Citigroup's Fatima Boolani raised their price target on Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) by 61.9% from $210 to $340 on 2026/06/04. The analyst maintained their Strong Buy rating on the stock.

Palo Alto Networks reported its Q3 2026 earnings.

The stock price dipped post-print because of a lack of organic acceleration and a "perceived abrupt" de-emphasis on organic/inorganic disclosure, Boolani told readers.

However, according to the analyst's calculations, backed by management's statements, Next-Generation Security should continue to deliever ARR growth in the double digits.
