If you believe ZS can keep revenue growth above PANW while converting that growth into positive operating margins, then the stock can justify a premium-to-historical valuation; otherwise, the cleaner choice is to stay cautious because the current upside to PANW-implied price is driven more by multiple assumptions than by proven profitability.
At the current price of $151.20, ZS sits inside its historical valuation band of $136.08 to $166.32, so it is not obviously dislocated on an absolute basis. Versus PANW-implied price of $495.23, however, the stock shows a large apparent upside of 227.5%, but that gap is heavily driven by the valuation framework and the much higher PANW multiple.
