15 Analysts Have This To Say About Zoom Communications

Zoom Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NASDAQ">ZM</a>) and ServiceNow (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>), the AI platform for business transformation, today announced plans to integrate Zoom CX with ServiceNow CRM and IT Service Management (ITSM). The integration, announced as part of Knowledge 2025, ServiceNow's annual customer and partner event, will deliver a turnkey, AI-first solution for customer service and IT support in the contact center.

Zoom Communications Plans To Integrate Zoom CX With ServiceNow CRM And IT Service Management

Rosenblatt analyst Catharine Trebnick maintained a Buy rating on Zoom Communications (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NASDAQ">ZM</a>) on Thursday,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZM/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> lowering the price forecast from $95 to $90.</a>
Trebnick cautioned about growing macroeconomic uncertainty and potential tariff-related challenges that may hinder the company&#8217;s ability to expand revenue streams beyond the U.S. market.
The new forecast reflects a valuation of approximately 4.2 times the projected 2027 revenue, down from the previous multiple of 4.5 times.
While Zoom is trading at 3.0 times its enterprise value to estimated 2027 sales—a level consistent with the broader SaaS group average—it is growing revenue at 3% year over year, compared to the group&#8217;s 6%.

However, the analyst notes that this valuation is still reasonable given Zoom&#8217;s strong financial footing, including a substantial $7.8 billion cash reserve and a free cash flow margin of 37%, which significantly exceeds the industry average of 26%.
Trebnick trimmed the revenue growth expectations for Zoom, now forecasting a 2.2% increase for FY26—below the company&#8217;s FY25 guidance of 2.7% at the midpoint.
For FY25, the analyst estimates revenue at $4.768 billion, reflecting 2.6% growth and slightly below both their previous estimate and the Street consensus of $4.788 billion.
FY27 revenue is also adjusted downward to $4.935 billion, implying 3.5% growth and again falling short of the consensus estimate of $4.949 billion.
As a result of these lower projections, adjusted operating income for FY25 is revised to $1.854 billion with a margin of 38.9%, just under the Street&#8217;s forecast, Trebnick writes.
Due to reduced sales volume expectations, the analyst now projects FY26 pro forma EPS at $5.34, unchanged from their previous estimate.
Looking further ahead, with anticipated revenue growth of just 3.5% in FY27, the EPS forecast has been modestly lowered to $5.48 from $5.50, the analyst writes.
Price Action: ZM shares are trading higher by 3.16% to $75.28 at last check on Thursday.

Shares of stocks in the broader tech sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness amid President Trump's criticism of Fed Chair Powell.

Zoom Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NASDAQ">ZM</a>) shares are trading higher Thursday following a significant global outage that temporarily disabled key parts of Zoom's platform, including video calls,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZM/news"> its web portal and app.</a>
What To Know: The outage, which occurred on Wednesday afternoon, was confirmed by the company and tracked in real time by Downdetector.com, according to Reuters. At its peak, over 67,000 users reported problems accessing Zoom&#8217;s services, with disruptions affecting both U.S. and international users. The company did not offer a detailed technical explanation but confirmed on social media that full service had been restored.
The brief disruption likely reminded investors of the platform's broad user base and the technical risks that come with operating such a widely used service. But, the lack of a sharp sell-off suggests the market viewed the outage as temporary and not materially damaging to Zoom&#8217;s longer-term operations or reputation. Still, a repeat of such widespread failures could draw more scrutiny given how reliant businesses, schools and government agencies have become on Zoom for communication.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Will Zoom Shares Go Up?</h1>
When trying to assess whether or not Zoom will trade higher from current levels, it's a good idea to take a look at analyst forecasts.
Wall Street analysts have an average 12 month price target of $85.25 on Zoom. The &#8220;Street high&#8221; target is currently at $97 and the &#8220;Street low&#8221; target is $7.

Stocks don't move in a straight line. The average stock market return is approximately 10% per year. Zoom is down 12.37% year-to-date. The average analyst price target suggests the stock could have further upside ahead.

Zoom Communications's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NYSE">ZM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 14.29% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.29 million shares sold short, which is 2.4% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.0 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Zoom Communications Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744736424_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Zoom Communications has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Zoom Communications's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Zoom Communications's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.20%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
