My stance: I finally bit the bullet and got onboard with ZM, even with its already astronomical valuation — there are too many good trends. Unfortunately, this decision was made after most of the recent run-up … but better late than never. Way too many positives. Similar large cap range as SHOP and SQ but still growing revenue double what they are. Beyond that, they are rapidly scaling up their cash flow and profit while still having this massive hypergrowth. Great combination! Like TomG stated in his post above, easy to ultimately see the company hit 100B marketcap. Int’l expansion is major goal, now only 23% of rev. The high margins went higher — but they signaled it will drop back to low-80s w capacity additions this yr. That is a good problem to have. They’ve been strained by all the new users from this pandemic, and the mostly-free traffic they’ve generated — but we know from Zoom’s past that that massive influx of free users will only pay off going forward, as users use it more and more and ultimately convert to paying. They seem like they have a great handle on capacity and infrastructure needs. But it all boils down to how insanely profitable they are at this stage of hypergrowth. I like! Just wish I acted immediately when it finally went to top of watchlist back in December, instead of delaying til February - lesson learned.
