Decoding Palo Alto Networks's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

In the current market session, Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) stock price is at $193.60, after a 0.36% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 18.33%, and in the past year, by 25.49%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747767623_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Palo Alto Networks P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 69.94 in the Software industry, Palo Alto Networks Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 109.77. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Palo Alto Networks Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747767623_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Intraday Update

A Look Into Palo Alto Networks Inc's Price Over Earnings

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives maintained an Outperform rating on cybersecurity giant Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PANW/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $225</a> on Monday. The company will deliver its fiscal third-quarter 2025 results on Tuesday after the bell.
Ives expects to see strong cyber security deal activity across enterprises as the company continues laying the foundation for its platformization approach heading into fiscal 2026.
Palo Alto Networks continues to be one of the analyst&#8217;s favorite cyber security names to own over the next 12-18 months as the company generates a more stable pipeline of platformization deals with cloud penetration, which will still act as a major driver going forward.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45521203" rel="noreferrer noopener">Palo Alto Eyes 15% Revenue Growth In Q3 Report</a>
The analyst noted stronger deal flow in the field over the past few months and believes Palo Alto Networks is generating solid momentum for cybersecurity customer deployments on its platform now front and center. Ives also noted Palo Alto Networks would be a prime beneficiary of AI spending as cyber security is a clear second and third derivative play on the AI Revolution with more workloads and data heading to the cloud.
The Street numbers and the company&#8217;s guidance remain beatable, as per the analyst, as the company accelerates its platformization strategy into the next few years with more customers looking to consolidate vendors. Palo Alto Networks&#8217; Next-Gen Security Annual Recurring Revenue (NGS ARR) will likely be uptick, with the company landing higher ARR deals in the pipeline. Greater platformization sales will act as the general framework for the company to reach its $15 billion NGS ARR target by 2030.
XSIAM and Cortex XDR remain key aspects of driving this platform strategy, with a steady booking pipeline of multi-million deals, as per the analyst.
The analyst believes that while the full impact may take time to materialize, the company is in the driver&#8217;s seat to gain market and mind share in the cyber security landscape. This is especially pertinent as a growing number of companies are expected to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives over the coming year. 
According to the analyst, cyber security is a direct benefit of the AI Revolution, and Palo Alto Networks is well positioned to see incremental deal flow as more strategic enterprise AI projects take hold over the coming year.
Ives also expects to see further strength of Palo Alto Networks&#8217; AI products with the recent launch of its AI suite, including Access, security posture management (SPM), and runtime, which continues to generate greater scale for its platformization approach in the field.
Ives expects to see further sequential upticks in average ARR per platformized customer as Palo Alto Networks focuses on converting its current customer to its platform while its ARR tied to AI products drives further momentum into the pipeline.
The analyst noted that the key focus of the conference call will be deal metrics and commentary from CEO Nikesh Arora. Ives projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $9.17 billion and EPS of $3.21.
The analyst believes Palo Alto Networks is poised for strong third-quarter 2025 results, driven by increasing cybersecurity deal activity and accelerated adoption of its platformization strategy, particularly benefiting from the AI Revolution&#8217;s impact on cloud workloads.
Palo Alto Networks anticipates NGS ARR to be between $5.03 billion and $5.08 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 33%-34%. The company also expects its Remaining Performance Obligation (RPO) to reach $13.50 billion to $13.60 billion, indicating a 19% to 20% year-over-year growth. For fiscal year 2025, Palo Alto Networks projects its total revenue to be up 14% year-over-year.
Price Action: PANW is trading lower 0.38% to $193.55 at last check Tuesday.

Palo Alto Networks Is A Top AI-Driven Cybersecurity Play: Analyst

U.S. stocks pulled back Tuesday morning as Wall Street recalibrated expectations on growth and inflation amid rising fiscal risks tied to President Donald <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Trump's sweeping tax proposal.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 declined 0.4% to 5,935, potentially ending its six-day rally, while tech shares showed parallel losses. Small-cap equities held their ground, with the Russell 2000 trading flat.
Tensions are mounting in the U.S. House of Representatives, where lawmakers are locked in heated debates over Trump's proposed "One Big Beautiful Bill." The bill seeks to extend 2017 tax cuts, expand exemptions and overhaul federal spending, effectively tying tax relief to a reshaping of government priorities.
Trump has personally urged GOP lawmakers to back the bill, which he considers central to his second-term agenda.
&#8220;Alternative to not passing tax bill is massive tax hikes,&#8221; Trump said on Tuesday. 
Markets responded swiftly to the possibility of higher long-term government borrowing. The yield on the 30-year Treasury note rose seven basis points to 4.98%, a level not seen since March. As a result, the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) fell 0.9%.
Despite rising yields, gold rallied sharply by 1.8% to $3,280 per ounce, reversing nearly all of last week's losses. The safe-haven demand may reflect investor concern over mounting deficits and inflationary spillovers.
In energy markets, Henry Hub natural gas prices spiked over 9% to $3.39 per million British thermal units. Traders are betting on a demand rebound in case of an early summer heatwave, which could sharply increase air conditioning usage.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) eased 0.4% to $105,000.

