Many investors have shunned cybersecurity stocks over the past year or so as they've tried to assess how the companies will be impacted by artificial intelligence (AI). Evaluating companies and the markets they serve is a wise strategy, but with many cybersecurity stocks plunging recently, some investors have shifted more into panic mode than simple evaluation. This article highlights two cybersecurity stocks that may be worth buying now - Palo Alto Networks and Microsoft.
Why it matters
Cybersecurity is a critical and growing industry, as businesses and individuals face increasing threats from cyber attacks. Identifying strong cybersecurity companies that can leverage AI and cloud computing to stay ahead of the curve is important for investors looking to capitalize on this trend.
The details
Palo Alto Networks is an established cybersecurity company that has made strategic acquisitions, like its $25 billion purchase of CyberArk, to bolster its security offerings. The company is also investing in AI through its Prisma AIRS platform, which has seen rapid customer growth. Microsoft, while not breaking out its cybersecurity revenue directly, is estimated to have $37 billion in security revenue by 2025, with the potential to reach $50 billion by 2030. Microsoft's security business is tightly integrated with its cloud computing platform Azure, allowing it to leverage AI and its dominant market position to serve cybersecurity customers.
- Palo Alto Networks reported Q2 2026 results in March 2026, with sales rising 15% year-over-year to $2.6 billion and diluted earnings up nearly 61% to $0.61 per share.
- Microsoft recently introduced its Agent 365 AI agent to help enterprise customers govern their existing security services.
