Wedbush added Palo Alto Networks (PANW) to the firm’s Best Ideas List as it has incremental confidence in the company’s platformization strategy heading into FY26 and beyond following its recent transformational acquisition of CyberArk (CYBR). Following its recent Q4 2025 earnings and the firm’s recent positive checks with customers/partners continue to show that its platformization strategy is gaining further traction, Wedbush strongly believes the platformization approach is the right move for Palo Alto as cybersecurity is a clear 2nd/3rd derivative play in the AI Revolution leading to the company ultimately emerging in the driver’s seat to gain market/mind share. The firm has an Outperform rating on the shares with a price target of $225.
