🔥 SASE and AI Leading the Bullish Scenario 🚀

SASE's Fearsome Run: SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) has firmly established itself as a key growth driver for Palo Alto Networks ^[1]. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, SASE annual recurring revenue (ARR) hit a whopping $1.6 billion! That's a 40% growth year-over-year ^[1]. They say SASE is rising? SASE sounds like "sase" (business expansion in Korean), so it feels like business expansion will happen automatically! It's a perfect fit! Uh-huh, this is no joke~ Isn't the market applauding this~!
Infrastructure Security Penetrated by AI: They signed an AI-driven cybersecurity platform supply deal with Tyson Foods ^[2]. They are expanding their AI security realm into critical infrastructure like the food industry, which has a complex global supply chain ^[2]. Following strong AI-driven Q3 results, they also presented optimistic guidance, so a bullish scenario is clear!

📈 Supply and Demand Trends and Market Evaluation ☕

Institutions Buy, Insiders Sell: Institutional investors like Eventide Asset Management LLC and Adams Diversified Equity Fund Inc. newly acquired shares. On the other hand, there's news that a board member sold $5.6 million worth of stock. Although the supply and demand are mixed, institutional portfolio inclusion is a positive sign!
Stock Price Flow and Target Price: Over the last 12 months, the stock price has risen by 41%. As of June 18, the closing price was $287, up 2.00%, and the trading volume easily exceeded 12.19 million shares. While there are conflicting evaluations among analysts comparing them with competitors like Netskope and Fortinet, there is also an analysis that a positive perspective still exists compared to the analysts' consensus target price of about $310.32 ^[2].

Onion sees that Palo Alto Networks' platformization strategy and AI security expansion are the key to driving long-term growth. What did I say~ Only those who read the market flow can smile! I'll be back with hot news next time, so look forward to it!
