Zoom Reports Earnings Growth and Rebrands to Reflect AI Focus
The company posted a 3.6% revenue increase and announced its transition to 'Zoom Communications' to emphasize its AI-driven evolution.
- Zoom reported $1.18 billion in third-quarter revenue, a 3.6% increase from the same period last year, driven by a 5.8% growth in enterprise customer revenue.
- Net income rose to $207.1 million, up from $141.2 million a year earlier, supported by higher investment yields and favorable currency exchange rates.
- The company rebranded from 'Zoom Video Communications' to 'Zoom Communications' to reflect its expanded focus on AI and hybrid work solutions.
- New AI-driven tools include AI Companion 2.0, which enhances meeting summaries and task assistance, and Zoom Docs, which enables real-time document collaboration during meetings.
- Despite beating earnings expectations, shares fell over 4% due to concerns about slowing growth and stiff competition from rivals like Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex.
