The company’s earnings surprise history has been impressive. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 12.6% on average.
Zeta Global Holdings Corp. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $470.48 million, indicating a 39.5% increase from the third-quarter 2025 actuals.
Growth in the top line is likely to have been boosted by increasing adoption of Zeta's AI-powered tools such as the Athena platform, which supports customer retention, platform utilization and long-term revenue expansion.
Zeta’s partnerships with OpenAI, Palantir and Snowflake are expanding its enterprise reach and product capabilities. OpenAI enhances Athena's conversational interface, while Palantir's Foundry infrastructure enables faster data integration and more efficient enterprise decision-making. These relationships are likely to have created additional opportunities for customer acquisition, cross-selling and larger enterprise contracts.
Zeta's One Zeta initiative and Marigold integration are likely to have aided customer expansion across marketing channels and use cases. This provides a foundation for sustained revenue growth through deeper enterprise relationships.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at 28 cents per share, indicating year-over-year growth of 27.3%. We expect revenue growth, continued operating leverage and cash generation to have benefited the bottom line in the third quarter.

You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
