Iran launched ballistic missiles toward Israel late Friday local time, triggering a wave of retaliatory fire and igniting fears of a broader conflict. The strikes marked the start of what Iranian state media called "The Hard Retaliation," a direct response to Israeli air raids on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45922022/trump-issues-stark-warning-to-iran-to-make-a-deal-after-israels-strikes-on-nuclear-sites-just-do-it-before-its-too-late">more than 200 targets.</a>
According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/13/trump-urges-iran-to-reach-nuclear-deal-before-there-is-nothing-left-.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNBC</a>, video footage showed missiles striking Tel Aviv while Israeli defense systems were activated to intercept the barrage. The Israel Defense Forces urged civilians to take shelter immediately.
The IDF earlier confirmed the launch of "Operation Rising Lion," striking Iranian nuclear and military facilities in Isfahan and Natanz to degrade long-range missile capabilities.
NBC News reported that Israeli Brigadier General Effie Defrin said the operation was aimed at preventing Iran from retaliating with drones or missiles. Explosions were also reported near Iran's Fordo nuclear site, with state media confirming the death of IRGC Commander-in-Chief Hossein Salam.
Israel's Defense Ministry claimed most IRGC leadership was killed, but CNBC could not independently verify this. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed retribution, stating that Iran's response would not be "half-measured."

Despite mounting violence, a U.S. official said Friday morning that the U.S. remained open to talks. However, Iran later suspended nuclear negotiations originally scheduled in Oman for the weekend.
Trump, speaking earlier Friday, urged Tehran to reach a deal "before there is nothing left." The International Atomic Energy Agency reported no radiation spikes at targeted sites.
Amid surging <a class="" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45931068/missiles-and-firewalls-defense-stocks-surge-as-israel-iran-tensions-ignite">Middle East volatility</a>, defense and cybersecurity stocks are rallying as investors respond to the unfolding conflict between Israel and Iran.
Shares of Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), and Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESLT#NASDAQ">ESLT</a>) jumped as much as 7% on Friday. Elbit alone gained 77% year-to-date, fueled by growing demand for missile defense and drone technology.
The escalation also elevated cybersecurity concerns, sending names like CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>), and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHKP#NASDAQ">CHKP</a>) into sharper focus. Governments are reportedly rushing to reinforce digital infrastructure amid fears of Iranian retaliation.

Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles At Israel, Tel Aviv Struck

In the high-stakes chess game of Middle East geopolitics, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45922022/trump-issues-stark-warning-to-iran-to-make-a-deal-after-israels-strikes-on-nuclear-sites-just-do-it-before-its-too-late">Israel's airstrikes on Iran's</a> nuclear and drone facilities appear to have lit a fuse under defense and cybersecurity stocks.
As Tehran rattles sabers and markets quiver, the S&amp;P 500 futures dipped 1.1% post-strikes. Savvy investors are, however, eyeing a fortress of opportunity in companies that thrive when tensions soar. 
Defense plays such as Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) stock was up over 6.26% during day trading by Friday noon, Rtx Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) (aka Raytheon Technologies) was up almost 3% and Elbit Systems Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESLT#NASDAQ">ESLT</a>) was up 7.43%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Missile Defense: The New Gold Rush</h2>
Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies are stealing the spotlight, with their missile defense systems, like Israel's Arrow, poised to win contracts.
Israel's precision strikes, which <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/13/sounds-of-explosions-heard-in-irans-capital-tehran">targeted</a> Iran's military and nuclear sites supplying Houthi rebels, have left a gap that Western tech is itching to fill.
Israel-based Elbit Systems Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESLT#NASDAQ">ESLT</a>), a drone and defense electronics darling, saw its shares jump 10.57% over the past five days alone. The stock has gained 21.51% over the past month and 77% YTD.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cyber Shields Up: Digital Warfare Heats Up</h2>
But it's not just hardware. Cyber warfare is the new battlefield, and Iran's vow to retaliate has cybersecurity firms like Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) and Crowdstrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) on high alert. 
Israel's Stuxnet legacy looms large, hinting at digital skirmishes ahead. Check Point Software Technologies Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHKP#NASDAQ">CHKP</a>), another Israeli gem, is buzzing with about 20% stock spike YTD, as governments and corporations scramble to fortify digital walls. 
For investors, it's a rare two-for-one: defense offers recession-proof stability, while cybersecurity rides a secular growth wave. 
But beware &#8211; Lockheed Martin's lofty 20.23x P/E and potential de-escalation could cool the rally. Still, with Trump's pro-defense stance and Middle East volatility, these stocks are a hedge worth betting on.

Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) is cruising, with its stock price up 37.53% in 2025, just 7% shy of its 52-week high of $93.60. Now also boosted by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45855580/uber-softbank-backed-wayve-to-test-self-driving-cars-on-public-roads-in-uk">robotaxi partnership with Wayve</a>, Uber's dominant 68% U.S. rideshare market share and global reach in 10,000 cities keep investors revved up.
But with Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors, eyeing more mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) after Palo Alto Networks Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) CEO joined Uber's board, can this tech titan keep accelerating, or is it time to pump the brakes?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UBER Price Performance: A Smooth Ride With Bumps</h2>
Uber's stock has climbed 26.65% over the past year, outpacing the S&amp;P 500's 24% gain, and a 4.64% pop in the last five days shows renewed momentum. 
Despite a 1.38% dip this month, the stock's trajectory aligns with its affordable product slate &#8211; like UberX Share—driving user growth. The Wayve deal, leveraging the UK's 2026 autonomous vehicle pilot push, adds sizzle.
Meanwhile, Link's "small position" bet, with plans to buy dips, signals confidence in Uber's M&amp;A potential, especially after its $1 billion Wayve investment.

Uber's chart is mostly bullish. The stock trades above its eight-day Simple Moving Average (SMA, $84.76), 50-day SMA ($80.77) and 200-day SMA ($74.13), signaling upward momentum. 
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD, 0.85) reinforces this, pointing to continued strength. However, a 20-day SMA ($87.62) slightly above the stock price of $86.90 hints at mild bearish pressure. The Relative Strength Index (RSI, 55.86) sits comfortably in neutral territory, suggesting room to run before overheating. 
Support at $80 offers a safety net for dip-buyers, while resistance near $90 tests the bulls.
Uber's price surge, Wayve partnership, and M&amp;A buzz make it a hot ticket. Technicals lean bullish, but the 20-day SMA flags caution. While those looking to enter a position in Uber may buy on pullbacks to $80 for a smoother ride, the conservative investor might wait for a breakout above $90. Uber's not autonomous yet, but it's surely in the fast lane.

Uber Taps Palo Alto Chief Nikesh Arora For Directorship

The median compensation for the highest-paid 100 CEOs in 2024, according to data from <a href="https://www.equilar.com/reports/116-highest-paid-ceos-2025-equilar-100.html">Equilar</a>, reached $25.6 million, reflecting a 9.5% increase over the previous year.

Here Are The Highest Paid CEOs In 2024: Where Did Elon Musk, Warren Buffett Rank?

When Victoria&#8217;s Secret (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSCO#NYSE">VSCO</a>) reported a cybersecurity breach on Tuesday that caused it to take its website offline for three days in late May, the fashion industry hardly batted an eyelash. 
But shareholders ought to take heed. The attack is just the latest in an increasingly high tide of corporate cyberattacks that are stripping revenues, reputations, and sometimes entire business models, away. 
As cyber threats keep pace with AI adoption, investors are increasingly looking to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">cybersecurity ETFs</a>.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cybersecurity ETFs To Consider</h3>
The worldwide cybersecurity industry is <a href="https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/industry-reports/cyber-security-market-101165">projected </a>to grow to $562.72 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 14.3%, as per Fortune Business Insights. This broader secular trend has yielded compelling opportunities for investors through sector-specific ETFs. A brief summary of the major players follows:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>First Trust NASDAQ Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>): With a one-day average volume of around 565,000 shares, this is the most liquid cybersecurity ETF. It has returned 39% over the past year, making it a strong contender for both active traders and long-term holders. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.59%.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Amplify Cybersecurity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HACK#NYSE">HACK</a>): Another top-performing ETF, up 41% in the past year. From Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) to Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) and Fortinet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTNT#NASDAQ">FTNT</a>), HACK offers diversified exposure to cybersecurity firms globally. The ETF carries an expense ratio of 0.6%.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>iShares Cybersecurity &amp; Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IHAK#NYSE">IHAK</a>) and Global X Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUG#NASDAQ">BUG</a>): Good choices for those seeking diversified, low-cost exposure with a bias toward tech. The funds have expense ratios of 0.47% and 0.51%, respectively. The ETFs are up 18% and 29% in the past year, respectively.</li>
</ul>
As per a Statista <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/675399/us-government-spending-cyber-security/">report</a>, for FY 2025, the US government has put forward close to $13 billion of budgetary spending on cybersecurity, an increase of 10% from last fiscal year. It&#8217;s a sign that cybersecurity is now viewed as core infrastructure.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Back To Victoria&#8217;s Secret</h3>
Although Victoria&#8217;s Secret denies the three-day website shutdown affected Q1 profits, the company highlights one of the most important risks that have become far too commonplace: digital-platform-based businesses are one hack away from customer pandemonium and market cap loss.
Retail is not singular. Marks &amp; Spencer was recently hit by a ransomware <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0el31nqnpvo">attack </a>that froze online orders for weeks. The company lost an estimated £300 million, cutting its profits by nearly a third. That is not merely a technology problem, it is a complete financial debacle.
And then there&#8217;s the health sector, with 440+ ransomware attacks in 2024, the highest in any of the key infrastructure sectors, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/20/politics/ransomware-attack-medical-centers">according </a>to CNN, deducing from IC3 report. In 2024, losses <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/AnnualReport/Reports/2024_IC3Report.pdf">reported </a>to IC3 totaled a staggering $16.6 billion, with ransomware as the most &#8220;pervasive threat to critical infrastructure, with complaints rising 9% from 2023.&#8221;
The irony? A lot of the risk is being fueled by the same technology companies are adopting to improve operations: AI. As companies use AI tools to automate processes and track customer behavior, they simultaneously create new <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/PSA/2024/PSA241203">threats</a>.
That duality is fueling both fear and money, and ETF investors are surfing that trend.
Bottom Line: The cybersecurity theme has matured from a defensive hedge to a bona fide growth opportunity. Investors who want to future-proof their portfolios would do well to consider investing in ETFs that target this sector. Whether retail, healthcare, or geopolitics, cyberattacks aren&#8217;t disappearing. But with the proper investments, the prospect of returns could be just as enduring.

