Zooming Past Estimates

Zooming Past Estimates

Share this article


  • Zoom's shares surged up to 13% in after-hours trading following the company's announcement of fiscal fourth-quarter results that exceeded analysts' forecasts. The figures surpassed expectations across key metrics, including adjusted earnings per share and revenue. Despite experiencing significant growth during the pandemic, with revenue soaring over 100% for five consecutive quarters, Zoom is now navigating a period of slower, single-digit growth. The company attributes this deceleration partly to a sales reorganization that impacted its performance in the fiscal fourth quarter.
  • Looking ahead, Zoom anticipates adjusted earnings per share of $1.18 to $1.20 on revenue ranging from $1.125 billion for the fiscal first quarter, indicating modest growth compared to the previous year. Similarly, the company's outlook for the 2025 fiscal year projects adjusted earnings per share and revenue figures, reflecting incremental growth prospects.

Why it matters

Before the recent uptick, Zoom's shares had faced a 12% decline year-to-date, contrasting with the S&P 500 stock index's 6% gain over the same period.
