Read MoreHide Full Article
Zoom Video Communications (ZM - Free Report) is slated to release first-quarter fiscal 2023 results on May 23.
Zoom expects first-quarter fiscal 2023 revenues in the range of $1.07 billion to $1.075 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is currently pegged at $1.07 billion, indicating growth of 12.2% from the year-ago quarter.
Non-GAAP earnings per share are expected in the range of 86 cents to 88 cents. The consensus mark for earnings has increased 1.1% to 88 cents per share over the past 30 days but moved down 33.3% year over year.
Zoom Video Communications, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Zoom’s first-quarter performance is likely to have gained from strong demand for varied products like Zoom Video Webinars, Zoom Rooms and Zoom Phones. An expanding portfolio of solutions is expected to have aided customer growth in the fiscal first quarter.
The launch of Zoom Up Partner Program and Zoom Contact Center, an omnichannel contact center solution that is optimized for video and integrated right into the same Zoom experience are expected to have been growth drivers.
The company’s freemium business model helps it win customers rapidly, whom it can later convert into paying customers. Markedly, in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2022, Zoom customers contributing more than $100,000 in revenues in the trailing 12 months grew 66%. These customers accounted for 23% of revenues, up from 18% in the year-ago quarter. The momentum is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
Additionally, the company’s strong partner base is expected to have benefited the company in winning enterprise customers like Carrier Global (CARR - Free Report) in the fiscal first quarter. Carrier Global has been increasing its spending on Zoom products by selecting Zoom phones for 53,000 employees across 180 countries.
However, the company has been facing significant competition from the likes of Cisco, Microsoft and Google Meet. This might have led to a loss in small and medium-sized business customers, which is likely to have hurt top-line growth.
