Zoom soars 81% in its trading debut - Business Insider

Eric Yuan ZoomZoom


Zoom Video Communications Inc.'s stock jumped 81% in its debut to the public market on Thursday.

Shares of the video conferencing-company began trading on the Nasdaq at $65 apiece. Zoom had priced its initial public offering at $36, raising $751 million. 

That would have valued the business at $9.2 billion, about ninefold its private valuation. Shares were expected to price between $33 and $35 apiece.

Setting it apart from other so-called unicorns, private companies worth more than $1 billion, Zoom is profitable. A fast pace of growth has drawn attention to the eight-year old company, which was founded by Eric Yuan, the former vice president of engineering at the video-conferencing company WebEx.

Another technology unicorn, the digital-image-board company Pinterest, also debuted on Thursday, gaining 25% in its opening minutes of trading. The ride-hailing giant Lyft was the first tech unicorn to enter public markets this year, but has struggled since its debut last month.

Zoom's shares trade under the ticker symbol ZM.
