Zscaler: Wave (2) Correction! After a rapid rise in early September, the ZS stock managed to reach the highs from August, but there was no significant acceptance at this level. Structurally, the upward movement isn't sufficient for us to consider wave (2) as completed. So far, the bullish signals lack a clear impulsive character, and we expect new lows during the magenta wave (2), which should primarily end above the support at $84.93. Once a trend reversal has been initiated, the subsequent wave (3) should push through the resistance at $251.45. According to our 33% likely alternative scenario, this could also happen directly.

Zscaler's Stock Plummet 18.83% on Q2 Earnings ShockZscaler (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:ZS ), a prominent cloud security platform, experienced a significant drop of 17.8% in pre-market trading after its latest earnings release. While the company beat analysts' expectations on billings, revenue, and operating income for the quarter, its guidance for billings in the upcoming year fell short of market expectations. This mixed outlook has investors questioning the company’s near-term growth potential. Strengths and Concerns Zscaler’s recent quarter was a mix of positives and negatives. On the bright side, Zscaler (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:ZS ) reported $592.9 million in sales, beating the expected $567.9 million, and delivered adjusted earnings of $0.88 per share, significantly higher than the forecasted $0.69 per share. The company also made strides towards GAAP profitability by reducing its losses from $1.40 per share in fiscal 2023 to $0.39 per share this fiscal year. However, concerns loom over the future. Management’s billings growth projection—13% in the first half of the fiscal year accelerating to 23% in the second half—didn't sit well with investors, reflecting uncertainty about the company's ability to sustain its momentum. Furthermore, Zscaler's guidance for non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.62 in fiscal Q1 2025 and $2.84 for fiscal 2025 was below the consensus forecast of $0.73 and $3.33, respectively. This signals potential headwinds that could slow down growth and delay GAAP profitability even further, now projected to be reached beyond 2027. A Volatile Path Technically, Zscaler’s stock has displayed high volatility, with notable swings in the last year, including eight moves exceeding 5%. The latest 17.8% drop is particularly significant, indicating a strong reaction from the market to the latest earnings report and future guidance. The stock currently trades 37.8% below its 52-week high of $254.93, making it a potentially attractive buy for long-term investors looking for a discount on a high-growth cloud security leader. However, the sell-off has pushed Zscaler (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:ZS ) below key support levels, signaling bearish sentiment. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) which is sitting at 28.56 has also dipped into oversold territory, suggesting that while the stock is under pressure, there could be a rebound opportunity once the market stabilizes. Outlook and Market Sentiment The broader market reaction to Zscaler’s report highlights concerns over the cybersecurity industry’s near-term prospects, particularly as it faces challenges like economic uncertainty and shifts in customer spending behavior. Similar pressures have been seen across the sector, with rivals like Palo Alto Networks also facing guidance cuts and growing pains due to strategic shifts. Despite the negative sentiment, Zscaler’s consistent revenue growth and progress towards profitability underscore the company’s potential. Investors should closely monitor upcoming earnings to see if Zscaler can deliver on its promise of accelerating billings growth in the latter half of the year. Is Zscaler a Buy? The significant drop in Zscaler’s share price could present a buying opportunity for those willing to weather short-term volatility in exchange for long-term gains. With solid fundamentals, a clear path toward profitability, and continued innovation in the cybersecurity space, Zscaler (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:ZS ) remains a compelling play, albeit one that requires patience and a tolerance for risk. Investors should watch key support levels and consider Zscaler’s guidance trajectory in their decision-making. The market’s current apprehension presents a chance to buy into a high-quality name at a discounted price, though further volatility is expected as the company navigates through its challenges.