Analyst Ratings

Live On CNBC, Malcolm Ethridge Announces Sold Palo Alto Networks

Live On CNBC, Stephanie Link Announces Bought More Palo Alto Networks

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives maintained an Outperform rating on Palo Alto Networks, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PANW/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast of $225</a> on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Palo Alto Networks delivered its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45530408/palo-alto-reports-q3-earnings-raises-fy25-guidance-shares-slide" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal third-quarter</a> results, which featured beats in revenue, EPS, and NGS ARR. At the same time, RPO came in line with the Street as the company accelerates its platformization strategy heading into fiscal 2026, and beyond, more customers are looking to consolidate their security vendors, Ives noted.
Total revenues were $2.29 billion, at the high end of the guidance range of $2.26 billion—$2.29 billion and slightly above the Street&#8217;s estimate of $2.28 billion.

In comparison, RPO accelerated 19% to $13.5 billion, compared to guidance of $13.50 billion—$13.60 billion and the Street&#8217;s estimate of $13.54 billion, as the company&#8217;s platformization continues to take hold.
As per the analyst, significant growth continues to be seen in XSIAM (Cortex), SASE (Prisma), and Product (Firewall) despite an uneasy macro in April.
NGS ARR grew to $5.09 billion (up 34%), which was above guidance of $5.03 billion-$5.08 billion and the Street&#8217;s estimate of $5.06 billion.
Palo Alto Networks reaffirmed that both its fiscal fourth-quarter NextGen Security ARR guidance of $5.52 billion-$5.57 billion (up 31%-32%) and RPO guide of $15.2 billion-$15.3 billion (up 19%-20%), as it is laying the foundation for its platformization approach heading into fiscal 2026 with AI front and center, the analyst noted.
Palo Alto Networks also provided fiscal fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $2.49 billion-$2.51 billion versus the Street of $2.50 billion, while EPS guidance of $0.87-$0.89 versus the Street of $0.87 as the company&#8217;s demand has stabilized after an uneasy April heading into the end of fiscal 2025, he said.
Overall, Palo Alto Networks continues to be one of Ives&#8217; favorite cybersecurity names to own over the next 12-18 months as he noted 2025 as a transition year for the company as platformization deals with cloud penetration are leading to strong deal flow and a more stable pipeline while being a prime beneficiary of AI spending as cybersecurity is a clear second or third derivative play on the AI Revolution as the company is in the driver&#8217;s seat to gain market or mind share in the cybersecurity landscape with the continued shift to the cloud.
Price Action:&nbsp;PANW is trading lower by 6.99% to $180.90 at last check Wednesday.

