“AI is transforming the way we work together, and Zoom is at the forefront, driving innovation that helps people get more done, reduce costs, and deliver better experiences.” – CEO Eric Yuan
Yuan is leaning on AI adoption to reframe Zoom as a growth story, but with revenue still growing mid-single digits, the Street isn’t fully buying the acceleration yet.

Quick Take: Zoom delivered its strongest YoY revenue growth in 11 quarters (+4.7%), with operating margins expanding to 41.3%. It also raised full-year revenue, EPS, and FCF guidance. Despite the clean print, the muted stock reaction shows investors want more proof that AI and Contact Center can bend the growth curve meaningfully
Zoom will close the day up 1.10% as earnings numbers drop in about 20 minutes. Stay tuned as we post live updates right here.
ZM has beaten EPS in 4 straight quarters, but price reaction has been three negative, one strong positive—the market wants clearer acceleration in revenue/billings and proof that AI/CCaaS can lift growth.

Live coverage has ended. The full story is below.
Zoom (NASDAQ: ZOOM | ZM Price Prediction) reports after the close. We’re late‑cycle in a stabilization phase with AI‑led features and CCaaS expanding wallet share while enterprise deal cycles remain elongated.
These imply ~3% YoY revenue growth and essentially flat EPS vs. FY25.
AI Companion Adoption and Monetization
Users up 40% QoQ; now monetized via custom SKUs with enterprise-grade features.
Investors will look for signs of revenue contribution beyond the free-tier adoption.
Zoom Contact Center & Virtual Agent
Customer count up 65% YoY in Q1; largest upsell deal landed.
Management emphasized “better together” messaging — bundling comms and CCaaS as a differentiator.
Zoom Phone Growth & Teams Integration
Mid-teens revenue growth; strengthened by Microsoft Teams integration and channel sales expansion.
Seen as a key market share opportunity given 150M+ phone seats still on-prem.
Workvivo & Employee Experience
Customer count +106% YoY, with 90% new to Zoom.
Acts as a new entry funnel into broader platform adoption.
Enterprise Macro Headwinds
CFO flagged elongated deal cycles at large U.S. customers.
Outlook remains cautious, with deferred revenue up 5% YoY but guidance assuming continued pressure.
