Zscaler Inc. shares rose 6.17% and reached a 5-day high amid positive growth expectations.
Analysts predict that Zscaler will achieve profitability by 2027, requiring a 46% annual growth rate, despite reporting a loss of $41 million last year. The company's high debt level poses risks, but its strong market performance and innovative product expansion indicate a positive trend towards breakeven.
The implications of these developments suggest that while Zscaler faces challenges, its growth potential and customer loyalty may attract investor interest, positioning the company favorably in the competitive cloud security market.
