What we’re watching as the ad-supported plan plays out. How the Chinese rival to Tesla is charging ahead.ģ Lessons for investors from Elon Musk’s bid and the Twitter soap opera. How one court ruling cut a stock price in half. And with Zoom Phone adding double the users RingCentral did last quarter - and the company’s Contact Center software up to 2 years ahead of deal size projections – we can see the effects of Zoom’s networks. Going ahead, much of the growth we see at Zoom could be further integration with enterprise customers and even programmed into other software like Salesforce. Enterprise clients drove 54% of revenue and those with over $100,000 in revenue were up 37% year over year.
We think that customers are likely to remain with Zoom for years, but that silver lining might not be the best part. As senior equity analyst Dan Romanoff points out, nearly every organization of commercial size that uses Zoom also uses Microsoft Office, which includes Teams. But being quick and easy to deploy also encourages organizations to have multiple communications apps.
Zoom’s rapid and easy rollout during the pandemic might have investors worried about low switching costs. That’s part of what’s known as the ‘network effect’ at Zoom. At first glance, Zoom’s switching costs might not seem great… It’s as easy to uninstall, as it is to install, right? But, what happens when someone important who owns a paid account wants to call you? I bet the app finds its way back. This gets to the core of why we’ve assigned a narrow moat rating to the stock. But despite the growth of paid users not being great, it’s worth appreciating the fact that most users are likely to remain – which means recurring and maybe even growing revenue streams.
