Zoom Video Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) has been trying to work through normalization after its monstrous pandemic surge in 2021. In the following post-COVID years, Zoom Video has been struggling to stabilize its business and stock price, attempting to find a baseline so it can resume its growth.

Critics have argued that Zoom was a fad during the pandemic, and its utility will be minimized as people return to work. Its fiscal Q4 2025 earnings report illustrates that normalization may finally be complete, and growth is kickstarting again. Most importantly, it continues to prove that Zoom Video is not a fad but a stalwart component in the new era of hybrid and remote work. It competes with computer and technology sector giants like Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE), Salesforce Inc. (NYSE: CRM) and Microsoft Co. (NASDAQ: MSFT) for enterprise dollars.

Driving Enterprise Customer Growth

While Zoom Video has seen social engagements fall due to the lifting of social distancing mandates, the company has been able to grow its enterprise customers. The communications platform has evolved with functionality catering to businesses with hundreds of added features. Zoom has integrated artificial intelligence (AI) features like AI-powered meeting transcription and summaries, as well as speaker identification and non-verbal cue detection. Major customers include Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO), Diageo plc (NYSE: DEO) and Convera. Enterprise revenues rose 5% YoY in its recent earnings report. Check out the sector heatmap on MarketBeat.
