Hold -> Reduce

Reason

HSBC last night downgraded Palo Alto Networks to Reduce from Hold with an unchanged price target of $157. The firm views the company's fiscal Q1 the print as "sufficient, not transformational." The stock's risk/reward is turning negative with limited potential for upward estimate revisions in fiscal 2026 and 2027, the analyst tells investors in a research note. HSBC says that with Palo Alto's decelerating revenue growth, it sees an increased opportunity of a negative share re-rating.

Sector Perform

Reason

Scotiabank analyst Patrick Colville lowered the firm's price target on Elastic (ESTC) to $76 from $90 and keeps a Sector Perform rating on the shares after fiscal Q2 top-line results the firm calls "a tad disappointing versus guidance and cloud peers." While the firm acknowledges Elastic's potential in security and observability, it is concerned that Palo Alto Networks' (PANW) acquisition of Chronosphere could result in a more competitive environment in capturing the opportunity from Splunk, New Relic and Sumo Logic displacement, the analyst tells investors.

Neutral

Reason

UBS analyst Roger Boyd lowered the firm's price target on Palo Alto Networks to $220 from $230 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Palo Alto's Q1 results were solid, with strong annual recurring revenue, RPO, and free cash flow offset slightly by softer services revenue and a mixed FY26 adjustment, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Guidance still implies a second half reacceleration in services, and the planned Chronosphere acquisition, along with CyberArk and new features, supports a meaningfully larger long-term next-generation security ARR target of $20B for FY30, the firm adds.

Overweight

Reason

Piper Sandler analyst Rob Owens raised the firm's price target on Palo Alto Networks to $230 from $225 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. As Q1 results top the high end of guidance, all attention turned to the announced $3.4B acquisition of Chronosphere, placing Palo Alto in the observability market, the firm argues. Data is clearly becoming a critical asset and the ability to provide real-time visibility is key to a broader cyber strategy. Piper believes the company will benefit from broader underlying consolidation trends. Palo Alto is a top idea in Piper's coverage.
