Values are as tagged by the issuer in XBRL. Revenue for banks and insurers is net of interest expense where that is the reported line. Fiscal years that do not follow the calendar are shown by their period-end date. No price, market cap, or valuation multiple is shown because Yield Theory does not republish unlicensed market data.

Diluted EPS is the earnings figure behind the price-to-earnings ratio; the P/E multiple compression calculator shows how a change in that multiple moves a share price. Shares outstanding multiplied by the share price gives market capitalization.

What investors should watch in PANW

For Palo Alto Networks, Inc., the most important recurring operating and market variables are:

  • ◆Next-Generation Security annualized recurring revenue
  • ◆Platformization deals that consolidate point products onto Strata, Prisma, and Cortex
  • ◆Mix of hardware firewall product revenue versus subscription and support
  • ◆Distributor concentration and channel partner performance
  • ◆Integration of acquisitions, including the pending CyberArk transaction

Key questions for the PANW thesis

Each question starts with what the filings show, then why it matters. None of these is a rating or a forecast.

Is the recurring base growing faster than reported revenue?

Next-Generation Security ARR reached $5.6 billion at July 31, 2025 versus $4.2 billion a year earlier, and remaining performance obligations rose to $15.8 billion from $12.7 billion. Item 7 defines NGS ARR as an operating metric that excludes hardware, so compare its growth with total revenue of $9.2 billion, up 15%.

How dependent is the business on hardware appliances?

Product revenue was $1.8 billion, or 19.5% of fiscal 2025 revenue, driven by ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewalls and software licenses. Item 1A discusses supply, inventory, and component risks tied to hardware, so watch whether the subscription and support share keeps rising as customers move to SASE and cloud-delivered services.

What are the concentration risks in the channel?

The 10-K states that 44.2% of fiscal 2025 revenue came from sales to three distributors under a two-tier fulfillment model, while no end customer exceeded 10%. Check the risk factors on distributors and channel partners for how payment terms and termination rights could affect reported results.

What will CyberArk change?

The company agreed in July 2025 to acquire identity-security vendor CyberArk, expected to close in the second half of fiscal 2026, after buying Protect AI and IBM QRadar assets. Item 1A lists integration, dilution, and completion risks; compare fiscal 2025 net income of $1.1 billion with the cost and share issuance of the deal.

Does PANW's reported profit turn into cash?

Operating cash flow was $3.7B, 3.28 times net income of $1.1B, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.

Cash from operations exceeded reported earnings. Non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation usually explain the gap; the cash-flow statement shows which.

Form 10-K filed September 10, 2026

How much of PANW's revenue is left as profit?

Net income was 12.3% of revenue for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, based on revenue and net income reported for the same period.

Net margin reflects the business model as much as execution, so compare it with companies in the same SEC industry and read the income statement for one-time items before treating it as a run rate.

Form 10-K filed September 10, 2026

When does Palo Alto Networks, Inc.'s fiscal year end?

The SEC lists Palo Alto Networks, Inc.'s fiscal year end as July 31, not December 31. The latest annual figures here run from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025.

Annual results cover a different 12 months from calendar-year peers. Align periods before comparing growth or margins across companies.
