Expectations

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will Zoom's revenue growth meet or exceed the $1.2B consensus?

Revenue performance is critical for assessing the company's ability to sustain growth in a competitive landscape.

What guidance will management provide regarding future customer acquisition and retention?

Management's insights on customer trends will be key to understanding Zoom's long-term growth potential.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The consensus may underestimate Zoom's ability to capitalize on the ongoing shift to hybrid work environments, which could drive higher-than-expected revenue growth.

Supporting Evidence

Zoom's recent strong earnings surprises indicate robust demand that may not be fully reflected in current estimates.

The options market's implied move of 8.3% suggests that significant volatility is anticipated, indicating that investors are bracing for potential surprises.

Key Risk

If Zoom demonstrates strong customer retention and acquisition metrics, it could challenge the current revenue estimates.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The market is weighing Zoom's ability to sustain growth amidst increasing competition and changing customer needs.

Bull Confirmed If

Exceeding $1.2B in revenue and maintaining strong customer growth rates would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

Falling short of the $1.2B revenue target or weak guidance would confirm the bear case.
