Palo Alto Networks remains highly valued despite strong revenue growth
Autonomous AI agents increase the risk of cyberattacks and drive demand for security solutions. Palo Alto Networks, Crowdstrike and Zscaler benefit from this trend but pursue different strategies: platform consolidation at Palo Alto, endpoint protection at Crowdstrike and zero‑trust at Zscaler. Palo Alto reported Q4 2026 revenue up 34% to USD 3.4bn but posted a net loss; the expected P/E is around 96 and the stock is considered highly valued. Analyst sentiment is mostly positive, while valuations and the contribution of AI security to revenue differ for Crowdstrike and Zscaler. » More on handelsblatt.com
