Revenue growth meets weaker profit
Fiscal 2026 revenue reached USD 11.5 billion, up 25.0 percent from fiscal 2025, while net income fell 73.0 percent to USD 307.0 million. Simply Wall St also reports fiscal 2026 earnings per share of USD 0.40, down from USD 1.71 in fiscal 2025.
That combination matters for the market report: Palo Alto Networks is still expanding sales at a double-digit rate, but the earnings base is considerably smaller than the prior-year comparison suggests. Operating profit was USD 695.0 million in fiscal 2026, equal to a 6.0 percent operating margin.
Valuation remains a major variable
The finance snapshot put market capitalization at USD 326.2 billion and the P/E ratio at 909.52 on October 8, 2026. Palo Alto Networks was last at USD 400.19 on NASDAQ at 2:10 p.m. ET, while the 52-week range ran from USD 139.57 to USD 432.33.
As CNBC reported on October 4, 2026, BTIG analyst Gray Powell reiterated a Buy rating and raised the price target to USD 425.00 from USD 404.00. Powell also expected pro forma revenue growth of more than 17.0 percent in fiscal 2027, above the 14.6 percent consensus estimate.
