Palo Alto Networks (PANW.O) shares surged 12% following the company's better-than-expected fiscal third-quarter earnings report and an upward revision of its full-year guidance.

The results were driven by increased demand for advanced cybersecurity tools to combat AI-related threats.

The company's performance exceeded LSEG estimates, with revenue and profit figures outpacing expectations.

This comes after Palo Alto Networks issued disappointing guidance in February that fell short of analyst forecasts.

The recent results have alleviated concerns about the company's ability to adapt to AI-driven disruptions in the cybersecurity sector.

Analysts have responded positively, with several raising their price targets for PANW.O.
