William Blair analyst Arjun Bhatia has maintained their bullish stance on ZM stock, giving a Buy rating on February 21.
Arjun Bhatia has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Zoom Video Communications’ performance and strategic advancements. The company’s fourth-quarter results exceeded expectations, with significant contributions from the adoption of new offerings such as the Contact Center and Zoom Phone. Additionally, the integration of AI capabilities has been positively received, with a notable increase in the creation of accounts and meeting summaries. The financial strength of Zoom is also underscored by a substantial cash reserve and the initiation of a $1.5 billion share repurchase program, which reflects confidence in the company’s value.
The growth in revenue from enterprise-level customers and the stabilization of online monthly churn rates further bolster the case for a Buy rating. Despite conservative revenue guidance for the year, Zoom’s solid traction against established competitors in the Contact Center space and the tripling of licenses year-over-year demonstrate a strong competitive position. Moreover, trading at a multiple lower than that of peers suggests that the stock is undervalued, providing an attractive entry point for investors. Bhatia’s analysis suggests that Zoom’s strategic initiatives and financial prudence position it well for sustainable growth, justifying the Buy recommendation.
In another report released on February 21, Robert W. Baird also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $90.00 price target.
