Retreats as cybersecurity breach fallout and class action lawsuits weigh on sentiment

F5 (FFIV) Stock Movement Summary F5 shares retreated following confirmation of a cybersecurity breach involving state-backed Chinese hackers targeting its BIG-IP product line. The company reported that sensitive customer data and core operations were not materially affected, but expects an impact on near-term bookings. Multiple shareholder rights law firms launched securities fraud class action investigations, alleging F5 made misrepresentations regarding its security capabilities. The lawsuits cover investors who purchased shares between October 28, 2024, and October 27, 2025, with a lead plaintiff deadline of February 17, 2026. Despite the breach, RBC Capital raised its price target to $345 from $325, citing strong earnings results and minimal incident impact. Evercore maintained a Hold rating with a $320 target. The consensus rating from thirteen brokerages is "Hold" with an average price target of $309.89.
