🦉 2 fallen cybersecurity stocks for patient bargain hunters
Cybersecurity stocks have been strong performers this earnings season. Many leaders are higher priced stocks in the $100 to over $300 range. Companies like Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NASDAQ: PANW) at $238, ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE: NOW) at $554, CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) at $172, and Zscaler Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS) at $154 may be out of reach for smaller investors.

Equity markets began the week on an upswing, with the S&P 500 rising more than 1.5% at the session's high. The move was driven by some better-than-expected earnings reports and the hopes the FOMC will be lenient on Wednesday. The FOMC is expected to release its next policy move on Wednesday, and for that to be no change to base rates. However, the market should be ready for a hawkish statement. Inflation has cooled from its highs but remains hotter than target and will keep the Fed hawkish for the next year.
This week will bring a host of earnings reports with more than 150 S&P 500 companies slated to report.

Until then, the season is unfolding largely as expected, with earnings growth in the low single digits and the consensus estimate for Q4 falling sharply.

SEDG is down 73% year-to-date (YTD), and ENPH is down 67% YTD. However, not all segments in the clean energy sector have been devastated. Nuclear energy is still thriving.

However, the bulls ran out of steam around the middle of September and with the wider equity market starting to soften as well, shares dropped 20% through Thursday of last week. There the selling stopped though, with the company’s Q3 earnings catching investors by surprise in the best way possible.
