Palo Alto Networks (PANW) has been recognized as a leader in cybersecurity, with a strong emphasis on catering to small and medium-sized businesses, akin to a 'general store' in the industry. Several analysts highlight the company's robust growth potential, driven by rising government and corporate investments in cybersecurity amidst increasing global threats. While the stock has performed impressively, with significant gains observed in recent quarters, there are concerns regarding its current valuation, perceived as high relative to earnings. Some experts recommend a cautious approach, suggesting that investors wait for price corrections before entry, noting that PANW remains a quality company amidst competitive pressures. Despite the current dip in share price and macroeconomic uncertainties, many remain optimistic about PANW's long-term prospects.

His 12-month price target is $225. Likes it, and has been adding this week. It's like the "Home Hardware" of cybersecurity, covering the whole area, and catering to small- and medium-sized businesses. Wider and deeper total addressable market than other names.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Leading next generation firewall company. Salesforce very strong. However, valuation is full right now. Would wait for share price to fall before buying. Overall, a quality company.

This sector has good secular growth, lots of cybersecurity issues, governments are investing a lot. Has done very well.

COMMENT

It's grown into an extreme valuation of 135x EBITDA. You hardly see that in the market.

0
RISKY

Look for the continued move away from hardware to software and the cloud. Also, they must beat revenue to accelerate the strong momentum of the past 8 weeks. It's overbought this year, but it can grow into an extreme valuation in coming years. Owning this means accepting volatility. Don't be surprised with a pullback.

BUY

It makes sense in terms of global unrest and cybersecurity concerns.

BUY

Gets the nod as the general store of cybersecurity.

SELL

Took profits. A tactical move to raise a bit of cash for September/October.

0
WAIT

Was down 5% last week, but popped today with the rest of the market. Still, wait on this.

0
BUY

Runway is OK. His 12-month price target is $384, so about another $30-35 to get there. Beneficiary of the CRWD fiasco. Like the general store for cybersecurity for large-, medium-, and small-caps. Caters to everyone.

After the bell, they reported top and bottom line beats with positive guidance.
