Company Report

Palo Alto is a Security Leader with Platforms Spanning the Security Stack

We view Palo Alto Networks as a leader in cybersecurity, with platforms spanning network security, cloud security, and security operations. We believe the firm stands to materially benefit from secular tailwinds across its three key end markets as cloud migrations, the shift to zero-trust security, and increased automation in cybersecurity increase 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 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.
