Top Cyber Security Stocks to buy in 2019

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

Price target of $20.50 CAD. Cloud-based platform for enterprise and public sector. In the right place because of remote work. Should continue to go. Not cheap. Yield is 2.6%.

(A Top Pick Feb 26/20, Up 13%) He likes their business, though wouldn't add to it now. His buy price is $105. It has a global platform. They can buy back shares or companies. Organic growth had lagged, but in the last quarter picked up, given the backlog of work.

Likes what they're doing, but it's taking a long time to get this business around the corner. Not cheap. Super interesting involvement in the auto sector. Security division recently had a stumble. Better places to put your money.

A long term theme for him. Indifferent to the individual ETF. You should understand that cyber security is a critical growth area as the world digitizes. You should keep buying into the dips.

The field has huge amounts of growth in it. This was Canada's first cyber security ETF. Cyber crime is expected to continue to grow. A leader in the space.

It's the largest cloud content delivery network. They beat the street last Tuesday, but plunged 9%. They delivered a good, but imperfect quarter. It was one of many tech stocks that reported good quarters last week, but still sold off.

Very good area in tech going forward. People working outside the office has created a lot of IT issues in cybersecurity. He anticipates better numbers in the next several quarters. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $133.47)

(A Top Pick Jan 21/21, Down 8%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly CTXS has triggered our stop at $118. We recommend covering the position at this time. We will look for better opportunities.

The defence industry in total is starting to roll over. The Biden administration is not viewed as oriented towards defence spending so this is why it has gone down recently.

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.

They report Thursday. Not sure if they can deliver a lift in shares. Instead, stay long in AMD and Nvidia.

(A Top Pick Nov 03/20, Up 41.1%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with JNPR is progressing well. We now recommend trailing up the stop (from $17) to $26. If triggered this would all but guarantee a investment return over 29%, when including the previous recommendation to cover half.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate our TOP PICK recommendation with LMT. The company just secured contracts with the Pentagon worth up to $6.6 billion. It trades at 14x earnings compared to peers at 18x. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio of 40% of cash flow. Its cash reserves are…

It rallied 25% earlier this year then consolidated. His pick of the day.

(A Top Pick Apr 22/21, Up 43.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PANW is progressing well. We now recommend trailing the stop (from $360) to $425. If triggered, this would all but guarantee a net investment return of 23%, considering our recommendation to previously cover half the position.

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…

He's adding to his holdings. He expects it to earn $5/share this quarter or a reasonable 16-17x PE. The aerospace business is starting to return to normal post-Covid, so there's a lot of runway ahead.

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.

Starting to see a sector rotation into growth stories that have more solid fundamentals. Dividend is reasonably attractive, balance sheet is great. Challenge is that market seems to be boom/bust, and there's competition from Europe. Don't chase. If you hold, keep it. Oracle offers more upside.

This will return above $300. His pick of the day.
