Morgan Stanley analyst Hamza Fodderwala lowered the firm’s price target on Fortinet to $69 from $73 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares.

The latest conversations suggest that Networking continues to be an area of weakness, with a material firewall refresh unlikely until mid-late 2025, notes the firm, which lowered its FY24 product revenue by 5% and now models a 10% year-over-year product revenue growth decline.
