The potential benefits and risks of investing in FTNT (NasdaqGS: FTNT), a company that specializes in cybersecurity. The writer suggests that the company could benefit from the new era of Regenerative Artificial Intelligence (RAI), which involves the extensive use of cloud-based data to improve AI technology. However, given the sensitivity of some of this data, the writer believes that companies will need to invest more heavily in cybersecurity to protect themselves.
The writer also notes that social media and communication companies have begun to restrict the use of these technologies, which could present an opportunity for FTNT to establish itself as a reliable provider of cybersecurity services. However, the writer also acknowledges that the company may face challenges in terms of supply and demand, as well as the potential impact of an increase in the Federal Reserve rate on its cash flow.
Despite these potential challenges, the writer notes that FTNT has a significant amount of cash and short-term investments, which could help the company weather any financial difficulties. The company could pay off its total debt twice over and still have cash on hand.
