U.S. cybersecurity stocks jumped after warnings about erratic AI behavior. Palo Alto Networks rose 10.0% and Fortinet 8.8% in the September 11–18 trading week. Seven cybersecurity stocks now offer investors distinct ways to profit from protecting AI systems, with 2026 share-price returns ranging from a 13.9% loss to a 125.1% gain. A 125% stock rally […]
Cisco Systems (CSCO) trades near $106 a share, about 24.6 times the $4.33 of non-GAAP earnings per share it reported for fiscal 2026. That is the same basis Cisco uses for its guidance and analysts use for their forecasts. For a networking supplier with $63.33 billion of revenue behind it, that is rich. And it ignores the two years analysts have already forecast.
Here is how Fortinet (FTNT) and Ambiq Micro, Inc. (AMBQ) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.
A deep dive into the rivalry between Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor shows why chip foundries are AI's real bottleneck, how Intel's 18A/14A comeback stacks up, and which foundry stock fits your risk.
Synopsys (SNPS) sells the electronic design automation software and design IP that chipmakers use to build new chips. Its stock has lost 16.3% over the past year, while the S&P 500 gained 18.5%. A Needham analyst said on the fiscal Q3 2026 earnings call that the question investors keep asking is whether AI could learn to design chips without those tools. The biggest risk is not a sudden break. It is that Ansys revenue could hide the threat inside the headline totals while it builds.
Cloudflare (NET) has returned about 61% in three months and trades at or near its three-year high. The question on holders' minds is plain: what happens if its growth cools? The company has guided revenue growth for the third quarter of 2026 to 31%, and its CFO says the way customers now pay makes each quarter harder to forecast.
FTNT pairs faster billings growth, robust cash flow and a lower valuation, while DDOG delivers stronger revenue growth but faces near-term customer pressure.
The S&P 500 Index ($SPX ) (SPY ) is up by +0.61% today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI ) (DIA ) is up by +0.17%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX ) (QQQ ) is up +1.33%. December E-mini S&P futures (ESZ26 ) are up +0.70%, and December E-mini...
Fortinet has ridden a powerful share price run in recent years, which puts a sharp spotlight on whether the current US$169.84 level is adequately supported by the cash the business can generate. With expectations shaped by both strong historical returns and fresh corporate milestones, the question now is how the stock lines up against its own cash flow potential. Over the past 3 years the stock has returned 191.6%. This raises the stakes on whether that performance is reflected in the...
Fortinet’s modeled fair value has shifted from US$119.92 to US$163.13, marking a meaningful reset in how the stock is being valued in this framework. This change lines up with recent research where many firms have lifted price targets, even as a large share of ratings sit at Neutral or similar, reflecting a more even mix of risk and potential reward. As you read on, you will see how this evolving narrative could matter for how you track Fortinet from here. Stay updated as the Fair Value for...
Cybersecurity companies were having a moment on the exchange.
Fortinet (FTNT) concluded the recent trading session at $169.41, signifying a -1.84% move from its prior day's close.
Two years of Synopsys (SNPS) earnings calls show management changing what it explains. The company used to open on problems, some outside its control and some its own. The August 2026 call is built around a joint product with Ansys, agentic AI, and a new way to charge for its design IP. Most of that switch is earned, but parts of it are still a promise.
Growing anxieties about autonomous AI vulnerabilities and cyber threats have pushed cybersecurity shares to the top of the Nasdaq 100 this week.
The S&P 500 Index ($SPX ) (SPY ) is down by -0.11% today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI ) (DIA ) is down by -0.39%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX ) (QQQ ) is up +0.09%. December E-mini S&P futures (ESZ26 ) are down -0.15%, and December E-mini...
Cisco Systems (CSCO) grew revenue more slowly over the last twelve months than any other company in its peer group. Yet it trades on almost the same earnings multiple as Dell Technologies, the fastest grower of the five. Trailing growth does not explain that price on its own. Cisco's last quarter grew 18%, well ahead of its 11.8% twelve-month figure. The rest of the case rests on AI networking orders that are running well ahead of the revenue Cisco has booked from them.
As AI-related fears increase, cybersecurity stocks could be the heroes that businesses and investors need.
PANW's SASE bookings surge 40% in fiscal 2026 as platform consolidation and rising AI traffic create opportunities to challenge FTNT and ZS.
CrowdStrike shares hit 52-week highs near $242 after strong Q2 results showed 25.6% revenue growth and 51% ARR expansion, as cybersecurity spending resists broader tech budget cuts.
Fortinet (NasdaqGS:FTNT) has opened a new company-owned Innovation Hub in New York City to expand its U.S. footprint. The New York facility includes advanced cybersecurity training labs, executive briefing spaces, and hands-on technology demonstration areas. The hub also introduces a dedicated Fortinet Cloud point of presence and energy-efficient infrastructure aligned with the group’s ESG priorities. Fortinet’s New York Innovation Hub launch fits into a wider pattern of moves that our...
Zscaler (ZS) has gained 48% in three months, yet trades about 43% below its 52-week high. Near $190 it costs 9.3 times sales, against 3.2 for the S&P 500. The question is which growth that price buys: the 25% reported for fiscal 2026, or the roughly 17% guided for fiscal 2027.
Cisco Systems (CSCO) closed fiscal 2026 with record revenue of $63.3 billion, and the stock has returned 66% over the past year. Read its last two August earnings calls, though, and the pitch changed. In August 2025 the CEO pitched a refresh of the installed campus switching base. In August 2026 the lead was a networking super cycle, with hyperscaler AI orders up triple digits. How much of the business actually moved.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq undercut key support as oil prices and Treasury yields jumped. How will bonds react to the Federal Reserve decision.
Fortinet and Qualys stand out as AI safety gains urgency, with strong growth, raised outlooks and tools designed to secure AI deployments.
RUM Group lands a $13.7B Anthropic compute deal, highlighting continued AI infrastructure demand despite growing safety concerns.
CrowdStrike (CRWD) added $333 million of net new annual recurring revenue in fiscal Q2 2027, a record and 51% more than a year earlier. That figure is the case for a stock at its 52-week high, up 117% over the past year. It is also the number to worry about. At 44.5 times sales, the price looks built on that pace, and the company's own guide for fiscal Q3 2027 calls for a slower one.
