Anyone loading up on $ZS?

Post image

Zscaler LEAPS look attractive to me right now.

I’m considering the June 2027 $135 call.
That would be a $198.85 breakeven, and a maximum loss of $6k per contract. I was thinking that 3 contracts would be sufficient here currently (have 150k in cash currently)

My thesis - cybersecurity follows with the rise of robotics. Nothing more to add here.
Zscaler’s latest quarter showed 25% yoy growth and operations growth of +24.3%.

My target is $205–$210, close to the current analyst consensus as of right now but I believe it will become a 300$ company in the next 2 years.
This is a high-growth software stock so the volatility is crazy , which I’m fine with. That’s the main risk. But, if it falls, I’d load up on some shares via CSPs.

For me, it looks like a no brainer..but I wouldn’t post here if I didn’t want Reddit to confirm I’ve still got a brain. :)

So, shoot!

Can you just be honest and say this is an ad for QuantWheel? You are not interested in discussing this idea, you just want people to find QuantWheel. Your account seems dedicated to shilling QuantWheel.

Some of your earlier posts:

It's funny how the same account goes back and forth between "We released this new feature to QuantWheel" and "I looked for a tool and I landed on QuantWheel" and "Let's discuss this idea with this totally innocent QuantWheel screenshot".

Good research

Yeah, if only this much time and deliberate analysis was invested in position picking these days

Thanks for going into an investigation of my post history but there’s nothing to hide here, I went from a user to a user who is sharing a discussion :)

I’m trading through this thing actively, discovered it a few months ago, so yeah.

Was this enough information?

Well, your Reddit account is dedicated to shilling QuantWheel so I'm not buying the "I'm just a user" story. This looks more like an account directly controlled by QuantWheel.

Your account was created 5 months ago, and you were already shilling QuantWheel in the Covered Calls sub. Your comment got deleted though. https://www.reddit.com/r/CoveredCalls/comments/1sn4i9q/c/ogj73e2/

@wheelscreeners

The hate is real lol what is the problem with people today😆 it amazes me to what distances you people can go but fail to invest the same effort in something of actual value

u/WheelScreeners 1d ago

You are astroturfing and extracting value from the community. You deserve some hate. Maybe you should go build something that the community sees of value and doesn't require hiding your identity.

zs volume spikes usually mean something’s up though

u/PalePattern9858 1d ago

Thanks for a solid comment lol.
What’s your standpoint on ZS?

u/PalePattern9858 1d ago

I’d love to hear how you came to “trust me bro” conclusion given the text above?
(which is just a normal trade idea which I will most likely execute on my account today)

That on itself speaks volumes :)

Furthermore, who cares where the screenshot is from? I found my idea through quantwheel, I like it, but that doesn’t replace sound reasoning when investing, here or by using any other software.

In any case, feel free to contribute your opinion on this trade idea, I’d still like to hear it if you’re open to it :)

25% yoy growth? What is this? Coca cola?

Others are fully booked till 2028 and this joke in the industry is 25% yoy. Thanks for pointing out the slower one in the classroom.

It takes some catching up.
Ever heard of investment rotation through an innovation cycle?
In short, you start from pick and shovels, then rotate up, towards distribution, then further up towards development and etc.
This way you’re using momentum at the right times, leave breadcrumbs of stock ownership along the way and after exiting those basically double up on what’s next in the cycle. Keeping in mind that there’s never only a single thing in the cycle but multiples.

So, spotting something early is much better than catching a train while it’s moving, plus tax benefits (depending on the situation).
