Top Cyber Security Stocks to buy in 2019

A company that provides robust data storage, split into different locations. Great for utilities.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The stock drifted along under $12 through 2022 to August when it moved up to about $16 which held to the start of November when it fell to its month-end close of $13.24. ABST is a leading provider of self-healing endpoint and secure access solutions.…

It's hoping to win more contracts as well as benefit from AI. Every single company is trying to implement AI into their products. Slow-growing business, more acquisition-based. Hasn't knocked it out of the park. A quite reasonable valuation. Actively looking at, would love to buy on a material pullback.

If you want to be in tech, you're looking for more growth than this provides. Not a robust revenue pipeline. A lot better companies out there such as NVDA. See his Top Picks.

ETF for cybersecurity. He used to use this. When you're learning about a space, you go to the ETF. Be aware of the valuation. He'd recommend that you can pick leaders within that, rather than buying them all through the ETF. Try FTNT, S, PANW or CYBR.

If want sector theme in cyber security - can be a good option. Depends on investor portfolio weighting. Likes the ETF and the overall direction of the cyber security sector (becoming more and more important). Best option for most people who don't have the time to research specific companies. 

(A Top Pick May 01/23, Up 34%) A leader especially in edge computing. Gecko brings AI right to the edge. Active on acquisitions. February reporting was shy on revenues, but kept to guidance. Price target of $128.25, still decent runway. Can buy it here, more at $100, and $95 would be a great place to…

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.…

Among the biggest losers on the S&P in 2021 #7, down 27%. This software company could be put up for sale, pushed by activists. He has no idea what CTRX is worth. They used to be the king of business collaboration software. He once loved their product. Now, there are too many competitors.

Owns shares in the company and is one of the largest shareholders. Performance of stock price has been excellent. Very strong company with excellent management team. Expecting demand for defense technology will be higher as global tensions persist.

Poster child when it comes to security as a service. Offer software instead of hardware, and the first to get in, so they have a lead. Instead, he owns Palo Alto and Splunk on the cybersecurity side. But it's on their shopping list, once markets settle down.

Interesting company. Basically they monitor Internet to servers. Came out in March with some really disastrous earnings, but since then have come out with 2 really good quarters. Business has really picked up for them. Customers have come back. Have some new products out there. Really good cash flow going now.

A lot of write downs in the business in the last earnings report. Losing market share - chips not as good as competitors. Hard to tell whether business will be able to compete in the future. Not well positioned for A.I. demands. Might be able to find a niche in the sector - but had…

(A Top Pick Nov 03/20, Up 59.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with JNPR has triggered its stop at $32. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.

He hates to say this, but the world will remain a violent place. 

Returns almost 20% over the past 10 years. A great, long-term chart. Are tensions in the Middle East, Ukraine and China encourage defense spending. So it's a growth story. Enjoys insider spending. (Analysts’ price target is $516.19)

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

A cybersecurity company that protects email. He likes their international growth opportunities. They seem to be latching onto Microsoft Office's 365; the more MSFT goes into the cloud, the more customers will need email protection, which is where PFPT comes in. He sees 25% upside in the next 12 months. He's been adding to his…

An aerospace and defence aspect to it. There is interest due to geopolitics (eg. Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan). The safety of the aerospace aspect of this business is a good thing to have. Good growth in this area. New plane adoption is ramping up, due to fuel efficiency making money for airlines. Had a stumble a…

A great company. Anti-virus software companies are moving to software as a service model, and this business is getting more competitive. But he doesn't know Symantec's funamentals, though he likes their business model. He would dig further and if it looks positive, then buy it.

After delivering a blow-out quarter in August, shares jumped 33%. Then they just announced another strong quarter, beating top and bottom and delivering excellent guidance and raising their full-year forecast.

Retired person's portfolio. Stalled out. His 12-month price target is $491, decent runway. Of the Mag 7, probably want this one at the top of your list because it hasn't accelerated as much as the other 6. So many horses in the race, from cloud to personal computing to business productivity. Nicely priced.
