Why analysts are watching it
Analysts are watching Zscaler (ZS) as it recently experienced a significant stock price drop, with Couch Investor noting on May 31, 2026, in "I Just Bought $7,800 of a New Stock. Here's Why," that it went down by about 30%. Despite reporting a "double beat" for the quarter with good numbers and growth, as Couch Investor mentioned on May 26, 2026, in "I'm Rotating Out of These Stocks. Here's What I'm Buying Instead," some are cautious. The Patient Investor, on August 1, 2026, in "How To Avoid Value Traps In Investing," highlighted concerns regarding the company's financials, specifically pointing out a $610 million stock-based compensation against a net loss of $59 million for 2026, labeling it "absolute garbage" and a potential "value trap." Therefore, while the company shows growth, its valuation metrics and compensation practices are under scrutiny. Investing in individual stocks carries inherent risks.
