Palo Alto Networks stock climbs after report flags $400 mln Koi Security talks, analysts turn less bearish

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 15:00 EST — Regular session Shares of Palo Alto Networks (PANW.O) rose 1.7% to $182.46 in afternoon trading on Monday after an Israeli media report said the cybersecurity firm is in talks to buy endpoint-security startup Koi Security for about $400 million. The report lands as investors look for signs that security spending is holding up in early 2026, even as corporate IT budgets face tighter scrutiny. Endpoint protection — software that secures laptops, servers and other devices — has been a competitive battleground as attacks increasingly start on employee machines and developer tools. M&A

Cisco stock slips as CSCO turns ex-dividend; what investors are watching next

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 11:37 ET — Regular session Shares of Cisco Systems, Inc.

Palo Alto Networks stock slips into 2026 holiday pause as year-end tech selling bites

Palo Alto Networks stock slips into 2026 holiday pause as year-end tech selling bites

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 16:29 ET — Market closed Shares of Palo Alto Networks, Inc. closed down 1.42% at $184.20 on Wednesday, extending a late-year pullback for several large cybersecurity names as U.S. markets went dark for the New Year’s Day holiday. MarketWatch+1 The move matters because Palo Alto is one of the biggest enterprise-security bellwethers, and the group has been sensitive to shifts in risk appetite and interest-rate expectations heading into 2026. A choppy year-end tape can magnify moves as investors rebalance for January. Reuters Wall Street finished 2025’s final session lower, with the S&P 500 down 0.74%

Software and Platform Stocks Week Ahead: AI Spending Scrutiny, Cloud Security Mega-Deals, and Holiday-Shortened Trading (Dec. 22–26, 2025)

Dec. 21, 2025 — Software and platform stocks head into the Christmas week balancing two powerful forces: a thinner, holiday-shortened market that can amplify price swings, and a still-evolving narrative around the AI buildout—specifically, when massive infrastructure spending turns into measurable profits. By Friday’s close, investors were once again talking about a potential “Santa Claus rally,” but the setup feels different than in a typical year. The sector’s winners are increasingly defined by platform leverage (cloud ecosystems, cybersecurity suites, and data/AI tooling) rather than simple “growth at any price.” At the same time, several high-growth SaaS names face tougher comparisons

Cybersecurity Stocks Today: Okta Rallies on Jefferies Upgrade as Palo Alto Warns on AI Cloud Attacks and Fortinet Targets NVIDIA “AI Factory” Security (Dec. 16, 2025)

NEW YORK — Dec. 16, 2025 (early afternoon ET) — Cybersecurity stocks are showing relative resilience Tuesday even as the broader U.S. market tilts lower on a mix of delayed economic data, sector rotations, and renewed sensitivity to rates. By around 2:00 p.m. ET, Reuters reported the Dow down ~0.63%, the S&P 500 down ~0.42%, and the Nasdaq off ~0.06%, as investors digested a delayed jobs report and reassessed the Federal Reserve outlook for 2026. Reuters Against that backdrop, cybersecurity names are trading on a familiar set of late-2025 themes: AI expanding the attack surface, identity security moving to the top of budgets, and vendor consolidation/platformization shaping both fundamentals and
