Zscaler Financial Ratios 2026-2011 | ZS

Brief overview of Zscaler's valuation and returns

The review covers five available annual periods spanning 2021 to 2025.

Market valuation is represented by P/S 16.56x (median 16.56x), P/B 24.6x (median 31.83x), P/CF 45.52x (median 49.92x). The multiple basket looks neutral against its history, differing from median levels by roughly -8.8%.

Returns on assets and capital are represented by ROE -2.3%, ROA -0.6%, ROCE -7.1%. Current return ratios are negative, materially weakening the fundamental profile.

PEG of 0.55x shows valuation is not outpacing embedded growth. The conclusion depends on earnings durability.

The cash conversion cycle remains near its former level at 97.3 days after 88.1 days.

What the ratios show

Zscaler's profile looks neutral, with price and fundamental efficiency broadly aligned.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company Zscaler, allowing investors and analysts to quickly assess the company’s value and investment attractiveness based on the ratio of market indicators to the company’s financial performance. Essentially, multiples express how the market values the company relative to its earnings, revenue, equity, or other key metrics.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios
  • Simplified Data Analysis
    Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition.
  • Comparability Between Companies
    Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations.
  • Identification of Trends and Issues
    Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks.
  • Decision Support
    Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions.
  • Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
    Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.

Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
