1511 ET - SentinelOne's 2Q guidance came in lower than Wall Street had been expecting, putting a damper on the enthusiasm from last quarter about the company's execution and the tailwinds for AI-enabled cybersecurity, UBS analysts say in a research note. The stock's decline Friday was still surprising, but the slight consensus miss on 1Q revenue was a clear blow to investor sentiment, they say. There were some headwinds, including healthy demand across its AI security, data and cloud businesses, the analysts say. But the outlook suggests that AI tailwinds are taking longer to materialize than originally thought, which was tough for a company whose shares had risen 50% in the past 6 weeks, they say. Shares slip 7% to $16.74. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
