On June 27, Palo Alto Networks rose 3.14% in regular trading, trading at approximately $302.29/share with turnover of $10.73 billion, pushing the stock to a new phase high.

The rally reflects continued momentum from the company's expanding platform strategy partnerships and strong fiscal Q3 earnings.

These deals reinforce the company's platformization ecosystem.

Underpinning the move, the company's fiscal Q3 results showed revenue of $3.0 billion, up 31% year-over-year and beating estimates of $2.94 billion. AI security ARR surged 60%, and full-year adjusted EPS guidance was raised to $3.77-$3.79, above the FactSet consensus of $3.68. Goldman Sachs raised its target to $330, JPMorgan to $300, and Argus to $320, with the average analyst target at $315.69 and an overweight consensus rating.
