    January 18, 2026, 6:17 AM EST.

The stock has traded near US$188. No insider purchases were recorded in the last year, and the most recent quarter also showed selling rather than buying. Insider ownership stands at roughly US$1.1 billion, about 0.8% of the company, a level some see as aligned with shareholders; others view it as a caution signal. While insider selling is not decisive, the pattern-ongoing exits with no buying-dims near-term upside for PANW. The Nasdaq ticker is PANW; a chart tracks individual transactions.
