MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Zscaler, Inc.:

  • Zscaler, Inc. recently reported strong fiscal fourth-quarter results, delivering adjusted earnings per share of $1.19, which exceeded the consensus estimate of $1.09, while revenue of $898.2 million also surpassed expectations of $877.0 million, demonstrating the company's ability to outperform market forecasts.
  • The company achieved a record non-GAAP operating margin of 24% in the most recent quarter, indicating improved operational efficiency and profitability as it scales its cloud-native security platform.
  • Management highlighted growing demand for Security for AI and Agentic SecOps, positioning Zscaler, Inc. to capitalize on emerging enterprise needs as organizations integrate artificial intelligence into their infrastructure.
  • Multiple analysts, including Robert W. Baird and Stifel Nicolaus, have recently raised their price targets and maintained bullish ratings, with Baird lifting its target to $230.00, reflecting confidence in the company's long-term growth trajectory despite short-term headwinds.
  • With the current stock price at $169.80, Zscaler, Inc. trades at a significant discount to its 52-week high of $336.99, potentially offering a valuation entry point for investors who believe the recent growth deceleration is temporary.

Zscaler
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Zscaler, Inc. for these reasons:

  • Zscaler, Inc. guided for fiscal 2027 revenue growth of only 16.6% to 17.5%, a significant deceleration from the 25% year-over-year growth delivered in fiscal 2026, which has raised concerns about the sustainability of its high-growth profile.
  • Fourth-quarter free cash flow fell 65% year over year to $60.8 million, missing expectations of approximately $66.9 million, due to increased capital expenditures and internal-use software spending, signaling potential pressure on cash generation.
  • The company announced a restructuring affecting about 3% of its workforce to prioritize AI-focused initiatives, which may introduce execution risks and short-term disruption to operations as it pivots its strategic focus.
  • Zacks Research downgraded Zscaler, Inc. from a "hold" rating to a "strong sell" rating, citing the overly cautious fiscal 2027 outlook and competitive pressures that may limit near-term upside potential.
  • Insiders have sold a total of 16,772 shares worth approximately $2.14 million over the last 90 days, including sales by CEO Jagtar Chaudhry and CFO Kevin Rubin, which may signal reduced internal confidence in the current stock valuation.
