Why? For one reason, business valuations are calculated usingfuture expected profits, the expected rate of growth of said profits, and the degree of certainty with which they'll be generated. For example,<b>Alphabet</b>has a market cap of $1.68 trillion, even though global digital advertising (which is 80% of Google's total revenue) is expected to be $455 billion this year.</p>\n<p>The point is this: Don't balk at Zoom's lofty valuation just because it's already far larger than the industry it's pioneering. Besides, consider what's up for grabs here. The telecom industry soaks up $1.5 trillion a year from businesses and consumers. If Zoom cancontinue to expand on its capabilities, some of this massive market could go the way of video in the next 10 years -- and just a small fraction of $1.5 trillion will move the needle in a big way.</p>\n<p>Lots of cash now, an unimaginable amount of cash later</p>\n<p>But can Zoom really execute on such an ambitious plan? After all, its core video conferencing service is slowing down as effects of the pandemic ease. Revenue growth is expected to be about 50% this year, which implies quite the cool-off from the 191% growth rate notched in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.</p>\n<p>But remember that Zoom doesn't fit within the definitional confines of a communications service. This is a cloud-based software service, which means it has flexibility -- like how it recently announced the acquisition of a real-time machine-based translation start-up called Kites GmbH. It's also been promoting its Zoom Phone service for businesses to provide a more flexible telephone system than what's offered by legacy telecoms. Zoom has an incredible $4.69 billion in cash and equivalents and zero debt on balance; compare that to net<i>debt</i>positions most telecom operations have these days. Put another way, Zoom is a nimble software technologist in the driver's seat of disrupting how people stay in touch.</p>\n<p>This trend isn't going to suddenly reverse, either. Zoom generates massive amounts of cash every quarter. Itsfree cash flowprofit margin was 47% in Q1, good for $454 million in extra cash over and above what it needed in its operations. That tiny real-time translation start-up acquisition could be just the beginning if and when Zoom decides to start flexing its muscles.</p>\n<p>Between a growing video conferencing market, a massive telecom industry getting upended by cloud computing, and the cash to keep the pedal to the metal, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Zoom can stoke the flames of about 26% a year annual average growth through 2030. Zoom as a $1 trillion business simply isn't all that far-fetched an idea in a post-COVID-19 world.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Will Zoom Video Communications Be a Trillion-Dollar Stock by 2030?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWill Zoom Video Communications Be a Trillion-Dollar Stock by 2030?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-12 16:38 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/11/zoom-video-trillion-dollar-stock-2030/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Zoom Video Communications(NASDAQ:ZM)is coming off of an epic year of triple-digit-percentage sales growth and has been catapulted into global consciousness by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenue growth is expected to be about 50% this year, which implies quite the cool-off from the 191% growth rate notched in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.\nBut remember that Zoom doesn't fit within the definitional confines of a communications service. This is a cloud-based software service, which means it has flexibility -- like how it recently announced the acquisition of a real-time machine-based translation start-up called Kites GmbH. It's also been promoting its Zoom Phone service for businesses to provide a more flexible telephone system than what's offered by legacy telecoms. Zoom has an incredible $4.69 billion in cash and equivalents and zero debt on balance; compare that to netdebtpositions most telecom operations have these days. Put another way, Zoom is a nimble software technologist in the driver's seat of disrupting how people stay in touch.\nThis trend isn't going to suddenly reverse, either. Zoom generates massive amounts of cash every quarter. Itsfree cash flowprofit margin was 47% in Q1, good for $454 million in extra cash over and above what it needed in its operations. That tiny real-time translation start-up acquisition could be just the beginning if and when Zoom decides to start flexing its muscles.\nBetween a growing video conferencing market, a massive telecom industry getting upended by cloud computing, and the cash to keep the pedal to the metal, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Zoom can stoke the flames of about 26% a year annual average growth through 2030. Zoom as a $1 trillion business simply isn't all that far-fetched an idea in a post-COVID-19 world.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":248,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143425971,"gmtCreate":1625811396093,"gmtModify":1703749043367,"author":{"id":"4087505471938110","authorId":"4087505471938110","name":"yaytomoolah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087505471938110","authorIdStr":"4087505471938110"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/143425971","repostId":"1175159799","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175159799","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625799375,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1175159799?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-09 10:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Another Summer, Another Deep-Dive into Leisure Stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175159799","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"The U.S. hospitality industry had a horrible 2020, with hotel occupancy starting to decline at the e","content":"<p>The U.S. hospitality industry had a horrible 2020, with hotel occupancy starting to decline at the end of the first quarter when the pandemic hit, and remaining below 40% through January this year.

