Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW) is an American cybersecurity company whose shares are flat year-to-date. The reason the stock is flat is due to a massive 15% dip at July end. Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW)’s shares fell after the firm announced that it would acquire a cybersecurity firm for a whopping $25 billion investment and price tag. While investors dumped the stock, Cramer remained a believer in Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW):

“Yeah okay so Palo Alto’s been just annihilated since it bought, decided to buy CyberArk. Oh my god, what a, are they doing badly? What are they doing? Why is, like Nikesh Arora panicking? CyberArk. No, it’s a shrewd buy but this is really an affront to Nikesh. And I have to tell you, I think Nikesh is the real deal, he came out of SoftBank, he’s been running Palo Alto for a long time. Took it to a hundred billion dollar company and this is a buying opportunity. I’m telling it to people, my charitable trust tomorrow when I have the monthly meeting. That’s a front, I just gave you a front run, yes I did.
