Palo Alto Networks (PANW) Executive Summary: The CEO Just Bet $10M on This Dip: Should You Follow Him?
PANW: CEO Nikesh Arora bought $10M at $147/sh on March 27 dip (stock now ~$163, -27% from $223 Oct highs).

Analysts cut PTs $190-225→$185-225 post-Feb ER but keep Buy ratings. Long-dated calls (Dec '28, Mar '27 $150-200 strikes) show accumulation. Support $143-147, resistance $182-191. Expensive but quality earnings + insider conviction = potential entry.
