Company Report

Palo Alto Networks Is a Cybersecurity Giant With Solutions Spanning Multiple End-Markets

We view Palo Alto Networks as a leader in the cybersecurity space, with cybersecurity platforms spanning network security, cloud security, and security operations. We believe the firm stands to materially benefit from secular tailwinds across its three key endmarkets as cloud migrations, shift to zero-trust security, and increased automation in cybersecurity increases Palo Alto’s value proposition to its clients. In our view, the firm’s sticky platforms, combined with the broad range of its cybersecurity solutions have helped Palo Alto build a wide economic moat around its business.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Palo Alto has strong secular tailwinds behind its back as security operations, cloud security, and the convergence of networking and security are projected to grow rapidly.

Bears

Large public cloud vendors often offer their own cybersecurity solutions, which could hamper Palo Alto’s growth opportunities.
