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. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Palo Alto is hurting from stiff competition from the likes of Fortinet and Cisco. Moreover, continued acquisitions and heavy investments to boost sales and marketing are hurting the company’s operating margin. Furthermore, U.S. tariff on Chinese goods is expected to negatively impact the bottom line. Volatile spending environment is also a negative. Shares of the company have underperformed the industry in the past year. However, Palo Alto is gaining from strong demand for its cloud security products. Several deal wins and growing adoption of its next-generation security platforms are positives. Palo Alto’s recent acquisition synergies are also expected to boost revenues, going forward. Growing traction in Prisma and Cortex offerings is another tailwind. Estimates have been stable ahead of the company’s Q2 earnings release." (1/28/2020) 2. Northland Securities analysts commented, "We maintain our Market Perform rating and look towards further execution." (9/16/2019) 3. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We are initiating coverage of PANW with a Neutral rating. We believe PANW is a transition story. The fundamental question among many investors is whether the company can successfully transition from its perimeter-based firewall roots to be relevant in today’s cloud-first world where the security perimeter is not clearly defined. In our view, the company has a compelling product vision and is well on its way of becoming the vendor with most comprehensive security solutions to address not just the cloud and not just the on-premise environments but a highly complex hybrid one, which is the real solution every large organization is looking for. To that end, the company already offers robust endpoint security and cloud security, including a cloud version of its firewall (NGFW) capabilities." (9/9/2019) 4. Maxim Group analysts commented, "Sustained 20+% billings growth solid, Next-Gen security growth impresses. F1Q20 revenue guidance slightly below consensus, likely due to conservatism. FY20 & FY22 guidance above consensus on billings, as Next-Gen security growth accelerates. On raised FY20 billings estimates to in-line with guidance, raising 12-month price target to $316, from $304." (9/5/2019) 5. 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."
