What are Wall Street analysts saying about Palo Alto Networks stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Palo Alto Networks stock:
- 1. Evercore ISI analysts commented, "We are encouraged by both the results in the quarter and the continued push to consolidate security solutions for the cloud. With continued execution the stock should rerate to at least the ~20x FCF range with potential for upside beyond that as the business becomes more ratable over time, in our view. $290 PT." (6/2/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Palo Alto is benefiting from healthy demand environment, product launches and increasing adoption of its next-generation security platforms. Also, customer wins coupled with expansion of the existing customer base are other positives. We believe that the company’s acquisitions synergies will also boost revenues, going forward. Further, the strategic partnerships with the likes of VMware, Splunk and Citrix, bode well. Shares have outperformed the industry year to date. The company has positive record of earnings surprises in the trailing four quarters. Nonetheless, a volatile spending environment and competition from peers are concerns. Near-term prospects for Palo Alto are not promising as customer changing behavior recently hit several other players in this space. The company’s heavy investment to boost sales and marketing capabilities, particularly by increasing sales force, is an overhang on margins." (5/3/2019)
