According to CNBC, Jim Cramer said investors should not avoid cybersecurity stocks that have already surged, arguing that earnings are rising fast enough to justify higher price-to-earnings multiples. He said the sector was hit in the first half of the year during a broader software sell-off, but has rebounded as Wall Street sees AI as a driver of greater spending on digital protection rather than less. CrowdStrike shares are up 84% this year and Palo Alto shares have gained 106%. Cramer said his Charitable Trust owns both stocks and added that he thinks the gains are not finished. He pointed to TD Cowen, which raised its price target on CrowdStrike to $235 from $175 and on Palo Alto to $400 from $360 while keeping buy ratings on both. TD Cowen said both companies are benefiting from strong cybersecurity demand fueled by AI. Cramer also said the rise in cyberattacks and the shift to cloud-based systems support long-term growth for cybersecurity providers, and he singled out CrowdStrike as a company he expects to move higher.
