Rosenblatt Keeps Buy Rating, PT Down to $215 on Palo Alto Networks.

Rosenblatt Securities has maintained its buy rating on Palo Alto Networks Inc. (PANW) while lowering its price target to $215. This adjustment comes ahead of the company's upcoming earnings report scheduled for August 18, 2025. The new price target represents a significant reduction from the previous target of $220.

The latest move by Rosenblatt reflects a cautious outlook on the stock's valuation, despite the company's strong revenue growth and strategic initiatives. Rosenblatt notes that the stock is trading at premium multiples, which may be a concern for investors. Additionally, the analyst firm suggests that investors should focus on the company's fiscal year 2026 guidance, rather than the pending Cyberark acquisition, which is unlikely to receive significant commentary at this stage.

Rosenblatt's decision to lower the price target aligns with the broader analyst consensus, which currently stands at a "Moderate Buy" rating. According to MarketBeat, out of 41 analysts who have issued ratings for Palo Alto Networks in the last 12 months, 27 have given a buy rating, 12 have given a hold rating, and 2 have given a sell rating. The average price target is $217.52, which represents a forecasted upside of 22.99% from the current price of $176.86.

The recent acquisition announcement of CyberArk by Palo Alto Networks has sparked varying analyst perspectives. While some analysts, such as Piper Sandler and Stifel, have maintained positive outlooks and raised price targets, others, like KeyBanc, have expressed concerns about the strategic fit of the acquisition. The mixed signals from analysts and the recent price fluctuations of Palo Alto Networks suggest that investors should closely monitor the company's earnings report and the potential impact of the CyberArk acquisition.
