Palo Alto Networks saw its shares drop nearly 40% from their October 2025 peak to a low below $140 in February 2026 amid a broader software sector selloff. Despite solid Q2 results showing 15% revenue growth and 33% growth in next-generation security annual recurring revenue, the company’s guidance remains cautious, leading to a hold rating. The stock trades at a premium valuation with a mid-40s price-to-earnings ratio, justified only by moderate expected earnings growth. Technical indicators are mixed, with critical support at $140 and resistance at the declining 200-day moving average, suggesting limited near-term upside.
