Zoom surpasses expectations as it calls for another quarter of single-digit growth

Zoom shares were down 1% in extended trading on Monday after the video calling software maker announced strong fiscal third-quarter results and gave guidance in line with expectations.

Here’s how the company did in comparison with LSEG consensus:

• Earnings per share: $1.38 adjusted vs. $1.31 expected
• Revenue: $1.18 billion vs. $1.16 billion expected

Zoom’s revenue grew about 4% year over year in the quarter, which ended on Oct. 31, according to a statement. Zoom has increased revenue in the single digits for two and a half years, a sharp departure from 2020 and 2021, when Covid led the business to triple in size.

Net income, at $207.1 million, or 66 cents per share, was up from $141.2 million, or 45 cents per share, in the same quarter a year earlier.

The company reported 192,400 enterprise customers in the quarter, up 800 from the previous quarter.

With respect to guidance, Zoom called for $1.29 to $1.30 in fiscal fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share on $1.175 billion to $1.180 billion in revenue. Analysts surveyed by LSEG were expecting $1.29 per share and $1.17 billion in revenue.

Zoom bumped up its view for the 2025 fiscal year. It expects $5.41 to $5.43 in adjusted earnings per share, with $4.656 billion to $4.661 billion in revenue. The middle of the revenue range implies about 3% growth.

LSEG’s consensus was $5.35 per share on revenue of $4.64 billion. In August, Zoom said it was looking for $5.29 to $5.32 per share and revenue between $4.630 billion and $4.640 billion.

During the quarter, Zoom said in the first half of 2025 it will release a premium Custom AI Companion that could connect to corporate glossaries and services such as ServiceNow and Workday. Zoom also started offering single-use webinar options, with room for up to 1 million attendees.

As of Monday’s close, Zoom stock was up about 24% this year, while the S&P 500 index had gained 25%.

The company also said its corporate name is changing from Zoom Video Communications to Zoom Communications Inc.

“This change reflects our evolution into an AI-first work platform for human connection and our vision for long-term growth,” Zoom’s founder and CEO, Eric Yuan, said on a conference call with analysts.
