Zscaler pioneered zero trust security. Now it trades at a third of its industry's valuation multiple after one cautious guidance call.
Zscaler pioneered zero trust security and maintains strong 25%+ revenue growth with expanding operating margins, but trades at 6.24x forward price-to-sales, a third of its industry's 19.35x multiple. The 30% single-day drop after cautious guidance appears to be market overreaction given the company's continued platform adoption and AI Security Suite momentum, offering significant upside to enterprise security investors willing to ride out near-term uncertainty.
