Stockchase Opinions

Guy Adami Zscaler Inc. ZS-Q BUY Jun 02, 2021

Cybersecurity stocks--despite several recent major hacks--have gone nowhere, because of their high valuations by any metric. In mid-April they topped and sold off, but are back to their April highs, including Palo Alto and Zscaler. The bigger picture is that what happens if cybercriminals go after the banks or exchanges? Yes, these stocks are expensive, but you want to buy them, such as Palo and Zscaler. Cyber attacks aren't going away, but will get worse.
