The analyst said investors are still focused on the usual setup-and-beat dynamics ahead of off-cycle quarterly EPS reports. At the same time, the broader discussion around AI disruption is expected to play a major role this earnings season as investors try to identify companies that could benefit from AI versus those that may face risks.

The firm also pointed to the underlying organic momentum across Palo Alto’s core platforms.
