Zoom Communications (NASDAQ:ZM) exceeded Q4 fiscal year 2025 expectations with $1.41 EPS on $1.18 billion revenue. Enterprise revenue grew 5.9% to $707 million, but online sales fell 0.4% to $477 million. The company saw a 13% decline in enterprise customers to 192,600, raising concerns about future demand.
Despite improved operating margins and revenue growth, Zoom forecasts $1.16 billion in sales and $1.30 EPS for the next quarter, slightly below market predictions. ZM stock dropped 8% post-earnings, underperforming the market for the last four years. In contrast, Trefis’ High Quality Portfolio has outperformed the S&P 500 consistently.
