<p class="has-drop-cap">Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PNAW), a leading cybersecurity company, announced its <a aria-label="third-quarter earnings results (opens in a new tab)" href="https://investors.paloaltonetworks.com/financial-information/quarterly-results" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">third-quarter earnings results</a> on Tuesday, revealing slower revenue growth and a cautious fourth-quarter outlook. <br><br>Following the announcement, the company’s shares experienced a significant decline in <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-trade-after-hours/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">after-market trading</a>, reflecting investor disappointment in its performance and guidance.</p>
<h3 id="palo-alto-reports-mixed-q3">Palo Alto Reports Mixed Q3</h3>
<p>Palo Alto Networks reported a 15% increase in revenue to $1.98 billion for the third quarter, the slowest growth since early 2020. The company’s fourth-quarter revenue forecast of $2.15 billion to $2.17 billion fell slightly below analyst expectations. However, the company’s fourth-quarter billings projection of $3.43 billion to $3.48 billion was largely in line with expectations.</p>
<p>Despite the mixed results, the company highlighted its strong performance in new subscription sales and next-generation product offerings. The company’s next-generation annualized recurring revenue reached $3.79 billion, exceeding the $3.71 billion estimate and growing by 47%. The remaining performance obligations also increased by 23% to $11.3 billion. <br><br>The company attributed the growth to its platformization strategy, although this approach has led to increased bookings with deferred payments due to higher client borrowing costs.</p>
