Date: 2026-03-29 Portfolio Manager: Diana Compliance: Marcus — PASS
Decision
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Action | BUY |
| Ticker | PANW |
| Shares | 13 |
| Entry | $154.35 |
| Position Size | $2,006 (9.8%) |
| Stop-Loss | $140.00 (-9.3%) |
| Target | $175.00 (+13.4%) |
| R/R | 1.4:1 |
| Time Horizon | 30-60 days |
Rationale
- Iran cyber warfare = structural demand catalyst (CrowdStrike got double upgrade same day)
- Bounce from $147 on 12.2M volume (1.5x average) — conviction behind recovery
- 3/3 research agents bullish
- $1B buyback provides floor
- Anthropic data leak = demand tailwind, not headwind
Review Triggers
- Stop-loss at $140 → SELL immediately
- Target at $175 → evaluate: hold or trim
- If SPY drops another 5% → re-evaluate regardless
- Next earnings → hold through unless stopped out
