Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW) has recently embarked on a platformization strategy, moving customers from individual security products to a unified, integrated platform. In early 2026, the company reported a record 1,550 total platformizations, a 35% year-over-year increase. Platformized customers show a 119% net retention rate with extremely low churn. Elite investors view this as a long-term moat. Another catalyst for the shares in the near-term is a massive insider purchase by CEO Nikesh Arora. In late March 2026, Arora purchased approximately $10 million of PANW stock at an average price of $147. The move was interpreted as a clear bullish signal, as it increased the CEO’s direct ownership by roughly 25% during a time when the market was fearful of AI disruption.

While we acknowledge the potential of PANW as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
