A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On Palo Alto Networks Through 44 Analysts

<p>After starting the week with a negative session, U.S. markets rebounded on Tuesday, driven by falling oil prices, which helped alleviate concerns about a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41234471/september-inflation-preview-traders-brace-for-market-jitters-as-crucial-report-loom">potential resurgence in inflation.</a></p>
<p>Crude oil dropped as much as 5% on the day, weighed down by China&#8217;s lack of additional fiscal stimulus and a de-escalation in geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran.</p>
<p>At the same time, Treasury yields paused their recent climb, offering further relief to investors.</p>
<p>Optimism surrounding the upcoming earnings season also buoyed traders, leading to renewed buying in tech stocks and key AI-linked companies. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.8%, the Nasdaq 100 rallied 1.3% on the back of semiconductor strength, while the Russell 2000 posted a more modest 0.4% rise.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often referred to as Wall Street&#8217;s &#8220;fear gauge,&#8221; fell 6%, reversing a sharp 17% spike from Monday.</p>
<p>Commodity markets weren&#8217;t spared from the broader Chinese-led sell-off, with metal prices taking a hit. Gold dropped 1.2%, while silver plunged over 4%, both reacting to China&#8217;s underwhelming stimulus news.</p>

<p>NEW YORK and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;<a href="https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/">Palo Alto Networks</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) and <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/risk/solutions/cyber-risk-services">Deloitte</a> today announced an expansion of their strategic alliance into EMEA and JAPAC regions, making Palo Alto Networks&#xAE; AI-powered cybersecurity solutions and joint offerings available to Deloitte clients globally. The new agreement builds on the long-standing collaboration between the two organizations, accelerating the adoption of leading cybersecurity capabilities and helping clients realize the benefits of platformization.</p>
<p>Many organizations struggle to manage an increasing number of cybersecurity products to secure their business. This can create a heterogeneous environment that may increase operational complexity and difficulty to achieve essential security outcomes. Platformization, the shift to an integrated platform as opposed to incompatible point solutions, helps reduce the boundaries of these disparate solutions to help organizations enhance security posture while driving operational efficiencies. Embracing this, Deloitte has consolidated multiple point solutions by adopting Palo Alto Networks Cloud and Network Security platforms.</p>
