Reason
Stephens initiated coverage of Palo Alto Networks with an Equal Weight rating and $205 price target. The firm believes Palo Alto maintains a "strong leadership position" in its core network security market. While positive on the company's fundamental outlook, Stephens prefers to look for a more attractive entry point for the stock. It views the stock's current risk/reward as neutral.

$213 → $205
2025-03-31
Reason
Truist analyst Joel Fishbein lowered the firm's price target on Palo Alto Networks to $205 from $213 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a broader research note on Infrastructure and Security Software space. Since the middle of February, shares under coverage have traded lower reflecting a spike in uncertainty tracing to policy decisions in Washington, and the firm is lowering its estimates to reflect a lower visibility environment for business leaders, the analyst tells investors in a research note. There is room for additional de-risking, and in particular, infrastructure names are more at-risk of lukewarm guidance from management teams in the quarter ahead, Truist states, cutting estimates for companies with meaningful federal government exposure while indicating that under DOGE, the clear prioritization of reduced spending and headcount could prove to be a headwind for vendors.

$240 → $215
2025-03-31
Reason
Jefferies lowered the firm's price target on Palo Alto Networks to $215 from $240 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm is lowering price targets across its U.S. software coverage to account for recent multiple compression amid early signs of softening macro factors impacting deal decisions across tech. The firm now believes "we may have another 'mullet' year in software" with first half chop followed by second half flow, the analyst tells investors. While not lowering estimates "yet" as the firm awaits Q1 checks and noting that recent guidance levels were set for no material improvement, the firm says ongoing uncertainty means "investors are waiting on the sidelines to assess the impact."

Reason
Rosenblatt raised the firm's price target on Palo Alto Networks to $235 from $212.50 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares ahead of the fiscal Q2 report on February 13. The firm says its conversations with industry contacts point to a strong quarter for Palo Alto, driven by a firewall refresh cycle, continued traction with Cortex, and solid Prisma Cloud customer retention. The positive feedback suggests that the company will likely outperform analyst estimates for revenue and earnings, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
JMP Securities raised the firm's price target on Palo Alto Networks to $212 from $208 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. Palo Alto's Q2 results met or exceeded expectations across all metrics, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Management cited several factors supporting both the improvement of operating margins as well as cash flows beyond the guidance provided for FY25, including internal AI-based efficiencies, which will reduce contract labor to support IT processes by 50% by the end of FY25 along with other efficiency gains, the firm notes.