Insights From Analysts:
As the S&amp;P 500 index recovered and it was just 2.99% lower than its all-time high of 6,147.43 points, Subu Trade shares data in an X post suggesting that the index tends to rally for 2-12 months after notching such &#8220;quick recoveries.&#8221;
Last time the S&amp;P 500 recovered from -18% to -3% within 50 days, it returned 20.43% on average after one year and 4.86% after three months.
Also, the data shows that the index was higher than 100% of the time after nine months and a year.
&#8220;These quick recoveries tend to see stocks rally more over the next 3-12 months. Momentum is strong,&#8221; the X post stated.

Meanwhile, analysts at BlackRock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45512310/blackrock-bets-on-inflation-goes-overweight-inflation-linked-bonds-amid-us-fiscal-sustainability-challenge-heres-a-list-of-etfs-investors-can-consider">bet on rising inflation</a> by being "overweight" on the inflation-linked bonds. 
This strategic shift is to mitigate risks stemming from "persistent inflation pressure" and growing concerns over the sustainability of U.S. government finances.
The note also highlighted how the U.S. debt sustainability relies on large and steady funding by foreign investors.
"The downgrade reinforces the U.S. fiscal sustainability challenge that we've long flagged, especially persistent U.S. budget deficits at a time when higher interest rates are boosting debt servicing costs. If these dynamics dent the confidence of foreign bond holders, rising term premium could push up bond yields and debt servicing costs even more," explained BlackRock in its note.
As a result, BlackRock&#8217;s current strategy now anticipates higher term premiums for U.S. Treasuries and ongoing inflation.
"That&#8217;s why our starting point also includes our expectation of rising term premium for U.S. Treasuries and persistent inflation pressure. We go overweight inflation-linked bonds and neutral global investment grade credit given wider spreads," the note stated.
Even though U.S. assets are still core to their portfolios, BlackRock&#8217;s shift into inflation-linked bonds highlights their proactive approach to counter looming fiscal and inflationary challenges.

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Monday.
U.S. stocks settled mostly higher on Monday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 100 points during the session. Major indices recorded gains last week. For the week, the S&amp;P 500 gained 5.3%, while the Dow added 3.4%. The Nasdaq Composite was the standout performer, surging 7.2% last week.
Investors showed limited concern after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns">Moody&#8217;s downgraded U.S. sovereign credit</a> from Aaa to Aa1, effectively stripping the world&#8217;s largest economy of its last top-tier credit rating.
UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) shares jumped more than 8% on Monday, extending Friday&#8217;s 6% surge, after several company executives bought shares during the recent selloff. Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) surged 15% after the FDA approved its Nuvaxovid COVID-19 vaccine for high-risk individuals, including seniors over 65 and those aged 12–64 with underlying health conditions.
On the economic data front, the CB Leading Index fell 1% month-over-month in April.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with health care, consumer staples, and industrials stocks recording the biggest gains on Monday. However, energy and consumer discretionary stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 69.6, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 70.4.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Home Depot, Toll Brothers And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) is scheduled to report its fiscal third-quarter results on Tuesday, May 20.
The announcement will come amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst previews.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Cantor Fitzgerald On Palo Alto Networks</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58d11d3db85e93000188d7b9/jonathan-ruykhaver">Analyst Jonathan Ruykhaver</a> reiterated an Overweight rating and price target of $223.
Checks indicate that Palo Alto Networks will report mixed result for the fiscal third quarter, Ruykhaver said in a note. The consensus estimates for NNARR (net new annual recurring revenue) of around $260 million implies a 6% year-on-year decline, "which we view as conservative despite the mixed checks," he added.
The analyst expects Palo Alto Networks to report revenues at $2.285 and earnings of 79 cents per share, higher than consensus of $2.279 billion and 77 cents per share, respectively. "Partner feedback on large deal momentum is largely consistent with last quarter, which should support at least an in-line 4Q25 guide for RPO, which currently stands at 19%-20%," he further wrote.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Roth Capital Partners On Palo Alto Networks</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ad8d48b85e930001f97170/robert-ohmes">Analyst</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ad8d48b85e930001f97170/robert-ohmes"> Taz Koujalgi</a> maintained a Neutral rating and price target of $210.
Palo Alto Networks' revenues could fall short of the high end of the guidance range and management may not raise full-year NGS ARR (next-generation security annual recurring revenue) and RPO (remaining performance obligation) guidance, Koujalgi said.
"PANW's feedback improved from the end of March but was consistent with the end of January," the analyst wrote. Although feedback indicates large deals during the quarter, some of the pipeline deals that were expected to close in the fiscal fourth quarter could be pushed out to fiscal 2026, he further stated.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">DA Davidson On Palo Alto Networks</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/61152e71b4035700018afbc0/rudy-kessinger">Analyst Rudy Kessinger</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $225.
Palo Alto Networks is likely to report "in-line to modestly ahead" quarterly results and reiterate its full-year guidance, Kessinger said. Although checks indicate weaker third-quarter sales, the company had "the strongest feedback out of all vendors," which are likely to report significant sequential declines, he added.
Although Palo Alto Networks may report a strong quarter, the upside could be less than in previous quarters and fail to drive the share price in the near term, the analyst stated. "Total RPO growth &amp; CRPO growth could actually result in a negative near-term reaction in our view," he further wrote.
PANW Price Action: Shares of Palo Alto Networks had declined slightly by 0.021% to $192.94 at the time of publication on Monday.
