“While we view the guide as increasingly de-risked, we would prefer to see revenue re-acceleration via Online stabilization and an improving Enterprise mix (via Phone/Contact Center) before becoming more constructive,” analysts said in a client note.
Morgan Stanley analysts added that Zoom delivered better-than-feared results.
“As previewed, investors had leaned too bearish into the print, so even as company reduced top line outlook, it was less than investors expected,” the analysts wrote.
