Palo Alto Stock Drops as Inflation Fears Boost Bond Yields - Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW)

Palo Alto Networks shares slid Tuesday as software stocks pulled back amid rising bond yields and higher oil prices, ahead of the company’s fourth-quarter results after the market close. The article cites the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.80% and the 30-year at 5.25%, both near the highest levels since January 2025 and with broader inflation concerns and a widening federal deficit. Oil moved up after Iran’s president said Tehran would respond if the U.S. upholds a June temporary agreement. Analysts expect $3.35 billion in revenue and 98 cents per share for Q4, versus $2.54 billion and 95 cents a year earlier.
