How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 25.0x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: ZS is currently trading at $181.75, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $145.55 to $177.12. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 39.5) is in line with its historical norms (38.6). At these levels, the market is pricing in 0.8% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.

Technical Outlook: Technically, ZS is in a uptrend. Immediate support is located at $168.00, while resistance sits at $190.97. The stock is showing strong short-term momentum, up 3.9% recently.

Market Sentiment: ZS scores 0/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge. Note this measures entry quality, not trend direction — a low score can mean the chart is extended after a strong run (don't chase) or still falling without stabilization; better entries typically come after a pullback toward the 20-day average. Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
