It's Tuesday, August 31st. Welcome to Market, Florida. I'm Chris Hill with me today from

0:07.4

the financial capital of the United States of America. It's Maria Gallagher. Thanks for

0:11.2

being here. Thanks so much for having me. We've got a parallel retail. We have an interesting

0:16.2

transaction between two tech companies, but we're going to begin today with Zoom video.

0:20.8

The highlight of Zoom's second quarter report is the fact that revenue was not only higher

0:24.8

than expected. It topped $1 billion for the first time ever, but growth is slowing down

0:30.7

and investors really don't seem to like that because shares of Zoom are down 15 percent

0:35.8

today.

0:36.8

Yeah, it was a stellar quarter. Their revenue was about a billion, 54 percent, which exceeded

And they have a total cash of over $5 billion. So I think I don't really understand. It

1:16.8

was a really stellar quarter for Zoom. It's continuing to do well, especially with comparative

1:23.1

to last year with the law of large numbers. It's much harder to have that growth over 300

1:28.8

percent as we had seen in 2020. But they're consistently delivering. And with all of that

1:34.3

cash, I just think that they're going to continue to innovate. And I'm excited to see

1:39.2

what they do.

1:40.4

Yeah. And I don't have shares of Zoom video in my portfolio. And I have to say I'm a little

1:48.2

surprised at this because it really seems like not that there are no switching costs involved.
