Shares of Fortinet tumbled 8.4% following its Q1 2025 release on May 7, despite reporting strong performance. The company reported revenue of $1.5 billion, up 13.8% year-over-year from the prior-year quarter, in line with Wall Street expectations. The growth was driven by a 12.3% increase in product revenue and a 14.4% rise in service revenue. Its adjusted EPS came in at $0.58, up 34.9% from the prior year quarter and exceeding analysts’ estimates by 9.4%.
