If you believe PANW can sustain double-digit growth and premium margins longer than the market expects, then hold or selectively buy on pullbacks because PANW's 14.9% revenue growth, 73.4% gross margin, and 18.0% ROIC justify a premium relative to INTC despite the stretched valuation.
PANW trades at a steep premium on sales and EV/revenue versus INTC, yet its profitability and growth profile is materially stronger. The current price of $348.06 is far above INTC-implied price of $157.78 and also above the historical band midpoint, suggesting the market already discounts a lot of quality.
