Top 10 Bank Stocks For 2018: Palo Alto Networks, Inc.(PANW)

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Nicholas Rossolillo]

    European and U.S. online food delivery companies Takeaway.com and Grubhub (GRUB) were hot picks, particularly with M&A expected in the sector. And technology was a central focus for many top investors: Light Street Capital's Glen Kacher suggested that Palo Alto Networks (PANW) is a winner, given that we may see a cyber warfare driven financial crisis in the years to come.

  • [By Nicholas Rossolillo]

    The cybersecurity industry is growing, but FireEye's product is viewed as more of an add-on to a company's existing threat-detection system rather than a comprehensive plan. As a result, some of its larger peers like Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW), Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), and tech giant Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) have fared much better the last few years. In response to its slowdown, FireEye has begun offering�additional services and features to create a more well-rounded menu for its customers.

    From the outside looking in, it seems as if a lack of focus could be hurting Symantec. The company's security product line is enormous, covering everything from gateways to e-mail encryption to malware analysis to forensics to risk analytics. This puts Symantec in competition with many security pure-plays that have been growing rapidly (think Palo Alto Networks (PANW) or Proofpoint (PFPT) ), as well as IT giants who have made growing security sales a major priority (think IBM  (IBM) or Cisco Systems (CSCO) ).
