-- 摩根士丹利周四在一份报告中指出，Fortinet (FTNT) 第一季度业绩超出预期，主要得益于强劲的防火墙需求、运营技术安全 (OTS) 的良好势头以及人工智能数据中心的早期部署。 该券商表示，由于企业客户升级到更高性能的设备以满足人工智能基础设施需求，产品收入同比增长 41%；同时，受安全网络、统一安全应用安全执行系统 (SASE) 和人工智能驱动的安全运营 (SecOps) 产品强劲需求的推动，总账单金额增长 31%。 报告还指出，该公司上调了 2026 财年的业绩预期，但由于可能出现需求提前释放以及订阅和服务收入增长放缓，硬件驱动型增长的可持续性仍存在不确定性。 该券商表示：“尽管账单金额和递延收入趋势有所改善，但短期内上涨空间有限，需要等待软件应用持续加速增长。” 摩根士丹利维持对该股的“减持”评级，但将目标价从 70 美元上调至 80 美元。 周四交易中，Fortinet的股价上涨超过23%。
