FTNT is cutting through the macro malaise thanks to steady network security demand and its UTM stronghold offering customers a strong value proposition...2H product cycle (FortiOS 5.0 and next-gen ASICs) should help maintain billings growth which is the key driver for the stock, though leverage may be muted by investment ramp."
