Palo Alto Networks (PANW) Price Target Trimmed to $204 Despite Positive CyberArk Outlook
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW) is one of the . On August 6, Bernstein SocGen Group analyst Peter Weed lowered the price target on the stock to $204.00 (from $225.00) while maintaining an Outperform rating. The firm reviewed the $25b CyberArk acquisition and ultimately views it positively despite intial negative investor reaction. It believes the deal has long-term strategic benefits that outweigh short-term dilution and market volatility. 'Is the CyberArk deal accretive? Last week Palo Alto announced their intention to acquired CyberArk in a cash + equity deal worth ~$25B at the then-PANW stock price (~$5B premium) — this would be an effective FCF/share dilution of ~6% + $2B cash and any restructuring costs. Since then, investors reacted negatively and PANW's market captalization lost the equivalent to CyberArk's predeal value (~$20B). After exploring the deal potential, we come away more constructive. We find these worries half-baked. Channel checks continue to confirm platformization resonates.' The firm further noted how CyberArk is a strong player and is considered an AI winner. The current gap in their portfolio will be closed through this deal. 'Instead, we believe the strategy to enter Identity closes the remaining gap in their portfolio. It also offers a rare toehold in an AI-winner cyber category. The deal is large because CyberArk covers all the key parts to enter, is a strong player, and is considered an AI winner. Assuming Palo Alto stays on strategy, there aren't other large portfolio gaps (thus large targets) to acquire.' Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW) is a leader in AI-powered cybersecurity. While we acknowledge the potential of PANW as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

2 Reasons PANW is Risky and 1 Stock to Buy Instead
Over the past six months, Palo Alto Networks's shares (currently trading at $167.03) have posted a disappointing 15% loss, well below the S&P 500's 5.3% gain. This may have investors wondering how to approach the situation. Is now the time to buy Palo Alto Networks, or should you be careful about including it in your portfolio? Check out our in-depth research report to see what our analysts have to say, it's free. Why Is Palo Alto Networks Not Exciting? Even though the stock has become cheaper, we're cautious about Palo Alto Networks. Here are two reasons why you should be careful with PANW and a stock we'd rather own. 1. Long-Term Revenue Growth Disappoints A company's long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last three years, Palo Alto Networks grew its sales at a 19.7% annual rate. Although this growth is acceptable on an absolute basis, it fell slightly short of our standards for the software sector, which enjoys a number of secular tailwinds. 2. Weak Billings Point to Soft Demand Billings is a non-GAAP metric that is often called 'cash revenue' because it shows how much money the company has collected from customers in a certain period. This is different from revenue, which must be recognized in pieces over the length of a contract. Palo Alto Networks's billings came in at $2.6 billion in Q1, and over the last four quarters, its year-on-year growth averaged 3%. This performance was underwhelming and suggests that increasing competition is causing challenges in acquiring/retaining customers. Final Judgment Palo Alto Networks isn't a terrible business, but it isn't one of our picks. After the recent drawdown, the stock trades at 11.8× forward price-to-sales (or $167.03 per share). At this valuation, there's a lot of good news priced in - you can find more timely opportunities elsewhere. We'd suggest looking at one of our top software and edge computing picks. Stocks We Like More Than Palo Alto Networks Trump's April 2025 tariff bombshell triggered a massive market selloff, but stocks have since staged an impressive recovery, leaving those who panic sold on the sidelines. Take advantage of the rebound by checking out our Top 5 Strong Momentum Stocks for this week. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 183% over the last five years (as of March 31st 2025). Stocks that made our list in 2020 include now familiar names such as Nvidia (+1,545% between March 2020 and March 2025) as well as under-the-radar businesses like the once-micro-cap company Tecnoglass (+1,754% five-year return).
