On August 5, Palo Alto Networks rose 3.07% in pre-market trading, trading at $377.15/share, with turnover of $6.704 million. The move was driven by an Oppenheimer research note affirming the company is positioned to meet its fiscal Q4 Next-Generation Security annual recurring revenue (NGS-ARR) guidance.
Oppenheimer estimates more than 60% year-over-year growth in NGS-ARR ahead of the September 1 earnings release, citing positive channel checks, accelerating platform consolidation deals, and strong momentum from Cortex XSIAM, Prisma SASE, and Prisma AIRS products. For fiscal 2027, the brokerage expects initial in-line guidance that sets up a potential beat. Meanwhile, multiple Wall Street firms have recently raised price targets, including Bank of America to $420, Citi to $400, Needham to $425, Tigress to $430, and Arete to $433. Additionally, AT&T expanded its partnership with the company to launch AI-driven security offerings, and Google Cloud also initiated collaboration. Within the Systems Software sector, peer CrowdStrike gained 1.55%.
