Palo Alto Networks (PANW) Missed Results & Guidance Case
N.D. California
Court3:24-cv-01156
Case number08/18/2023
Class period Start02/20/2024
Class period End04/26/2024
Lead Plaintiff motion deadline- $PANW stockholder filed a claim vs. Palo Alto Networks for overstating consolidation and platformization initiatives outcomes.
- In February, the guidance cut caused $PANW to fall 28%, losing over $33.3B in shareholder value.
On February 20, 2024, Palo Alto Networks (PANW) reported disappointing Q2 2024 results and lowered its full-year billings and revenue guidance.
- In an earnings call that same day, the Company's leaders explained that “our guidance is a consequence of us driving a shift in our strategy in wanting to accelerate both our platformization and consolidation and activating our AI leadership.”
- Palo Alto also revealed that U.S. federal government deals for several large projects did not close and resulted in “a significant shortfall in our U.S. federal government business” that is expected to continue into Q3 and Q4 2024.
On this news, $PANW declined 28% and lost over $33.3 billion of its market capitalization, seriously damaging shareholders.
Considering all the representations, investors have reasons to suspect Palo Alto Networks of overstating consolidation and platformization initiatives outcomes, that led to investor losses when revealed.
The first affected investor already filed an initial claim vs. Palo Alto Networks in N.D. California court.
