Excellent prospects company shares at a reasonable price.

Why Zoom could get pushed off screen
🔻
The big picture: Businesses tend to like to get their services from as few vendors as possible, a trend that encourages bundling and makes it hard for ambitious, innovative start-ups to succeed.

• Earlier this month, Zoom announced it is expanding to offer email and calendar services as well as new types of casual collaboration features to augment its core video meeting feature.

Yes, but: Most companies already have an email and calendar system.

Between the lines: Analysts say Zoom is doing the right things, but still could be in trouble, as Microsoft, Google and Cisco all offer their own video conferencing options that can be bundled with other software.

Consider what happened to Slack: It had its market arguably far more to itself than Zoom does, yet it still struggled to compete as Microsoft bundled Teams into Office.

• Companies like Microsoft or Google can afford to add in more services without charging separately, a luxury the one-trick ponies can't afford.

• That's a big reason that Slack eventually sold itself to Salesforce.
