What this transaction means for investors

Calydon Capital likes to hold for the long term, so its all-but-liquidation of ZoomInfo at a discount is pretty noteworthy. ZoomInfo’s sales growth has all but flatlined over the last couple of years, and the stock is down 92% since 2021 amid this slowdown. While Calydon had held the stock since 2021, it appears to be all but done with ZoomInfo as the company battles fierce competition to write a new growth story in an AI-powered world.

That said -- and despite the headwinds facing the company -- ZoomInfo remains a leader in its go-to-market niche according to Gartner. Furthermore, the company’s “large customer” count, those with over $100,000 in annual contract value, grew by 54% year over year and by 34% sequentially in the last quarter. This doesn’t scream “dying company” as its stock price implies. In addition to this growth from its largest customers, ZoomInfo’s free cash flow (FCF) creation remains undeniably strong, generating $455 million this year and guiding for a similar amount next year.

That said, there’s no clear, immediate growth story that could boost sales, so the market has assigned an EV/FCF ratio of just 12 on the stock -- even after accounting for stock-based compensation. I owned the stock roughly two years ago, but sold it as the growth slowdown began, and there were no signs of a turnaround in sight. I’d rather avoid the stock personally, but I can see how it might be appealing to value investors. I’d rather take Calydon’s approach and deploy my money elsewhere in higher-growth stocks.
