Jefferies says Zscaler's $10B ARR target by 2031 looks ambitious despite reaffirmed 2027 guidance.

Zscaler reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 guidance, easing concerns about leadership changes, but Jefferies views its $10 billion annual recurring revenue (ARR) target for 2031 as ambitious. The cybersecurity firm aims for over $8 billion ARR by 2031, implying 17% annual growth, with an upside scenario of $10 billion ARR driven partly by AI. Jefferies raised its price target to $250 but cautions that reaching $10 billion ARR requires significant growth acceleration and strong traction in security operations and AI security, facing competition from CrowdStrike. Near-term growth outlook for 2027 ARR could exceed expectations by 2-3 percentage points.

Zscaler shares trade at USD 212.98 on Pluang as of Oct 08, 2026 01:21 WIB, showing a modest 0.34% gain for the day. The stock holds a market cap of $34.61 billion and an enterprise value of $32.99 billion, with a strong buy sentiment at 73% of Pluang order activity. This trading context highlights investor interest despite Jefferies' caution on the ambitious $10 billion ARR target for 2031.
