Palo Alto Networks reported strong fiscal Q4 results, beating expectations on key metrics including net new annual recurring revenue. However, its stock fell 11% the day after the report, extending a previous 5% decline, as Barclays analyst Saket Kalia warned the stock's valuation, trading at 45-50 times free cash flow, has reached a multi-year high with limited upside left.
