  • Zoom Communications (ZM) Seen Undervalued Amid Recent Price Drop and Modest Growth
    January 21, 2026, 3:15 PM EST. Zoom Communications (ZM) has experienced a recent share price pullback, trading at $81.32 with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 15.1x, below the U.S. software industry average of 30.9x and its estimated fair value of 23.9x. Despite a modest revenue growth rate of 3.65% and a 7.75% decline in annual net income, the stock appears undervalued by discounted cash flow (DCF) estimates, which suggest a fair value of $122.70. Investors face the challenge of determining whether forthcoming cash flows will meet expectations amid cautious market sentiment. Zoom's one-year total shareholder return stands at 3.54%, signaling mixed performance against a longer-term 78.28% five-year gain. This valuation gap prompts reassessment of growth potential and risks in the broader tech sector.
