], but only as a speculative play.
Based in Sunnyvale, Calif., Fortinet is the dominant provider of unified threat management technology. Basically, it offers clients a comprehensive, integrated suite of cybersecurity products and services. From firewalls to spam filtering, it offers the whole network security package, making it cheaper and easier for businesses to comply with any state or federal mandate on cybersecurity.
There’s just one problem, Cramer said. Fortinet’s stock is up 208 percent since he first recommended it in November 2009. The stock is currently selling for 43 times next year’s earnings with a 21 percent growth rate. Cramer doesn’t typically recommend buying stocks when they are trading at more than two times growth, as Fortinet is now. But he thinks we’re currently seeing a marketwide pullback, so now may be the perfect time to buy FTNT on a speculative basis.
