Since the start of the year, Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) has been a train wreck, falling from $267.82 to a recent low of $185.03.
The good news is insiders are buying the dip. In fact, the company director and CEO of Williams-Sonoma, Laura Alber, just bought 2,571 shares for $451,166 on March 19. Director David Kirk bought 2,570 shares for about $194.62 a share, marking his first open-market purchase of the year, according to Barron’s.
While insider buying should never be the sole reason to invest in a stock, it can provide valuable insight into how those closest to the company view its prospects. Recent insider activity in Salesforce suggests that key decision-makers see opportunity amid recent pullbacks.
After a bad start to the year, Palo Alto just saw a massive vote of confidence from CEO Nikesh Arora. On March 27, according to US SEC filings, he bought 68,085 shares at prices ranging from $146.46 to $147.48.
Helping, there’s substantial demand for AI-driven cybersecurity. And, according to analysts at Macquarie, the speed and scale of AI-driven attacks will drive even more demand, which should boost cyber stocks, such as PANW.
Wells Fargo also initiated an overweight rating on PANW with a $200 price target. “We view recent stock dislocation as a favorable entry point for exposure to nearly every major secular trend in cybersecurity,” analyst Michael Turrin said, as quoted by Seeking Alpha. “Although M&A creates [near-term] risk, we ultimately see [long-term] reward of path [toward] 10% share in a $300B+ market.”
