Fortinet (FTNT) Annual Update

Fortinet has quietly been a very strong performer in our portfolio, a double since being recommended 2 years ago and trouncing the market by nearly 50%. It finished its 2024 fiscal year with a very strong Q4, as revenue grew 17%, gross margins continued to expand (by 350 basis points!), and the firm continues its build out of cloud-based security edge offerings (SASE, +28%) and AI-driven security ops (+32% in annual recurring revenue). Fortinet is one of few companies with a strong offering in both the "new age" SASE/SecOps security model, and the traditional "perimeter security" hardware-based model. The stock continues to be a strong hold but priced a bit above the fair value of $102.
