Palo Alto Networks (PANW) has been the focus of news with the recent trend in its stock showing significant volatility. The company's growth prospect is seen as challenged in some quarters - with Deutsche Bank and BTIG downgrading its rating, while Citi Bank reinstated its 'Buy' rating, citing the rising threats from AI-driven cybersecurity as playing well into the company's growth narrative. Notably, the company recently announced a 2-for-1 stock split to make it more accessible to investorsβan indicator of healthy financial status. However, the move was blemished by a 'sell' prediction suggesting the stock could fall nearly 30% if the call plays out. CEO Nikesh Arora reportedly sold $143m worth of stock, further ramping up the selling pressure. Amid the challenges, Palo Alto's margin expansion has been identified as a potential secret weapon. The company also recently made a significant move in the market via its focus on AI in cybersecurity as industry convergence continues. Furthermore, the organization outlined seven game-changing predictions for the future, central among which is that AI will drive cybersecurity.
