Palo Alto Networks (PANW) stock trades near record highs, but its valuation significantly exceeds its business fundamentals and organic growth, which slowed to about 14% last quarter. Earnings per share growth remains muted due to recent mergers and acquisitions, even as the AI sector generates enthusiasm. The company trades at over 22 times forward sales and 100 times projected 2026 EPS, with only mid-teen organic growth expected. Investors should be cautious as public mergers often fail to boost shareholder returns, and PANW appears poised to pursue more acquisitions.
