Zscaler (ZS) has gained 48% in three months, yet trades about 43% below its 52-week high. Near $190 it costs 9.3 times sales, against 3.2 for the S&P 500. The question is which growth that price buys: the 25% reported for fiscal 2026, or the roughly 17% guided for fiscal 2027.

The risk here is more ordinary than the story. The revenue growth that supports a price like this is already slowing, and the product carrying the AI story is not the one producing the revenue yet.
