Buying Fortinet

main image

The Fortinet review article just went up recently and as members can see, the stock already trades well below the fair value estimate. Accordingly, it looks like a great option to add to our portfolio right away! It has been added to the Buy List at its close price today.

That makes 2 cybersecurity stocks in the first 4 added to the portfolio. The sector is ripe for investment right now, in my opinion. It is enormous ($200 billion!), mission-critical for enterprises, risky to migrate once established (creating switching costs), and is largely recession-proof. It also supports strong pricing power. All of this has led to some really fantastic businesses in the space. In the Green Screens alone right now, we have the start of a Cyber ETF. Look at all these names!

Out of that group, I felt that Fortinet and CrowdStrike represented the best combination of great business qualities, founder leadership, and reasonable valuation vs. their prospects at this point in time.

I also like Zscaler quite a bit, but the valuation isn't quite there yet with that one. It might find its way into the Watch List in time.
