On Nov 27, major Wall Street analysts update their ratings for $Zoom Communications (ZM.US)$, with price targets ranging from $70 to $115.

Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Zoom Communications (ZM.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:

  • Investors are more confident that Zoom Communications has found stabilization within its core business, although there remains a desire for a stronger revenue or operational margin improvement in Q3.

  • Zoom Communications has indicated an emphasis on speeding up growth, yet it remains uncertain if the Q3 results will instill confidence in a significant acceleration for fiscal year 2026. The projection of a 3% revenue growth for Q4, and the mention of this figure as an initial 'placeholder' for FY26 growth projections, may not support arguments for a substantial growth pivot, despite a cautious stance from the company.

  • Zoom Communications' recent Q3 report was noted for its predictability, continuing to focus on expanding the platform to boost customer value and engagement, which remains a critical strategic priority. This strategy aims to facilitate re-accelerated growth, supported by stability in the Online segment and enhanced Enterprise upsell opportunities.

  • After Q3 results surpassed expectations, Zoom Video's forward outlook included Q4 revenue expectations slightly above consensus. Initial guidance for FY26 showing a 2.7% revenue growth falls below broader market expectations of 3.2%. This conservative projection could potentially set a baseline for the performance expected of the new CFO.

  • Zoom Communications reported strong Q3 results, continuing to deliver "best-in-class" profitability and cash flow as the management drives towards revenue reacceleration. It is expected that the company will return to mid-single-digit growth due to stabilization in the core platform and growth impetus from emerging products.