Shares of Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) continued to slide after the company reported its fiscal third-quarter results on Tuesday.
Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Goldman Sachs On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/589dc33e43eaaa000122c59a/gabriela-borges">Analyst Gabriela Borges</a> maintained a Buy rating while raising the price target from $215 to $231.
Palo Alto Networks reported a mixed quarter, with RPO and revenue in line with Street expectations, while EBIT margin and earnings beat estimates by 30 basis points (bps) and 3%, respectively, Borges said in a note. Management raised their full-year revenue, earnings, and margin projections to the high end of their prior guidance, she added.
The company noted that deal activity was impacted by macro uncertainty in early April, but the deal cycle normalized later in the month and into May, the analyst stated. "While we expect to see a number of next-gen vendors in AI security, we ultimately believe that this field will consolidate over time in favor of leaders such as Palo Alto, that have the ability and willingness to invest in technology leadership, outsource R&amp;D via M&amp;A, and realize attractive unit economics from cross sell," she further wrote.
TD Cowen On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5968f79c988ca80001cea41a/shaul-eyal">Analyst Shaul Eyal</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $230.
Palo Alto Networks' NGS ARR (next-generation security annual recurring revenue) grew by 34% year-on-year to $5.09 billion, exceeding the consensus of $5.06 billion, while RPO (remaining performance obligation) rose 19.5% year-on-year to $13.5 billion, almost in line with expectations, Eyal said. The company generated revenue growth of 15% year-on-year, taking its top line to $2.29 billion, above the consensus of $2.28 billion, he added.
The analyst stated that the results reflect "ongoing healthy platformization performance" and strong adoption of AI solutions in the fiscal third quarter. Palo Alto Networks has a robust pipeline for the fourth quarter, "lending itself for a strong FY25 finish," he wrote.
Piper Sandler On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/590783e6290fa70001409b4a/rob-owens">Analyst Rob Owens</a> reaffirmed a Neutral rating and price target of $200.
Owens said Palo Alto Networks recorded operating margins of 27.4%, beating consensus by around 30 bps. This took earnings to 80 cents per share, 3 cents per share higher than the top end of its guidance range.
However, bookings growth decelerated sequentially to 9%, from 15% in the previous quarter, the analyst stated. While the company said it faced uncertainty during April due to "geopolitical shifts," this has "largely subsided since," he further wrote.

KeyBanc Capital Markets On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/62eacb8a9bab060001dbd41a/eric-heath">Analyst Eric Heath</a> maintained an Overweight rating and price target of $220.
For the fiscal fourth quarter, Palo Alto Networks guided to revenues of $2.49-$2.51 billion, representing 14%-15% year-on-year growth, almost in line with consensus, Heath said. Its RPO guidance of $15.2-$15.3 billion incorporates 20% year-on-year growth, similar to the previous quarter, he added.
The analyst stated that the company raised its revenue guidance for the full year by $15 million to $9.17-$9.19 billion, up 14% and beating the consensus of $9.166 billion. NSG momentum remained robust, with "notable strength" from XSIAM (extended security intelligence and automation management).
JMP Securities On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/6298be750c34880001d668d9/trevor-walsh">Analyst Trevor Walsh</a> reiterated a Market Outperform rating and a price target of $212.
Palo Alto Networks reported its quarterly results modestly better than expected, Walsh said. The company guided to non-GAAP earnings of 87-89 cents per share for the fiscal fourth quarter, above consensus of 86 cents per share, he added.
Management indicated that "rapid and widespread" AI adoption was not only driving "the need to secure AI-specific resources but also further accelerating broader IT transformations, such as the transition to the cloud," the analyst further wrote.
Guggenheim Securities On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587f78d077f9dd000126ef0f/john-difucci">Analyst John DiFucci</a> reaffirmed a Sell rating and price target of $130.
Palo Alto Networks' results were mixed, "with revenue about a half percent above the consensus number, driven by Product outperformance and partially offset by subscription underperformance," DiFucci said. The company maintained its full-year NGS ARR and RPO guidance, indicating growth between 31%-32% and 19%-20%, respectively, he added.
"Management acknowledged April weakness post Liberation Day, though this has leveled out, but not before resulting in dampened F3Q25 results, which carried over to mixed F4Q25 guidance (that may include some acquired Protect AI contribution that should close by F1Q)," the analyst wrote.
RBC Capital Markets On Palo Alto Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5880b6f377f9dd00011b0ab2/matthew-hedberg">Analyst Matthew Hedberg</a> maintained an Outperform rating and a price target of $232.
Palo Alto Networks reported solid results, despite some tariff related macro disruption in the quarter, Hedberg said. He added, however, that the macro environment normalized into May.
The company generated an AI ARR of $400 million, up from $250 million in the first quarter, and recorded an average ARR per customer of more than $1 million for XSIAM, the analyst stated. "Overall, we like the large-deal and newer product momentum fueling NGS ARR growth." 
PANW Price Action: At the time of publication on Wednesday, shares of Palo Alto Networks had declined by 5.99% to $182.83.
