Tickers discussed in this post
Rubrik (RBRK) shows strong momentum in data security and cyber resilience, with 33% ARR growth and significant operating cash flow generation, nearing free cash flow breakeven.
Zscaler (ZS) faces a growth slowdown, with FY27 guidance projecting 16.6%-17.5% growth, causing a stock dip; an upcoming investor day on Oct 6 is key to addressing this.
CrowdStrike (CRWD) is expanding into AI agent security, with strong recurring revenue growth (25%), but its valuation is stretched (P/S ~50) and GAAP profitability is minimal, with investors betting on future margin expansion.
Palo Alto Networks (PANW) shows strong recurring revenue growth (63%) outpacing overall revenue growth, but GAAP profitability is weak, with a Q4 loss; the stock is near its 52-week high.
