Zoom Communications, Inc.

Zoom's AI Companion paid users grew 184% year-over-year, with Contact Center expanding at high double-digit rates. CFRA analysts expect AI monetization products to drive continued growth momentum, and the company raised its full-year forecasts following a strong Q1 earnings beat.

Despite AI-driven optimism, Wall Street maintains a cautious 'Hold' consensus, with 19 analysts rating the stock neutrally. Revenue growth is forecast at only 3.3% per annum over three years, and earnings are expected to decline 9.4% per annum, raising questions about AI's ability to meaningfully move the needle.

Zoom raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $5.96–$6.00 and revenue to $5.08–$5.09 billion after beating Q1 estimates. Consensus earnings estimates for the current and next fiscal years show modest but positive year-over-year growth of +2.4% and +2.7%, respectively.

Zoom's Q2 guidance came in below analyst expectations on both revenue and EPS. Current quarter EPS is expected to decline 2.6% year-over-year, and the stock has underperformed significantly, falling 13.6% over the past month versus the S&P 500's -1.3% during the same period.

Zoom shares trade above their 8-day, 20-day, and 200-day simple and exponential moving averages, generating multiple buy signals. The stock is up 12% year-to-date and has shown a meaningful recovery, with shares rising over 4% in the past month, reflecting renewed investor confidence.

Technical analysis assigns ZM a score of 33 — 34% below its historic median — flagging higher-than-normal risk. The MACD indicator is negative at -0.71, and the stock is rated a 'Sell' overall. The RSI also suggests the stock is overbought relative to recent momentum, limiting further upside.
