Zoom more than tripled its customers with more than 10 employees last quarter, as thousands of businesses signed up to help their workers communicate during lockdowns.

The number of customers in that category ballooned from about 82,000 at the end of October to north of 265,000 at the end of January.

Zoom has steadily grown its number of high-paying customers.

It added 128 customers that contributed more than $100,000 to its revenue for the 12 months to April 30, raising the total to 769.

If those customers all pay the minimum of $100,000 to Zoom this year, they will generate nearly $77 million in revenue for the company.

Investors are betting Zoom will be one of the few beneficiaries from the pandemic. They have tripled its stock price from about $69 at the start of January to $208 as of June 3.

The increase has boosted its market capitalization to about $59 billion, giving it roughly the same market value as Target.
