B. Riley Securities has initiated coverage on Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS), a leading cybersecurity company, with a Neutral rating. The firm cited Zscaler's recent outperformance but advised investors to wait before buying, setting a $275 price target on the stock [1].Zscaler, known for its SaaS-based cloud cybersecurity services, has been recognized for its strong market position and impressive 25% year-over-year revenue growth. The company's proprietary technology platform is highlighted for its scalability and ability to perform multiple cybersecurity services. B. Riley also noted Zscaler's strong sales execution, which has attracted new accounts and expanded into its large installed base [2].
