Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) price target of $58.00.

Analyst, Jeff Kvaal's highlighted points include: 1) Palo Alto's first quarter post IPO was generally in line with investor expectations; 2) Near term sales trajectory robust despite weak EMEA; 3) Determining slope of sales deceleration will be difficult; and 4) EPS lift in line with investor expectations: We lift our CY13 EPS from $0.14 to $0.26,
which includes $0.09 from lower taxes.

Overall, Kvaal thinks PAN's leadership and opportunity in NG firewalls is reflected in its
valuation.
