Palo Alto Networks shares are trading lower. The company reported Q1 financial results.

Financial Outlook Palo Alto Networks provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations.
For the fiscal second quarter 2025, we expect:
<ul>
<li>Next-Generation Security ARR of $4.70 billion to $4.75 billion, representing year-over-year growth of between 35% and 36%.</li>
<li>Remaining performance obligation of $12.9 billion to $13.0 billion, representing year-over-year growth of between 20% and 21%.</li>
<li>Total revenue in the range of $2.22 billion to $2.25 billion, representing year-over-year growth of between 12% and 14%.</li>
<li>Diluted non-GAAP net income per share in the range of $1.54 to $1.56, using 350 million to 352 million shares outstanding.</li>
</ul>
For the fiscal year 2025, we expect:
<ul>
<li>Next-Generation Security ARR of $5.52 billion to $5.57 billion, representing year-over-year growth of between 31% and 32%.</li>
<li>Remaining performance obligation of $15.2 billion to $15.3 billion, representing year-over-year growth of between 19% and 20%.</li>
<li>Total revenue in the range of $9.12 billion to $9.17 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 14%.</li>
<li>Non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 27.5% to 28.0%.</li>
<li>Diluted non-GAAP net income per share in the range of $6.26 to $6.39, using 350 million to 354 million shares outstanding.</li>
<li>Adjusted free cash flow margin in the range of 37% to 38%.</li>
</ul>
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes share-based compensation-related charges, including share-based payroll tax expense, acquisition-related costs, including change in fair value of contingent consideration liability, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, litigation-related charges, non-cash charges related to convertible notes, and income tax and other tax adjustments related to our long-term non-GAAP effective tax rate, along with certain non-recurring expenses and certain non-recurring cash flows. We have not reconciled non-GAAP operating margin guidance to GAAP operating margin, diluted non-GAAP net income per share guidance to GAAP net income per diluted share or adjusted free cash flow margin guidance to GAAP net cash from operating activities because we do not provide guidance on GAAP operating margin, GAAP net income or net cash from operating activities and would not be able to present the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures because certain items that impact these measures are uncertain or out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including share-based compensation expense, without unreasonable effort. The actual amounts of such reconciling items will have a significant impact on the company's GAAP net income per diluted share and GAAP net cash from operating activities.

Investor sentiment remained subdued on Wednesday as escalating geopolitical tensions weighed on risk assets ahead of the week&#8217;s most anticipated event: Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) third-quarter earnings report, set to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42093025/will-nvidia-deliver-a-blowout-beat-in-q3-poll-says-maybe-not-but-over-half-see-stock-clearing-150">released after market close.</a>
The market mood deteriorated further after multiple outlets confirmed Ukraine&#8217;s deployment of U.K.-made Storm Shadow missiles into Russian territory, a day after launching U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely regarded as a barometer of market anxiety, spiked over 9%, underscoring rising apprehension among investors. 
Major U.S. indices were in the red, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 leading losses as technology stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off.
The U.S. dollar resumed its upward trajectory, with the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), a proxy for the greenback&#8217;s strength, climbing 0.7%. Safe-haven demand also bolstered gold, which advanced 0.7%, reflecting investors&#8217; flight to safety.
Meanwhile, natural gas emerged as the standout performer among commodities, surging over 6% on the day.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) defied the risk-off sentiment, climbing over 2% to hit a fresh intraday all-time high of $94,989. This propelled its year-to-date gains to an astonishing 123%.

Palo Alto stock currently presents a mix of technical signals across key moving averages. While the eight-day simple moving average (SMA) at $392.85 flashes a near-term bearish signal, longer-term indicators favor the bulls.
The stock is trading comfortably above its 20-day ($378.75), 50-day ($362.45), and 200-day ($325.94) SMAs, all signaling strength and bullish momentum.
Momentum indicators add to the optimism, with a MACD reading of 8.31 pointing to continued bullish momentum. The RSI at 59.42 suggests that Palo Alto stock is neither overbought nor oversold, leaving room for further upward movement. 
Investors may watch for a break above the 8eight-day SMA to confirm short-term bullish sentiment within the broader uptrend.

Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PANW/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The consensus analyst rating</a> on Palo Alto stock stands at a Buy currently with a price target of $399.25. The latest analyst ratings from Jefferies, Rosenblatt and Truist Securities imply an 8.12% upside for Palo Alto Networks, with an average price target of $421.67.
Despite concerns over weaker network security trends, analysts like Jefferies are upbeat. The firm raised its price target on Palo Alto Networks from $400 to $450, while maintaining a Buy rating. 
Jefferies sees modest upside to Palo Alto&#8217;s first quarter results but cautions that moderation in survey data and network security could limit growth.
Despite potential short-term headwinds, the long-term outlook remains strong, with confidence in the company's consolidation strategy and robust free cash flow generation.

Futures of all three major indices were marginally up as investors weighed escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and earnings from AI bellwether Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
U.S. equity markets have had a mixed week so far, with the Dow Jones facing pressure even as the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq witnessed sideway movements.

Insights From Analysts:
Wedbush's Dan Ives expressed upbeat sentiment about Nvidia's earnings, saying that the AI giant could deliver earnings beat and raise guidance as well.
"We expect a drop the mic performance from Nvidia tomorrow night as Godfather of AI Jensen &amp; Co. are the only game in town with $1 trillion of AI Cap-Ex on the way with Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs the new oil and gold in this world."

While there is optimism among analysts about Nvidia and other AI stocks, the European Central Bank expressed caution about the possibility of an "AI bubble."
&#8220;This concentration among a few large firms raises concerns over the possibility of an AI-related asset price bubble,&#8221; the ECB said in its latest Financial Stability Review, underscoring the increasing dependence of the equity markets on select companies.
This could also be a cause of concern for equity markets beyond the U.S., noted the ECB.
"Also, in a context of deeply integrated global equity markets, it points to the risk of adverse global spillovers, should earnings expectations for these firms be disappointed."
Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, on the other hand, remained optimistic about equity markets.
"Stocks historically do better in years 1 and 2 of a President who was re-elected vs a new President in office."

Earnings Scheduled For November 20, 2024

As the software industry nears a crossroads, one industry analyst expressed confidence in a few big names ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings?date_from=2024-11-20&amp;date_to=2024-11-27">third-quarter earnings season</a>.
The Software Analyst: D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria reiterated Buy ratings for Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>), Couchbase Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BASE#NASDAQ">BASE</a>) and Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) in a note published Monday.
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Takeaways: For Palo Alto Networks, Luria anticipates strong sales performance aided by improving firewall demand and the aftermath of the Crowdstrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) outage.
&#8220;We believe PANW will easily surpass the sandbagged Q1 ARR guide (implies NNARR is -50% Y/Y at the mid-point) and meet or exceed CRPO expectations as well. If those two metrics are ahead, FY25 ARR guidance is raised, and FY25 Total RPO guidance is maintained and/or raised, all of which we expect, we believe shares will react positively,&#8221; the analyst said.
Palo Alto Networks reports earnings on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Luria is also optimistic about Couchbase, citing dynamics that caused a second-quarter earnings miss as factors that will not recur.
&#8220;We thus expect a beat and raise and a rebound in the shares as expectations are low,&#8221; the analyst said. Couchbase&#8217;s next earnings report is Dec. 3.
Compute Takeaways: Snowflake also reports earnings on Wednesday. Luria believes the Bozeman, Montana-based company is &#8220;well positioned&#8221; heading into the report, remaining &#8220;one of the most compelling stories in software.&#8221;
The analyst is optimistic about the company&#8217;s artificial intelligence and machine learning initiatives and its appeal among developers. Snowflake meets both of D.A. Davidson&#8217;s software benchmarks of price to free cash flow multiples and strong growth.
