Evercore将Zscaler加入战术性看跌名单，关注Q4财报前竞争压力与GTM中断风险
Evercore战术性看空名单是单一券商的观点性定位而非正式降级或已确认的基本面恶化；股价已从52周高点下跌50%、近5日跌9.3%，盘前-4.1%在盘中恢复至-0.3%说明市场认为增量有限；9月3日财报是二元事件，做空进入财报的期望值不佳；不满足做空红线'明确强空催化'要求

不做 Zscaler（ZS.US）
单一券商战术性看空名单不构成'明确强空催化'（评级和目标价均未变）；股价已从52周高下跌50%且近5日跌9.3%，盘前-4%盘中恢复至-0.3%表明增量有限；9/3财报是二元事件，做空进入财报期望值差；不满足做空红线①

结论摘要
Evercore将ZS加入Tactical Underperform List，核心论点是FY27 ARR可能接近指引低端、竞争加剧和GTM中断。但这是单一分析师基于渠道调研的观点性定位（评级和目标价均未变），不构成已确认的基本面恶化。股价已从52周高$337跌至$168（-50%），近5日跌9.3%表明市场对GTM中断已有定价。盘前跌4.1%后盘中仅-0.3%，说明增量信息有限。距9/3财报仅一周，做空进入二元事件风险收益比差。

Zscaler (ZS) was in focus on Wednesday as Evercore added the cybersecurity company to its Tactical Underperform List ahead of its upcoming fourth-quarter results, set to be released on Sept. 3.
Shares fell 3.3% in premarket trading.
“Ahead of ZS’s F4Q report on Thursday (9/3), we are adding ZS to the TAP U/P List as our more cautious field work this quarter suggest that some of our N/T concerns seem to be lingering which likely limits any potential upside and limits the upside to the initial FY27 guide,” Evercore analyst Peter Levine wrote in a note to clients. “While mgmt reset FY27 ARR expectations in F3Q, our work points to continued pressure on the underlying fundamentals from intensifying competition and signs of further GTM disruption.”
Levine has an In Line rating and a $155 price target on Zscaler.
Delving deeper, Levine is concerned that annual recurring revenue for fiscal 2027 could be near the low end of management's initial guidance, as channel checks indicated “limited evidence of upside.”
“While upsell activity remains healthy, partners continue to flag an increasingly important question around the composition and durability of growth into FY27, given persistent softness in net-new logos and limited evidence that the down-market motion is gaining traction,” Levine added. “We continue to hear of increasing competitive pressure from NTSK, Cato Networks, and PANW, particularly among customers looking to consolidate. We also remain cautious on GTM execution following the departure of two sales leaders who collectively oversaw ~40% of bookings, with our checks pointing to additional rep turnover in their wake.”
A consensus of analysts expects Zscaler to earn $1.09 per share on $877.59M in revenue for the coming quarter.
