Goldman Sachs maintains a 'Buy' on Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) price target of $80.00 (from $78.00).
Analyst, Greg Dunham, said, "We see 4Q results (70% yoy product growth off a significantly larger base) validating our thesis that PANW is in the early stages of gaining share in the $10 bn network security market with its highly differentiated technology. The company’s gross margins and operating margin outlook (about 375-500 bps of expansion on average over the next 3-4 years) also gives us confidence in leverage."
FY13/FY14/FY15 non-GAAP EPS estimates raised from $0.09/$0.32/$0.56 to $0.16/$0.39/$0.64.
