Here is what Alger Mid Cap Focus Fund said:
“Zoom Video Communications offers a cloud-native, video-first communications platform that transforms how people communicate. interact and work together. It offers a better, more efficient experience. easy onboarding and use and capabilities for addressing enterprise needs around scalability. cost and minimal IT involvement. The company seeks to make video collaboration that “just works,” delivering high-quality and frictionless video. voice. chat and content sharing across multiple devices and mediums. Users of Zoom benefit from a platform that is easy to deploy, use and manage that is also scalable and can easily integrate with any workspace, facilitating greater work effectiveness.
Zoom has experienced explosive growth in revenues and profitability in 2020 as it has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the work from anywhere trend resulting from the pandemic. The company saw rapid adoption of its service across enterprise customers. small and medium businesses and individuals. This adoption extended across sectors like education, health care, government and financial services. The price of Zoom shares declined in the fourth quarter after climbing approximately 591% during the first nine months of the year. Some investors believe that Zoom revenue growth and margins have peaked. However. we believe that Zoom is positioned to generate strong revenues and profitability. but it faces the possibility of employees returning to their workplace once the vaccine gets widely distributed. We believe the company is positioned to generate attractive long¬term performance, but its shares could potentially remain range bound until a normalized growth trajectory emerges.”
