Palo Alto Networks CEO and Chairman Nikesh Arora gave notice of a planned sale of [500,000 shares](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001468233/000119312526420726/xsl144X01/primary%5Fdoc.xml?ref=bullished.co), which the filing values at $201.4 million in aggregate market value. The notice, a Form 144 (the advance notice insiders file before selling), was filed Tuesday.

## What the notice says

The filing names Wells Fargo Securities as the broker and gives an approximate sale date of 10/12/2026\. It states no per-share price for the sale.

Arora acquired the shares in 2018, according to the form. The form does not say how many shares he will hold afterward.

## What it changes

Nothing has been sold yet on the strength of this document alone. A Form 144 is notice of intent, so the actual sale may be smaller, staggered or not happen at all.

Any completed sale would show up in a later insider filing.

The shares sit at a high point for the year. Palo Alto Networks stock closed Tuesday at $397.03, up 115.5% this year and 86.2% over the past 12 months, within a 52-week range of $139.57 to $432.32\. The 2025 year-end closing price, the baseline for this year's gain, was $184.20.

The next piece of evidence is a later insider filing reporting what Arora actually sold, if anything.
