Zoom Video Communications delivered a standout performance in its most recent quarter, signaling both resilience and renewed growth as it continues to evolve beyond its pandemic-era identity. With its latest results, Zoom has demonstrated improved financial strength, shareholder returns, and a focused strategy on enterprise clients and AI-driven innovation—all while positioning itself for sustained relevance in the post-pandemic world.

For the second quarter of its fiscal year 2026 ending July 31, 2025, Zoom reported total revenue of $1.22 billion, reflecting a robust year-over-year increase of 4.7%. This marks the company’s highest annual growth rate in 11 quarters. Enterprise revenue was especially strong at $730.7 million, an increase of 7% from the same period last year. This enterprise momentum showcases success in Zoom’s strategic pivot from reliance on individual consumers to targeting large organizations and business clients.

Profitability was another highlight for Zoom this quarter. The company delivered a GAAP net income of $358.6 million. Its GAAP operating margin expanded to 26.4%, a notable improvement from the prior year, and its non-GAAP operating margin came in at 41.3%. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) on a GAAP basis reached $1.16, up a striking 65.7% from the previous year, while non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.53, up 10%. These results reflect operational efficiency and successful execution in a competitive market with rising technology costs.

Cash on hand remains a cornerstone of Zoom’s stability. As of the end of July, the company held $7.8 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Free cash flow reached new heights and management has increased its outlook for full-year revenue, non-GAAP operating income, and free cash flow to the range of $1.74 billion to $1.78 billion. This cash position not only secures operational flexibility but also underpins ongoing investments in product development and shareholder returns.

One sign of Zoom’s commitment to delivering value to investors is its share repurchase activity. The company repurchased around 6 million shares in the quarter, bringing the total under its current buyback plan to 27.4 million. With $724.7 million remaining in authorized share repurchases, Zoom continues to demonstrate a focus on enhancing shareholder value.

Zoom’s strategy hinges largely on the growing enterprise customer base. The number of customers contributing at least $100,000 in trailing 12-month revenue grew 8.7% year-over-year. This trend indicates not just customer retention, but upselling success and organizational buy-in for Zoom’s expanding SaaS suite. With organizations embracing hybrid and remote work, Zoom’s continued innovation—particularly in artificial intelligence-driven productivity and communications tools—positions it at the cutting edge of workplace technology.

Leadership emphasized AI as a core driver of future growth, stating that advancements in artificial intelligence are transforming collaboration and efficiency. Zoom’s AI-powered features are designed to help customers and employees get more done, reduce operational costs, and deliver improved user experiences.

The company’s overall outlook remains optimistic. Legal and regulatory matters, including ongoing investigations and litigation, are being actively managed, with recent developments such as the reversal of an $18 million SEC-related accrual after the SEC declined enforcement action. Additionally, the company benefited from an approximate $400 million unrealized gain on a strategic private equity investment after quarter-end, reflecting new avenues of value creation beyond core operations.

Zoom’s steadied transition from pandemic necessity to post-pandemic innovation leader signals its long-term viability. With surging EPS, solid revenue growth, a strong balance sheet, and targeted enterprise focus, Zoom is not just surviving but adapting and leading in a transforming digital landscape. Investors and industry observers will be watching closely as Zoom continues to execute on its AI-driven vision and capitalizes on the changing ways in which people connect and collaborate.