And as many of us already know, when an industry is positioned in the top 50% (the higher the better), there’s historical data showing that it’s likely to offer above-market returns. Especially so, if the stocks we are considering also have a Zacks #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy) rank.</p>\n<p>So let’s see what we have here-</p>\n<p><b>Academy Sports and Outdoors, Inc.ASO</b>, which offers outdoor, apparel, footwear and sports & recreation gear has the #1 rank we are looking for. With Value and Growth Scores of A; expected revenue growth of 9.9% and expected earnings growth of 23.8%; and a 90- day change in the fiscal 2022 (ending January) and 2023 earnings estimates of 62.9% and 28.1%, respectively, this stock looks like a solid pick.</p>\n<p>Number two on the list is<b>Clarus CorporationCLAR</b>, which designs and manufactures outdoor equipment and apparel for climbing, mountaineering, backpacking, skiing and other outdoor recreation activities. While this Zacks Rank #1 stock’s Value and Growth Scores of F are less than desirable, the expected revenue growth of 32.7% and earnings growth of 81.4% are pretty encouraging. The estimate revision trend for 2021 shows a 23-cent increase to $1.27 in the last 90 days. The 2022 estimate shows a 30-cent increase to $1.55.</p>\n<p>Next we have<b>Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc.SWBI</b>, the well-known manufacturer of pistols, revolvers, rifles, handcuffs and other related products and accessories. Apart from its Value, Growth and Momentum Scores of A, SWBI also has a Zacks #1 rank, which together indicate strong upside potential. And while the company is seeing somewhat difficult comps from a strong 2020, the estimate revision trend shows that it continues to move in the right direction.</p>\n<p>So we find that the fiscal 2022 (ending April) earnings estimate is up 145.8% in the last 90 days. The 2023 wasn’t available 90 days ago, but since it became available 60 days ago, it has increased 66.3%.</p>\n<p>#1 ranked<b>YETI Holdings, Inc.YETI</b>is known for its outdoor products targeting activities like hunting, fishing, camping, barbecue, farm and ranch, etc. The stock has got an encouraging B for Growth, but an F for everything else, which is not so hot. But a look at its double-digit revenue and earnings growth estimates for 2021 and 2022 are nothing short of exciting.</p>\n<p>Moreover, there’s also a positive estimate revision trend: the 2021 earnings estimate is up 8.8% while the 2022 estimate is up 9.1% in the last 90 days.</p>\n<p><b>Lazydays Holdings, Inc.LAZY</b>is the last <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> I’m discussing here. You can head over to theindustry pageon zacks.com for more choices (it’s a really long list). This <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> has got an A for both Value and Growth and a B for Momentum. It’s currently expected to grow revenue and earnings by a respective 20.7% and 22.4% this year.</p>\n<p>While estimates from 90 days ago aren’t available, I’m seeing a 17-cent jump in the 2021 estimate in the last 60 days and a 20-cent jump in the 2022 estimate. And this is definitely a good trend.</p>\n<p><u><b>Year-to-Date Price Performance</b></u><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f67ac3639c296d20c6476ab01f8959b\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"508\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><i>Image Source: ZacksInvestment Research</i></p>\n<p><b>5 Stocks Set to Double</b></p>\n<p>Each was hand-picked by a Zacks expert as the #1 favorite stock to gain +100% or more in 2020.

The 2022 estimate shows a 30-cent increase to $1.55.\nNext we haveSmith & Wesson Brands, Inc.SWBI, the well-known manufacturer of pistols, revolvers, rifles, handcuffs and other related products and accessories. Apart from its Value, Growth and Momentum Scores of A, SWBI also has a Zacks #1 rank, which together indicate strong upside potential. And while the company is seeing somewhat difficult comps from a strong 2020, the estimate revision trend shows that it continues to move in the right direction.\nSo we find that the fiscal 2022 (ending April) earnings estimate is up 145.8% in the last 90 days. The 2023 wasn’t available 90 days ago, but since it became available 60 days ago, it has increased 66.3%.\n#1 rankedYETI Holdings, Inc.YETIis known for its outdoor products targeting activities like hunting, fishing, camping, barbecue, farm and ranch, etc. The stock has got an encouraging B for Growth, but an F for everything else, which is not so hot. But a look at its double-digit revenue and earnings growth estimates for 2021 and 2022 are nothing short of exciting.\nMoreover, there’s also a positive estimate revision trend: the 2021 earnings estimate is up 8.8% while the 2022 estimate is up 9.1% in the last 90 days.\nLazydays Holdings, Inc.LAZYis the last one I’m discussing here. You can head over to theindustry pageon zacks.com for more choices (it’s a really long list). This one has got an A for both Value and Growth and a B for Momentum. It’s currently expected to grow revenue and earnings by a respective 20.7% and 22.4% this year.\nWhile estimates from 90 days ago aren’t available, I’m seeing a 17-cent jump in the 2021 estimate in the last 60 days and a 20-cent jump in the 2022 estimate. And this is definitely a good trend.\nYear-to-Date Price PerformanceImage Source: ZacksInvestment Research\n5 Stocks Set to Double\nEach was hand-picked by a Zacks expert as the #1 favorite stock to gain +100% or more in 2020. Each comes from a different sector and has unique qualities and catalysts that could fuel exceptional growth.\nMost of the stocks in this report are flying under Wall Street radar, which provides a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.\nNumber two on the list isClarus CorporationCLAR, which designs and manufactures outdoor equipment and apparel for climbing, mountaineering, backpacking, skiing and other outdoor recreation activities.