Palo Alto Networks: Way Too Early To Conclude That CyberArk Was A Bad Acquisition
CYBR, PANW
Published: August 19, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

The market's 14% selloff after Palo Alto Networks, Inc.'s $25B CyberArk acquisition looks overdone to me, and I expect shares to rebound into the low $200s as integration concerns ease. A clear sign of this reversal is the market reaction following FQ4 2025 earnings results. Shares are up in the mid-single digits in the premarket session. While the deal carries execution risk with 3,800 employees to absorb, CyberArk's strong growth profile should help offset Palo Alto's slowing revenue trajectory, with FY26 guidance at just 14% growth.
