NEGATIVE IMPACT
Palo Alto Networks's short percent of float has risen 5.72% since its last report, indicating increased bearish sentiment. However, this does not necessarily mean the stock will fall in the near term.
The increase in short interest indicates that more traders are betting that Palo Alto Networks's stock price will fall. However, this is not a guarantee that the stock price will indeed fall, as short selling is a speculative activity and depends on various market factors. The company's short interest is also higher than its peer group average, which could be a cause for concern for investors.
