Zoom Video Communications has reported strong fiscal third-quarter results that exceeded analysts' expectations, despite slower revenue growth.
The company's earnings per share of $1.38 and revenue of $1.18 billion surpassed anticipated figures. Although the year-over-year revenue growth was approximately 4%, which is lower than during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Zoom's net income and enterprise customer base increased.
Looking ahead, Zoom has provided guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter, projecting adjusted earnings per share between $1.29 and $1.30, with revenue expected to fall between $1.175 billion and $1.180 billion. For the fiscal year 2025, Zoom has raised its earnings forecast to between $5.41 and $5.43 per share, with revenue expectations set between $4.656 billion and $4.661 billion.
Despite a slight decline in stock performance following the earnings report, Zoom's stock has seen a year-to-date increase of approximately 24%.
The company has also announced a corporate rebranding, changing its name to Zoom Communications Inc., to reflect its evolution into an AI-first work platform. Zoom's focus on AI-driven solutions and expanded service offerings positions it well for future growth as it navigates the challenges of a post-pandemic market.
