CFO Remo Canessa sold 3.7K ZS shares at $199.15; retains 213.7K shares, stock down 6.1% in 30 days.
Canessa sold 3,721 shares at $199.15 on 2025-03-18, representing a -1.7% reduction from his pre-transaction holdings of 217,423 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high ($216.87), with the stock now trading at $203.55, down 6.1% over 30 days and 8.6% higher over 90 days. His same-ticker history at ZS shows a poor pattern: 0 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day horizon, with recent December 2024 sells followed by stock declines of 5.9% to 6.4%, but earlier September 2024 sales preceded gains of 11.8% to 12.2%. His cross-ticker track record shows more favorable outcomes (90-day well-timed rate 55.00%, avg 90d return +6.6%), but this specific ticker demonstrates inconsistent execution. The sale occurs as the company remains unprofitable (net income of $-7.7M in the latest quarter) despite strong revenue growth of 34.1%, adding a layer of fundamental caution to the discretionary reduction in holdings.
