like PANW and cybersecurity, which won't slow down whatever happens to the economy. The last report boasted 25% revenue growth and 50% revenue growth. PANW is expensive with a 40x PE, but they are moving more into the cloud, and the cloud keeps growing. Still a runway here.

BUY

It's the best-run cybersecurity company by far in a business that has a strong future. PANW just delivered a monster quarter with an great earnings beat and forecast. Shares are hovering above 52-week lows. Buy now and add more on weakness.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks True, the company became profitable only in the last quarter. Further, Palo Alto trades at a high PE and pays no dividend (normal for a tech stock), but its billings are up 27% over the year. Palo Alto is moving towards more subscriptions, which will expand their margins. Revenues jumped 25% in Q1 to $1.6 billion, and the company’s free cash flow margin is projected to expand to around 35% of revenue this fiscal year. That will allow Palo Alto make strategic acquisitions and buy back shares. Read 3 Recently Upgraded Stocks to Buy for our full analysis.

BUY

They're profitable and the high-PE tech stocks have come down to levels that look good.

BUY

Still pricey at a 50x forward PE, but billings were 27% and is down only 8% YTD vs. the Nasdaq. Cybersecurity as a whole enjoys tailwinds as enterprise spending will endure. He continues to like it.

TOP PICK

Cybersecurity has been the shining place this year. One of the biggest in the space. Great array of tools in their suite. Price target of $284.00. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $215.89)

COMMENT

Palo Alto vs. Fortinet The cybersecurity business is growing 9% annually. Palo is moving towards a higher-margin subscription business, which translates into 25% earnings growth each year. A concern though is that Palo became profitable only in the last quarter. So, he prefers Fortinet which has been profitable since 2016.

BUY

Her pick in cybersecurity. Look at their free cash flow yield and revenue growth and not just their PE. This is flat for the year, but peers have fallen lower. Likes it for their $2 billion of free cash flow and 4.5% free cash flow yield.

BUY

The best in breed cybersecurity stock. Cybersecurity is essential to corporate America. It just delivered blow-away numbers.

BUY

A favourite of his that's been sideways lately, even after a great quarter three months ago. Today, they delivered an earnings beat, in-line sales and a strong full-year forecast. Shares jumped after hours. They added $950 million in share buybacks and announced a 3-for-1 stock split.
