Can Zoom Make You...Happy?
It's such a drag to go in for a meeting. But Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM) is pleasing customers by making corporate conference rooms increasingly remote. Shakespeare said it best in As You Like It, "I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!"
The word "happy" is an unusual word to find when reading SEC filings. But if you peruse the ones from Zoom, you'll find them replete with that word. To illustrate, when Zoom filed its S-1 (the document all companies file before going public) it used happy and its derivatives 53 times. Just by comparison, recent IPOs like Slack Technologies only used the word twice in its S-1, and Uber Technologies didn't use the word at all. I don't mean to say that Slack and Uber are sad companies, but clearly, there is something distinctly happy about Zoom's business model.
