PANW CEO buys $10M in open market as stock sits near 52-week lows

Palo Alto's CEO just bought $10M of his own stock in the open market. Not a pre-planned transaction. Discretionary. He walked in at $153.18 while the stock sits 31% below its 52-week high and down 15% year-to-date. That's now 16.5% of his total holdings in PANW, up from where he started the year.

Arora's putting $10M behind the idea that his stock is oversold while the rest of the sector watches from the sidelines. PANW reports earnings May 19. He knows what that quarter looks like. He bought anyway.
