INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$10.98
Trading above historical range
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: PANW is currently trading at $322.24, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $332.86 to $397.52. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 145.8) compared to its historical average (115.7). At these levels, the market is pricing in 8.0% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, PANW is in a downtrend. Immediate support is located at $312.12, while resistance sits at $368.50.
Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 55/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge, with only partial signs of a stabilized entry point. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $399.00 (+23.8%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
