Zscaler Earnings: Impressive Traction in Emerging Products Drives Sales Growth for the Quarter

Malik Ahmed Khan

Along with strong execution in its core business, we were encouraged to see a fourth of Zscaler’s new and upselling business coming from its emerging products category. The strong growth in emerging products, coupled with management’s commentary on customer spending, lends further credence to our existing thesis that Zscaler stands to benefit from increased vendor consolidation as customers seek to simplify their cybersecurity outlay.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Zscaler has strong secular tailwinds behind its back as the convergence of networking and the security market is in its early innings.

Bears

Large public cloud vendors often offer their own cybersecurity solutions, which could hamper Zscaler’s growth opportunities.
