Zscaler Inc (NASDAQ:ZS) is one of the 8 Best Cloud Computing Stocks To Buy In 2026. On May 1, Citizens analyst Trevor Walsh lowered his price target on Zscaler Inc. (NASDAQ:ZS) stock from $290 to $210 while keeping the Outperform rating. Heading into Q1 earnings, the firm revised its financial models in light of upcoming industry data. The demand for zero-trust and SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solutions continues to be high. However, concerns about cybersecurity risks stemming from advanced AI models have led to a re-rating of the sector, according to the analyst.
The valuation revision isn’t the only factor driving the stock’s price down. While Trevor Walsh cites the strong SASE demand as a bullish factor, JPMorgan on April 21 cited competition in the same to lower the stock’s price target from $200 to $155, suggesting the firm is even more bearish on the stock than Citizens. JPMorgan’s Meta Marshall also added that the firm’s original bull thesis on the stock revolved around platform expansion, which it does not see materializing anymore.
