Puts would have been the way to play this one heading into the release, but after the release I think the shares can be bought ... at least after it settles a bit to see if traders will unwind pre-earnings trades. It's falling on light guidance but when I say "light" I mean by a penny or two, after they just beat estimates rather soundly. I think I may be adding to my position to go with PANW in time.
