In a strategic move, the company revealed a plan to repurchase stocks worth $1.5 billion, reflecting its success in the business market. This announcement follows the expiration of a previous authorization of $1 billion earlier this month.

Quarterly results showed a 2.6% increase in sales, reaching $1.15 billion, surpassing analyst expectations. Profit also increased by $1.42 per share, compared to the expected $1.15.

Commenting on this performance, Michael Toren, an analyst at Wells Fargo, noted that the new stock repurchase is a response to the uncertainty and may impact the company’s ability to negotiate large acquisition deals in the future.

Amid slowing Zoom sales due to increased competition, the company expanded its product line by adding phone systems, call center services, and artificial intelligence assistants, aiming to attract more corporate clients.

High revenue

Revenue from enterprise customers increased by 4.9%, totaling $667.3 million, with over 220,400 corporate clients, including 3,810 contributing over $100,000 in revenue over the past year.

Despite a decline in online sales to regular consumers and small businesses, Zoom plans to continue its strategy with stock repurchases and is actively exploring merger and acquisition opportunities to enhance future growth and meet customer needs.

Finally, Zoom expects revenues of approximately $4.6 billion for the fiscal year ending in January 2025, with improved earnings per share, reflecting confidence in the company’s long-term success.
