Reason
Morgan Stanley raised the firm's price target on Zoom Communications to $92 from $85 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. Zoom's Q3 beat and FY26 raise show "solid execution" and a stable core, though near-term growth expectations remain low-to-mid single digits as investors wait for FY27 guidance, which the firm sees "limiting a narrative change or a re-rating," the analyst tells investors.

Jefferies believes the company's artificial intelligence product strategy is resonating. The solid report and expanded buyback authorization should support the shares, contends the firm.

Reason
Bernstein analyst Peter Weed raised the firm's price target on Zoom Communications to $90 from $89 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The firm notes Zoom's Q3 delivered the second straight quarter of mid-1% beat vs. midpoint guidance, helping to demonstrate it may be getting reliably back on a "normal" beat and raise cadence - this is in contrast to two and three quarters ago that were the only times below this level in several years. The strength was supported by the online business continuing to stabilize around lower levels of churn at about 2.7% monthly, and enterprise new customers showing incremental strength both overall and in the important over $100K spend category, Bernstein adds.
