Zscaler started at neutral with $30 stock price target at UBS
Shares of cloud-based security company Zscaler Inc. are up 1.9% in premarket trading Tuesday following a raft of initiation notes from analysts. Credit Suisse's Brad Zelnick initiated coverage with an outperform rating, writing that the company has a large total addressable market and strong "first-mover" advantage. "While relative valuation appears rich, we believe Zscaler's opportunity is large enough, its secular tailwinds great enough, its offerings compelling enough, and its management team sufficiently capable to execute on its opportunity, exceed embedded expectations, and eventually deliver shareholders profitable long-term growth," wrote Zelnick, who has a $33 price target on shares. Needham's Alex Henderson initiated the stock with a strong buy rating and a $35 price target. Zscaler's stock closed at $26.54 on Monday. "We believe Zscaler is going to be a major company and recommend investors take a core position in the name," Henderson wrote. "The best corollary we can offer investors is Arista Networks , which grew from $400 million in revenue at the time of launch to a multi-billion revenue-base company." Shares are up 66% from their March IPO price of $16.
Smartsheet Inc. said it is launching an initial public offering, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Monday. The Bellevue, Wash.-based cloud-based business collaboration software said it hopes to raise up to $100 million but that amount is often used as a placeholder and revised in a later filing. Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Jefferies and RBC Capital Markets are listed as underwriters. Smartsheet reported fiscal 2018 revenue of $111.3 million with a loss of $49.1 million, compared to revenue of $67 million and a loss of $15.2 million in the year previous. The company plans to list under the ticker symbol "SMAR" on the New York Stock Exchange. The filing comes following the success of tech IPOs like Dropbox Inc. and Zscalar Inc. .
Dropbox said in a filing Wednesday morning that it was raising the expected range for its IPO pricing to between $18 and $20 a share. The prior range was between $16 and $18 a share. Reuters reported Monday that demand was strong and that Dropbox's IPO was oversubscribed. Dropbox is expected to price late Thursday and begin trading on Friday. Cloud-based security firm Zscaler Inc. priced its own public offering above its elevated range last week, and shares proceeded to double in their first day of trading Friday. Spotify Technology is expected to complete its public listing in early April.
Shares of Zscaler Inc. are down 17.6% in their second day of trading Monday, after more than doubling on Friday. Zscaler's initial public offering priced at $16, and the stock closed at $33 on Friday. Fellow unicorn Dropbox Inc. is expected to go public as well later this week. Though much of the tech sector is down in Monday trading due to concerns about Facebook Inc. , the far sharper decline in Zscaler's stock price speaks to the volatility of recent IPOs. The cloud-based security company has seen 5.1 million shares trade hands in Monday's session. Shares of other relatively recent big tech IPOs are down sharply during the session as well, with Stitch Fix Inc.'s stock off 6.5% and Roku Inc.'s stock down 6.9%. The S&P 500 has fallen 1.7% and the Nasdaq Composite Index is off 2.2%.
Zscaler shares more than double on first day of trade to close at $33
Shares of Zscaler Inc. , the first Silicon Valley tech unicorn to go public in 2018, surged 70% in their first trading debut Friday after they were priced above range in the company's IPO. The stock was up more than $11 at $27.41 in its first 10 minutes of trade. Zscaler sells cloud security software that lets IT departments monitor all the traffic on your corporate network while protecting it. The company sold 12 million shares to raise $192 million with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs acting as lead underwriters. The S&P 500 was up 0.4%. The stock is trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "ZS."
Zscaler stock jumps 70% in its trading debut
Cloud-based security company Zscaler Inc. reportedly priced its initial public offering above an already elevated range late Thursday. The company priced its IPO at $16 a share, according to IPO Boutique. Zscaler shares begin trading on the Nasdaq on Friday under the ticker symbol ZS. The company was originally planning to sell 10 million shares for $10 to $12 apiece, but recently bumped that up to 12 million shares and a $13-to-$15 price range.
Zscaler Inc. increased the size and target price of its initial public offering Tuesday morning, ahead of an expected market debut Friday. In an updated filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the security-software company said it now expects to sell at least 12 million shares at a price of $13 to $15 apiece, after previously seeking to sell 10 million shares at $10 to $12 each. At the midpoint of its new price range, Zscaler would pull in $168 million at an initial market cap of $1.64 billion. Zscaler expects to trade on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker symbol ZS, and underwriters--led by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs--have access to 1.8 million additional shares that could push the totals higher.
