CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, SentinelOne, and Fortinet all sell cybersecurity, but they make money in different ways. A side-by-side look at their businesses and latest results.
Three AI CEOs asked for a slowdown. Chipmakers sold off worldwide, and cybersecurity stocks went up.

Rogue AI agents attacked Hugging Face. Its defenders turned to a Chinese open-weight model.
About 700 OpenAI test agents took part in an attack on Hugging Face in July, and the reports published Aug. 26 read like the case against open-weight AI. Except the frontier models Hugging Face reached for refused to help analyze the attack, and its responders ran a Chinese open-weight model instead. Washington has already picked a side.
Software's biggest day of 2026, and the Salesforce (CRM) beat behind it is mostly paper
Software is on pace for its biggest day of 2026, led by a 22% jump in Salesforce. But the $5.90 adjusted EPS everyone is quoting includes a $2.6 billion investment gain the company doesn't strip out. Back it out and the beat is single digits at best.

OpenAI added its name after sitting out the launch, Google's CEO backed it without signing, and Anthropic declined to comment.

Everyone's asking if AI is the next dot-com bubble. Nvidia and 25 companies just gave a clue.

Cybersecurity keeps pulling in money. Palo Alto Networks (PANW) trades at 291 times earnings.
Cybersecurity spending looks as durable as anything in this market, and a wave of M&A backs it up: three public companies gone in a year, the biggest a $21.1 billion Palo Alto Networks deal for CyberArk. But Palo Alto itself trades at 291 times earnings and CrowdStrike's price-to-earnings ratio is negative. Here's the market-cap breakdown of the 21 stocks left standing, and why the category and the stocks aren't the same bet.
All seven Magnificent Seven stocks fell today. Here's where that money actually went (July 23, 2026)
All seven Magnificent Seven stocks were red by late morning Thursday, led by Tesla's 14% drop on an earnings miss and Alphabet's close-to-7% slide despite beating estimates, on another capex raise.
