This summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.

Zoom Video Communications Inc. has made headlines with its recent $50 million investment in Anthropic, which could potentially yield significant returns given the startup's valuation approaching a billion dollars. However, experts express concerns about Zoom's competitive landscape, especially with formidable rivals like Microsoft, and mention that the company's growth rate has plateaued at about 3-4%, exposing it to pricing pressures and market saturation. The stock has recently fluctuated, particularly falling to $85, which marks a critical support level for investors to monitor. As the company prepares to report earnings soon, there are expectations for a solid performance, alongside hopes for diversification strategies that could lead to acquisitions. Overall, opinions on Zoom remain mixed as the firm navigates a complex environment.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The market has revalued ZM following its recent earnings release and now it is a TOP PICK. As companies reemerge from the pandemic, remote working is going to continue to play a larger role. The company has zero long term debt and almost one-quarter of the company's market cap is in cash. For the fifth consecutive quarter, revenue was over $1 billion showing its strategy has longevity. We recommend setting a trailing stop at $60, looking to achieve $120 -- upside potential over 47%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $136.77)
BUY
He has a good feeling about this and that their future earnings will confound the bears. The economy is still really strong. This has another leg up.
COMMENT
Zoom certainly won't return to previous highs, but it could see growth. To buy a stock, he would buy a 20% tranche at a time (five in all).
DON'T BUY
Microsoft has gotten aggressive with Microsoft Teams. Also, Zoom shares remain too high and can decline further.
DON'T BUY
If you say growth/tech stock are trading 90% below retail highs and are now worth buying, you're wrong to expect stocks like this to return to past levels. Change strategy, sectors and stocks.
COMMENT
Wall Street has left certain "pandemic" stocks for dead. This flew far too high during Covid then plunged hard. But Zoom is now a viable stock though it still trades at a high 35x PE. Too many competitors now, so Zoom has to do something to stand out. If not, then don't buy.
COMMENT
It reports Monday. Will business hold up as the pandemic recedes?
DON'T BUY
Good balance sheet and a good company, but they need to diversify their services, like making an acquisition. They recently failed to close a deal, so shares got punished.
DON'T BUY
Investors are not pulling out because of rising inflation. Also, they have already factored in that the outcome of Omicron will ultimately be a good one for society, and that the Fed will respond by being more hawkish. That's why overall risk in the market is changing. Large- and mega-caps continue to generate a lot of free cash flow and boast strong balance sheets. Markets will continue to rise, but don't invest in the speculative parts of the market. Where's Peloton, Zoom, small-cap biotechs or the Ark Investing stocks? Hedge funds are moving away from them. Trade up in quality.
DON'T BUY
2020 growth was fantastic, but now there are so many other choices in videoconferencing. ZM has retraced a lot, and will likely decline further over time, until another company buys it, since Zoom is a single-product company. You can short it, but he isn't buying it.
WATCH
It was once the hottest stock in the universe, but has become a total dog since it tanked a year ago. That said, could now be a buying opportunity if you feel Covid isn't going away. Let's hear what they say when they report late Monday. They have a lot of cash and opportunities. We'll judge then.
DON'T BUY
People are desperate to do things in person again, as there's a lot of Zoom fatigue.
WAIT
United Air vs. Zoom Video Now, post-Covid, United has doubled off its lows while Zoom has cut in half from its highs. Bet on United, not Zoom, because international travel is making a comeback after people have saved up their money. He predicts the holiday season will see huge travelling. Business travel may come back in Q1 next year, but Zoom is too efficient and too good and saves a lot of money. Zoom trades at 57x earnings (not sales). Zoom is here to stay and long-term the stock is good. But near-term, Zoom needs to do something new, like video games, or gambling. United has more room to run while Zoom is one acquisition away from turning things around.
COMMENT
They hold a conference next week. Zoom needs to show they can grow aggressively through new products and acquisitions. If not, this will give up gains in recent days.
COMMENT

Usage has gone down, maybe because people are returning to the office and students are on vacation. Also, there's more competition now, not just Microsoft and Google. Zoom and its technology are here to stay, but the valuation needs to come down. As we normalize work and people return to offices, then businesses may use other platforms, or the small offices may use the free Zoom service. Zoom is more branded than its peers, so that is a competitive advantage. However, students will return to classes and won't be taking classes online.
