Price target update: There are a bunch of stocks in the portfolio currently brushing up against our price targets. One stock, Meta Platforms , is currently exceeding our price target. Honeywell's latest portfolio optimization move is a catalyst for why the stock should trade higher, and as a result, we are increasing our price target to $235 from $225. Previously we've struggled with the idea of owning both Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike at the same time in a 30-something stock portfolio for diversification reasons.

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz has had a banner year. The new regulations will likely offer upside for CrowdStrike, Kurtz said. For every dollar companies paid CrowdStrike to respond to hacks, CrowdStrike collected roughly $6 on average in new subscription revenue, Kurtz said. "It's not something we can answer" for companies, Kurtz said. While incident response is good business for CrowdStrike, Kurtz emphasized that CrowdStrike's main focus is "to help customers prevent these sorts of attacks upfront and provide visibility."

SentinelOne's disappointing forecast slams shares

Shares of the company sank 37% before the bell on Friday and were set to open at their lowest level in about six months. The stock could erase most of the 42% rise it has posted so far this year, if losses hold through regular trading. The median price target on the stock is now $18, which is 13% lower than its last closing price. Factors other than a weak economy seem to be impacting SentinelOne, said BTIG analysts, downgrading the stock to "neutral". Some brokerages pointed to competitive pressure from the likes of Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) and larger peer CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (CRWD.O).
