The end of cancer? These 21 emerging AI stocks are developing tech that will allow early idenification of life changing disesaes like cancer and Alzheimer's.

SentinelOne experienced a total return decline of 15.23% over the past year. This underperformance stands out in comparison to the broader US Software industry's close performance of a 0.8% decline. Several factors could have been influential in this outcome. Despite robust revenue increases, SentinelOne remains unprofitable with a Price-To-Sales Ratio that appears high relative to industry averages. Significant insider selling in the prior quarter could also signal investor concerns. Furthermore, analysts indicate that, despite a target price that is over 20% higher than the current share price, there is a lack of statistically confident agreement among analysts, which might contribute to uncertainty.

Throughout the year, SentinelOne pursued strategic alliances and technological enhancements to bolster its competitive stance. The renewal of partnerships, such as the one with AWS in October 2024, aims to integrate enhanced AI-powered security solutions. Meanwhile, product developments like the launch of AI Security Posture Management in November 2024 further solidify SentinelOne's position in the cybersecurity domain, although these advancements appear insufficient to offset market apprehensions reflected in the total shareholder returns.
