What Stocky thinks

Cautious. Zscaler's Leadership Alignment is strong (76/100)—founder-CEO Jagat Mehta owns substantial equity, aligning incentives—but growth deceleration (52 Growth Score) and intensifying cloud-native security competition limit upside. At 27.7× forward P/E, valuation leaves little margin for error against rising vendor competition.
