What the Analysts think about PANW
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Palo Alto Networks stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Palo Alto Networks stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Fourth-quarter revenue grew 34% and adjusted earnings beat expectations. Palo Alto also forecast FY2027 revenue above analysts’ estimates, signalling continued demand. (Reuters)
Next-Generation Security ARR rose 63% to $9.1 billion, while remaining performance obligations grew 34%. That combination points to strong adoption of recurring security products and a substantial contracted revenue base. (Morningstar)
Security operations platform XSIAM doubled its customer count to 1,000 and grew ARR by 70% to more than $700 million. That rapid uptake gives Palo Alto another growing product line beyond its core firewall business. (Morningstar)
Management guided to FY2027 Next-Generation Security ARR growth of 22–23%, well below Q4’s 63%; the comparison is partly affected by a one-off large customer migration, but still signals a sharp normalisation in growth. (Palo Alto Networks, The Motley Fool)
Despite higher adjusted earnings, Q4 GAAP operating income fell to $172 million from $497 million a year earlier, and the company reported a $282 million net loss. That weak GAAP result highlights the cost of delivering growth and integrating the expanded business. (Palo Alto Networks)
Palo Alto traded at about 88 times forward earnings at the end of October, leaving little room for a growth or profitability shortfall. That premium valuation could magnify losses if expectations reset. (Yahoo Finance)
