Symantec Corporation (NASDAQ:SYMC)

“FireEye Inc. (NASDAQ:FEYE) was up really nice in the aftermarket a lot of people maybe have a hunch that International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) might make a bid or someone I still like the stock a lot. […] Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NYSE:PANW) more of a trading vehicle, a lot of this names were red hot they were crashed despite those headlines I think these companies are going to come onboard. It is not only going to be JPMorgan Chase &Co (NYSE:JPM) or the Sony Coro (ADR) (NYSE:SNE)’s, said Mr. Payne.

Payne is closely eying FireEye as reports emerge that the stock might be a possible acquisition target something that should propel the stock even higher going forward. There is sure to be undeniable growth in Symantec and Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NYSE:PANW) as the demand for cyber security solutions continues to grow in the wake of Sony Coro (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) feeling the full effects of hackers.

Large cap companies in the cyber security space are sure to provide better returns in the long term based on the fact that they remain the to-go places for big corporate companies looking for solutions for averting cyber attacks

Penn Financial Group Founder, Matt McCall, on the other end remains bullish on Fortinet Inc. (NYSE:FTNT) on the fact that the company has no debt at the back of enjoying a decent revenue growth despite being a little bit expensive.
