If you believe FTNT can sustain high profitability and mid-teens growth without re-rating compression, then hold or accumulate on weakness because its margins and earnings base are materially stronger than ZS even though the current valuation is rich versus ZS.
On the provided P/S framework, FTNT trades at 17.5x versus ZS at 9.1x, which makes FTNT look expensive on a relative sales basis despite superior profitability. The implied price of $84.06 is 48.1% below the current price of $161.95, but that gap is driven by the chosen multiple framework and not by weaker operating performance.