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, rates have dived lower, with the 10-year Treasury trading at a 1.32% yield, down from near 1.70% at the end of May. The benchmark 30-year Treasury bond is back at the 1.94% level. These are the lowest interest rate levels since last winter.\nFor income investors, this is another setback in what has become over a ten-year problem. While rates certainly could rise again, one thing seems certain: the Federal Reserve will not raise rates until it is positive the economy is back at full strength. The only move the Fed looks poised to make in the near term is the beginning of the tapering of the $120 billion per month purchase of Treasury and mortgage debt.\nWe screened the BofA Securities research universe looking for blue chip stocks rated Buy that paid at least a 4% dividend. We found five that are very appealing now to growth and income investors. While all are rated Buy, it is important to remember that no single analyst report should be used as a sole basis for any buying or selling decision.\nAltria\nThis maker of tobacco products offers value investors a great entry point now and was hit recently as cigarette sales have slowed. Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO) is the parent company of Philip Morris USA (cigarettes), UST (smokeless), John Middleton (cigars), Ste. Michelle Wine Estates and Philip Morris Capital. PMUSA enjoys a 51% share of the U.S. cigarette market, led by its top cigarette brand Marlboro.\nAltria also owns over 10% of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s largest brewer. In March 2008, it spun off its international cigarette business to shareholders. In December 2018, the company acquired 35% of Juul Labs, and it has purchased a 45% stake in cannabis company Cronus for $1.8 billion.\nBofA Securities is very favorable toward the company’s plans for the future:\n\n Management presented at CAGNY (Consumer Analyst Group of New York) where it discussed a new corporate focus on ESG, additional details on its IQOS plans and its “Moving beyond smoking” 10-yr plan. Smokeables (cigarettes/cigars) will remain an important part of its strategy, providing funding behind its long-term growth and shareholder returns. Over the last 5-yrs, smokeable and other comprehensive income grew at a 5.5% compounded annual growth rate despite volume declines.\n\nShareholders receive a 7.35% dividend. The analyst has a $58 target price on the shares, while the consensus target is lower at $53.89. Altria stock closed on Wednesday at $46.79 per share.\nChevron\nThis energy giant is a solid way for investors who are more conservative to be positioned in the sector. Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) is a U.S.-based integrated oil and gas company, with worldwide operations in exploration and production, refining and marketing, transportation and petrochemicals. The company sports a sizable dividend and has a solid place in the sector when it comes to natural gas and liquefied natural gas.\nWith the strongest financial base of the majors, coupled with an attractive relative asset base, many on Wall Street feel that Chevron offers the most straightforwardly positive risk/reward. Although current conditions do not warrant a large focus on production growth, Chevron possesses numerous medium-term drivers (Noble integration, Permian, TCO/WPMP expansion, Gulf of Mexico exploration, Vaca Muerta, and so on) that should support production levels in the coming years.\nIBM\nThis old-school tech giant still offers investors a very solid entry point. International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) is a leading provider of enterprise solutions, offering a broad portfolio of information technology (IT) hardware, business and IT services, and a full suite of software solutions.\nThe company integrates its hardware products with its software and services offerings in order to provide high-value solutions. Analysts have cited the company’s potential in the public cloud as a reason for their positive outlook going forward.\nCEO Ginni Rommety, who had been in the position since 2012, stepped down in January, and the stock market greeted the news in a very positive manner. Arvind Krishna, who has led the company’s cloud computing business, became the new chief executive. Rometty will remain as executive board chair until the end of the year.\nHolders of IBM stock receive a 4.69% dividend. The $175 BofA Securities price target is well above the $144.14 consensus figure. The shares closed at $139.82 on Wednesday.\nShareholders receive a 5.21% dividend, which analysts feel comfortable will remain at current levels. The BofA Securities price target is $125, which compares to a $122.48 consensus target and the last Chevron stock trade on Wednesday at $102.93 a share.\nLyondellBasell\nThis top chemical company with a sterling balance sheet is another solid play for conservative investors. LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (NYSE: LYB) manufactures chemicals and polymers, refines crude oil, produces gasoline blending components and develops and licenses technologies for production of polymers.\nOver half of earnings are generated in the company’s Olefins and Polyolefins Americas segment, where costs are linked to the price of cheap natural gas in the United States, while selling prices are correlated with the price of oil. The company has pursued a strategy of low-cost, high return on invested capital debottlenecks coupled with cash returns to shareholders.\nNote that debottlenecking is the process of identifying specific areas or equipment in oil and gas facilities that limit the flow of product (known as bottlenecks) and optimizing them so that overall capacity in the plant can be increased.\nThe company offers a 4.50% dividend. BofA Securities has set a $117 price target.
