☆ Jim Cramer says buy Zscaler 'when the smoke clears' around its earnings report
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-28 | by ( Kevin Stankiewicz | In Kevinstankiewicz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The initial post-earnings decline in Zscaler (ZS) shares opened the door for investors to soon buy the cybersecurity stock, CNBC's Jim Cramer said Tuesday. "When the smoke clears ... go back in because cybersecurity is still the hottest area in the U.S. economy," Cramer said on "Squawk on the Street." Shares of Zscaler were about flat around noon ET at $191 each, well off their lows earlier in the session. However, Cramer said investors were disappointed, in part, by a 37% quarter-over-quarter decline in total billings growth. For Zscaler, Cramer said he's also looking past the billings metrics and more focused on the long-term opportunity for the company because digital security threats remain abundant.

Nov 27 (Reuters) - Zscaler (ZS.O) forecast quarterly revenue above analysts' estimates on Monday, but indications of strong cybersecurity spending were overshadowed by rising operating expenses. Shares of Zscaler fell more than 6% in after-hours trading as the cloud security company's operating expenses for the first quarter jumped by about 24% to $431.4 million. For the second quarter, Zscaler expects revenue between $505 million and $507 million, above analysts' average estimate of $496.7 million, according to LSEG data. Zscaler also raised its annual revenue and profit forecasts. The company's annual revenue is now estimated to be between $2.09 billion and $2.10 billion, compared to its previous forecast of $2.05 billion to $2.07 billion.

A new report has an ominous warning for air travelers. "No matter what you do on a plane, you're probably annoying another passenger," it states. "When the unwritten rules of airlines etiquette are broached, it can lead to conflict," writes Lindsey Roeschke, a travel and hospitality analyst at Morning Consult who authored the report. Nearly one in five respondents said concerns about other passengers' behavior may deter them from taking a trip. Some 77% of people in the survey said they were "bothered" by it, with 51% saying they were "very bothered."

☆ Is FOSO the new FOMO? How the 'fear of switching off' could affect your vacations
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-01 | by ( Lee Ying Shan | Harriet Akinyi | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

The nagging feeling which keeps travelers tethered to their devices has been coined the fear of switching off, or FOSO. It's loosely similar to the fear of missing out (FOMO), commonly denoted as the worries of not being included in exciting experiences or activities that others are a part of. FOSO can be seen as an extension of FOMO, said Handcock. "The fear of disconnecting from devices partially stems from a fear of missing out on work and home updates," he elaborated. Gideon Mendel | Corbis Historical | Getty ImagesAccording to the survey by Priority Pass, FOSO is more prevalent among younger travelers.
