Fortinet's Q3 Earnings Disappoint, Stock Plummets

Fortinet (NASDAQ:FTNT) has caught attention with its impressive 29% return on capital employed (ROCE), surpassing the industry average of 8.5%.

However, the company's high current liabilities to total assets ratio of 47% poses some risks. Despite this, investors are optimistic about Fortinet's future prospects, as evidenced by a total return of 268% over the past five years.
