Zscaler (ZS) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Zscaler has reported a significant increase in its annual recurring revenue (ARR) for data security, achieving $425 million in the fourth quarter of FY25, which reflects a $75 million growth from the previous quarter. The company has also seen substantial momentum in its Z-Flex program, resulting in over $100 million in total contract value (TCV) bookings, up 50% sequentially, indicating strong demand for its services. Additionally, the firm has improved its non-GAAP operating and free cash flow margins over the past four years, highlighting the effectiveness of its revenue growth and operational efficiency.
Bears say
Zscaler's revenue growth has shown a significant decline, expected to decelerate to 19% year-over-year in FY26 from a high of 62% in FY22, indicating a troubling trend as the company transitions from hypergrowth to a more sustainable growth rate amid a challenging economic climate. Additionally, Zscaler faces increased budget scrutiny, which is exacerbated by a tougher competitive landscape and has resulted in a decrease in job postings, signaling potential operational challenges. The company's sub-category performance is underwhelming, with a 9% CAGR in the firewall/UTM sector, which is lagging behind broader security market averages, ultimately reflecting a concerning outlook for Zscaler's future growth potential.
