Analysis of an Emerging Technology Firm

      find a technology firm recently listed in any U.S. stock market, and analyze its values and potentials. The firm you choose must have its initial public offering (IPO) in any U.S. stock market such as NYSE and NASDAQ after January 1, 2020. This is NOT a group project. Please complete this project by yourself. Plagiarism leads to an immediate zero! (a) The name, symbol ticker, and IPO date of the firm. Was it directly listed or listed via SPAC? The firm you choose can be in any technology fields such as information technology, biomedical technology, aerospace technology, etc. (b) Explain the technology the firm offers and what this technology can do for clients. (c) The strengths and weaknesses of the technology. (d) Do you think the firm’s stock is currently overvalued, undervalued, or fair valued? Why? (e) Do you think the firm’s revenues and profits will increase or decrease in 5 years? Why? (f) Who is the current CEO of this firm? Use about 50 words to describe the CEO’s backgrounds. (g) If you were the CEO of this firm, what would you do to improve its revenues and profitability? (h) Excluding figures, data tables, and references, this project report requires a minimum of 5-page analyses. You should use double-space, size 12 Times New Roman fonts in this report. You can cite other industrial report and academic research to support your analysis. If your report doesn’t meet the minimum page requirement, you will lose 10 points for the analysis shortage.
c) One of the strengths of this technology is that it performs constantly in the background so clients don’t have to worry about constantly updating or verifying information manually. It also allows customers to track their success rate across campaigns and analyze insights such as average response times or ROI based on their own criteria which helps them further develop their strategies more efficiently. On the other hand, one potential weakness could be the cost associated with using this service which could be prohibitively expensive for smaller businesses who may not have access to substantial budgets necessary for leveraging these types of technologies d) I believe that ZoomInfo is fairly valued at this point given its current share price given recent stock market performance and outlooks from analysts covering its sector e) In my opinion revenues and profits should increase over the next 5 years due in part because ZoomInfo has been able to grow rapidly since its IPO due primarily to strong demand for marketing automation solutions f) The current CEO of ZoomInfo Technologies is Henry Schuck who has an extensive background in software engineering and business management having held executive positions at several companies including DiscoverOrg prior his role at ZoomInfo g) If I were CEO, I would focus on expanding into new markets where there may be higher demand for these services while also increasing awareness among potential users by utilizing attractive pricing models such as subscription packages or special discounts h )In addition, I would work towards forging partnerships with larger enterprises that already provide other digital solutions thus allowing us reach broader audiences thereby creating additional revenue sources
