The analyst said she believes Zoom’s fiscal 2023 guidance is conservative, with “strong execution on product expansion (Zoom Rooms, Zoom Contact Center, Zoom Chat) and upselling into its Enterprise segment customers” likely to re-accelerate growth.

The downturn in the stock has created “more attractive entry points for investors,” she added.
