Palo Alto Networks Q3 Earnings: Solid Results, But No Fireworks
PANW
Published: May 21, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Palo Alto Networks' Q3 results were solid but not compelling enough to change my neutral stance; the stock could go either way from here. Revenue growth is stabilizing around 15% annually, which doesn't justify a premium valuation or excite me as an investor seeking higher inflection. Valuation at 30x next year's free cash flow is reasonable, but growth uncertainty keeps me on the sidelines despite strong free cash flow margins.
