Zoom falls 6% despite Q2 beat as Q3 profit guidance of $1.47 misses $1.50 estimate

Zoom fell 6% despite beating Q2 expectations, after guiding Q3 profit to $1.47 per share, below the $1.50 Street estimate. The video collaboration company reported Q2 revenue of $1.28 billion, up 4.9% year-on-year, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.55, topping the $1.48 consensus. The drop appears company-specific rather than sector-wide. HubSpot slipped 1% and Monday.com fell 2%, whilst the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF rose 0.1%. Enterprise revenue surged 7.8% to $787.5 million, its strongest growth in three years, accounting for 62% of total revenue. Online revenue grew just 0.6% to $489.7 million. Zoom raised its full-year revenue guidance to $5.085 billion to $5.095 billion.
