Foolish Take
Even after a long slide from pandemic-era highs, ZoomInfo’s improving fundamentals may matter more to fundamental research-driven investors than its recent share price volatility. RPD Fund Management’s decision to significantly increase exposure underscores renewed confidence in the company’s ability to stabilize growth and expand margins — something its latest earnings report begins to validate.
ZoomInfo posted record third-quarter revenue of $318 million, up 5% year-over-year, while GAAP operating income jumped 55% to $67.5 million, and adjusted operating margin clocked in at a strong 37%. The company also generated $93.8 million in operating cash flow, a vastly sharp improvement from a year ago. For a fund whose portfolio is now almost entirely concentrated in GTM, the enlarged stake highlights conviction that ZoomInfo’s AI-driven go-to-market platform is still competitively durable despite its deep multiyear drawdown. And the fundamentals do suggest a business regaining operating leverage even as sentiment remains washed out. If execution continues to improve, the stock’s compressed valuation may offer asymmetric upside.
