11. Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q2 2025: 77

Cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW) is one of Cramer’s favorite stocks in the sector. He is quite fond of the firm’s CEO, Nikesh Arora, and has called the firm a “cybersecurity kingpin.” While Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PANW)’s stock dipped by 15% in July after the firm announced a $25 billion deal to acquire CyberArk, Cramer defended the stock and maintained that the deal was a good move.

Wall Street was worried that this deal was a colossal overpay meant to cover up some sort of slowdown in the core business. Uh-uh, that isn’t what we thought. We have always loved CyberArk, so I didn’t get… negativity. But when Palo Alto reported its most recent quarter in mid-August, well, the company shot the lights out. The stock jumped 9%. I think it can keep climbing…”
