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.

Should I Buy Zscaler Stock? ZS Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Thursday, September 24, 2026. Please send any questions or comments about these Zscaler pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Zscaler
Bull Case

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

Zscaler, Inc. recently launched its Agentic SOC, an AI-first security operations platform developed in collaboration with Anthropic and OpenAI, which automates core security workflows to detect and contain threats at machine speed, potentially strengthening its competitive moat in AI-driven cybersecurity.
The company reported strong financial performance in its most recent quarter, with revenue of $898.19 million, exceeding analyst estimates of $876.96 million, and earnings per share of $1.19, which beat the consensus estimate of $1.09, demonstrating robust demand and operational efficiency.
Zscaler, Inc. has set ambitious guidance for fiscal year 2027, projecting EPS between $4.86 and $4.90, significantly higher than the consensus estimate of $3.70, indicating management confidence in continued growth and revenue expansion.
AI-related bookings for Zscaler, Inc. increased more than 50% sequentially in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, suggesting rising demand for securing AI applications and creating a new avenue for revenue growth beyond its traditional zero-trust security model.
Wall Street analysts maintain a positive outlook, with a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and an average price target of $218.38, which is above the current stock price of $214.64, reflecting confidence in the company's long-term potential despite recent volatility.

Zscaler
Bear Case

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

Insiders have been consistently selling shares, with recent transactions including CEO Jagtar Singh Chaudhry selling 2,852 shares and CFO Kevin Rubin selling 5,957 shares in September 2026, which may signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term upside despite being executed under pre-arranged trading plans.
The stock has experienced significant volatility, with a 52-week low of $114.63 and a high of $336.99, and the current price of $214.64 is well below the 52-week high, indicating substantial downside risk and uncertainty in the market's valuation of the company.
Zscaler, Inc. has a negative net margin of 1.88% in its most recent quarter, meaning it spends more than it earns on a net basis, which could pressure profitability and limit its ability to invest in growth initiatives without external financing.
Short interest in Zscaler, Inc. has been elevated, with 6,501,392 shares shorted as of September 15, 2026, representing 4.82% of the float, suggesting that a significant portion of the market is betting against the stock's performance.
The company's price-to-earnings ratio of 10,509.00 is extremely high compared to industry peers, indicating that the stock is priced for near-perfect execution and leaving little room for disappointment in future earnings or revenue growth.
