On November 11, Fortinet rose 3.18% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $127.5 per share, with turnover of $115 million. The move reflects a continued trading repair after the sharp post-earnings selloff, while the market still digests weaker-than-expected services performance and a cut to full-year services revenue guidance.
Background context shows Fortinet reported third-quarter revenue of $2.078 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.91, both above expectations. However, services revenue was $1.31 billion, below the roughly $1.33 billion expected by the market, and the company lowered full-year services revenue guidance to $5.15 billion to $5.17 billion. Because services account for more than 60% of total revenue, investors continue to view the segment’s slowdown as the main valuation overhang despite stronger product momentum and better headline earnings.
