Let $\text{Z}$ be the unital simple nuclear infinite dimensional ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra which has the same Elliott invariant as $\mathbb{C}$, introduced in [9]. A ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra is called $\text{Z}$-stable if $A\,\cong \,A\,\otimes \,\text{Z}$. In this note we give some necessary conditions for a unital simple ${{C}^{*}}$-algebra to be $\text{Z}$-stable.
