Movement Alert｜Palo Alto Networks Rises 4.07% in After-Hours Trading, CEO Reportedly Explored Acquisitions of Datadog and Okta

Market Focus

1 hour ago

On August 26, Palo Alto Networks rose 4.07% in after-hours trading, trading at $353.42/share, with turnover of $37.57 million.

On the news front, reports emerged that CEO Nikesh Arora explored acquiring Datadog and Okta over the past 18 months to expand the cybersecurity company's capabilities in addressing AI-driven threats. After those potential deals fell through, Palo Alto completed the acquisition of Okta competitor CyberArk for $25 billion in February and Datadog competitor Chronosphere for $3.35 billion in January, underscoring the company's aggressive platform expansion strategy.

The after-hours move was further supported by broad strength in the cybersecurity sector, with peer CrowdStrike surging 9.45% during the regular session. Multiple institutions have recently raised price targets for Palo Alto to a $400-$475 range, with Wells Fargo at $475, BMO Capital at $415, Stifel at $415, and Benchmark at $400, all maintaining bullish ratings. The company is scheduled to report fiscal Q4 results on September 1, with consensus estimates projecting revenue of $3.35 billion, up 33.9% year-over-year.