Zscaler Stock Jumps 5.94% on Unexpected ProfitZscaler's stock surged 5.94% on an unexpected profit, following a surprise profit of $19.1 million for the quarter. The company posted a revenue of $553.2 million, up 32% from last year and topped analysts' expectations of $535.2 million. Zscaler's fourth-quarter revenue guidance was mostly in line with estimates of $567.6 million, which would be up nearly 25% from the prior-year's reported figure. The cybersecurity industry has been in a tough spot in recent months, with profit and sales projections from competitors like Palo Alto Networks and Cloudflare dragging down stocks around the industry. Zscaler shares ( NASDAQ:ZS ) were up more than 7% to $167.97 as of 11:03 a.m. ET Friday, but are still down about 24% for the year. Cybersecurity has become more crucial in recent years amid rising online threats and a rapid rise in artificial intelligence that enable hackers to execute advanced cyberattacks. The cloud-based security solution provider expects fourth-quarter revenue to be between $565 million and $567 million, with its midpoint above market expectation of $565.1 million, according to LSEG data. Zscaler projects ( NASDAQ:ZS ) adjusted earnings per share of about 69 cents to 70 cents in the fourth quarter, compared with estimates of 68 cents. CEO Jay Chaudhry said that Zero Trust security remains a top IT priority, and an increasing number of enterprises are adopting their platform. Analysts expect budgets for cybersecurity products to rise in the second half, with some customers still waiting for the economy to improve. The U.S. Department of State has been working with security vendors, including Zscaler, to secure its network after China-linked hackers stole tens of thousands of emails by breaching Microsoft's network last year.

Zscaler (ZS): Potential Pitfalls & Buying Risks ExplainedAt Zscaler, we believe that the subordinate Wave 3 has definitely concluded at 259.61$. Currently, we are in search of Wave 4, which is turning out to be unusually long and has already dropped below the critical level that we had considered as the last reversal point. This significantly diminishes the likelihood of a successful entry, prompting us to refrain from new engagements for now. Moreover, the RSI indicates that the stock is oversold, which might suggest a buying opportunity. However, given the overall market dynamics and Zscaler's specific situation, we remain cautious. Should the price fall below the 163$ level, it would potentially invalidate our current scenario and suggest that our analysis might be incorrect, boding poorly for Zscaler's outlook. Considering the current market uncertainties and specific risks associated with Zscaler, we have decided not to place any new entries at this time.

Zscaler (ZS): Breaking Through the CloudZscaler (ZS): NASDAQ:ZS At the American cloud company Zscaler, we have completed the first 5-wave cycle at the level of $376.11, have since developed Wave II at $84.93, and are now in the overarching Wave III, which should naturally extend far beyond our Alltime High, thus above the current Wave I to also be valid. Currently, we are in the first 5-wave impulse upwards to complete the Wave (1). We have ended the subordinate Wave 3 here precisely or almost exactly at the level of 161.8%, have since formed a stronger downward trend, and are now in the conclusion of Wave 4, and as can be seen on the smaller timeframe, our entry point is already indicated for Wave 4. This should reach between 38.2% and 61.8%. If we should fall below that, we should also reconsider this bullish scenario, but we would set a market entry here as we have already fallen into the buying zone and expect a rise above Wave 3, so above the level of $259.6.

ZS Zscaler and the U.S. Gov Agencies Hit By CyberattackIf you haven`t bought ZS here: Then you should know that Zscaler provides cloud-based security solutions, including web security, data loss prevention, and cloud application security. In light of the recent news regarding cyberattacks on multiple U.S. government agencies, it is reasonable to expect an increased focus on cybersecurity measures, which could potentially benefit cybersecurity stocks in the market. These attacks highlight the vulnerabilities present in the software systems used by government entities, underscoring the urgent need for robust cybersecurity solutions. The fact that the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is actively investigating the breach indicates the seriousness of the situation and the government's commitment to addressing these security threats. As such, there may be a heightened emphasis on strengthening cybersecurity infrastructure and investing in advanced technologies to defend against future attacks. The reported involvement of a Russian-speaking hacking group known as CLOP in previous attacks serves as a reminder of the persistent and evolving nature of cyber warfare. This continuous threat landscape necessitates ongoing innovation and investment in cybersecurity. Considering these factors, cybersecurity stocks have the potential to experience an upward trajectory. Companies specializing in threat intelligence, network security, endpoint protection, and data encryption could be in high demand as organizations and governments seek to fortify their defenses against cyber threats. My Price Target for ZS is $185 by the end of the year. Looking forward to read your opinion about it!
