7 Stocks That Would Make Great Graduation Gifts - 6 of 7

 
 

#6 - RingCentral (NYSE:RNG)

Although many of us would prefer to never take another “Zoom meeting” anytime soon, it’s been a way of life for many college graduates for the better part of a year. But if we’re honest with ourselves the workplace was heading that way long before the pandemic.

In some form, work-from-anywhere is not going away. And that means there will be demand for services such as the kind that RingCentral (NYSE:RNG) provides. But if you believe that RingCentral is simply a pandemic stock, you’re missing the bigger story. RingCentral has a recurring revenue narrative termed Unified-Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) that will continue long after the new normal arrives.

Currently the company only has about 1.2 billion out of a market that generated $50 billion in 2020. However, with a service that they can provide for as low as $19.99/month, RingCentral has an opportunity to expand their market share.

After surging by 122% last year, RNG stock is down 30% for the year. But once investors cast a more discerning eye at tech stocks, RingCentral is likely to recover in a big way.
