What's The Opportunity In Zscaler?

The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to my valuation model. It’s trading around 2.2% below my intrinsic value, which means if you buy Zscaler today, you’d be paying a fair price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $138.11, then there isn’t much room for the share price grow beyond what it’s currently trading. In addition to this, Zscaler has a low beta, which suggests its share price is less volatile than the wider market.

Future outlook is an important aspect when you’re looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With profit expected to grow by 54% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Zscaler. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in ZS’s positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven’t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?
