SentinelOne Q2 Beat and $1B ARR: Are Takeover Rumors and the Valuation Finally Justifying a Buy?

SentinelOne’s stock rallied into the weekend after delivering a cleaner fiscal Q2 beat and surpassing the $1.0 billion ARR milestone — a strategic scale threshold that moves the AI-native cybersecurity vendor into more serious platform conversations. Management guided above consensus for Q3 and nudged its FY26 revenue outlook to roughly $1.0 billion, signaling durable demand across autonomous endpoint, cloud, and identity security. The print also rekindled takeover speculation and a string of price-target lifts. Ultimately, this is a valuation and durability call. Around $18.86 per share, the market is weighing a clearer path to profitability, a solid balance sheet, and latent M&A optionality against competitive intensity and incumbent scale. Below, we triangulate the fresh results with real-time market conditions, rate policy context, and Wall Street/insider signals to evaluate whether the risk/reward now tilts toward a buy.

Broadcom’s price has sprinted past Wall Street targets. With cash flows surging and software backlogs swelling, how much upside is left?

Broadcom’s stock has edged to within sight of its 52-week high—closing around $304.97 on Friday, August 8, 2025—while the Street’s mean 12-month target sits below the tape at $294.92, according to MarketBeat’s compilation of the most recent 12 months of analyst calls. That mismatch, alongside a strikingly wide target range of $210 to $400, hints at a market pulling forward expectations faster than models can catch up. The stakes are large: Broadcom is now a central bet on the AI infrastructure build-out, custom silicon, and a software franchise reshaped by the VMware acquisition. But the valuation premium and accounting complexity—heavy intangibles, outsized deferred revenue, and fluctuating tax effects—create scope for both upside surprises and sharp reversals. Our investigation examines the last four fiscal quarters of filings, recent cash flow dynamics, and the consensus dispersion to determine whether the current price is an overrun or merely a pause before the next leg. The result is a nuanced picture of a company delivering superior cash economics and backlog growth even as the market tests the limits of near-term value realization.
