Consumer Sentiment Drops 10%, UnitedHealth Under Investigation: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Zoom Communications, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NASDAQ">ZM</a>) will report fourth-quarter and fiscal 2025 results on February 24, after the market close.
Oppenheimer analyst Timothy Horan maintained a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Perform rating on</a> Zoom.
Horan expects solid fourth-quarter 2025 results as Zoom builds momentum through its new AI platform strategy, which is enabling some price increases.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43851464/unity-software-q4-earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Unity Software Q4 Earnings: EPS And Sales Beat, Weak Guidance, Game Development Revenue Declines</a>
The focus will likely be on 2026 guidance and the impact of new go-to-market movements and pricing on top-line growth.
Investors will also examine margins, which could be under pressure as it invests in AI and increases the adoption and usage of its AI Companion.
The analyst also hopes to gain more insight into CCaaS seat growth and cross-sell trends, though it is still in the early days.
He noted Zoom could beat Street&#8217;s expectation of 3% growth next year, but it could be above 4%.
Positively, the company cited strong AI uptake and is seeing solid momentum in Contact Center, Workvivo, and UCaaS. Overall, Horan liked Zoom&#8217;s product and its AI, while bundling puts it on par with Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Teams&#8217; pricing.
Separately, Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) announced it is shutting down support for Chime, its UCaaS service, and will no longer take new customers. Chime will be completely shut down in February 2026.
Zoom has historically maintained stable prices but increased monthly rates by 5-10% for SMB plans in the mid-fourth quarter. Though this will likely take 2-3 years to flow through fully, it could add 2% to annual revenue growth.
However, larger enterprises (~59% of revenue) resist paying more for services they do not necessarily want and typically receive a discount off listed prices.
Although a return to meaningful enterprise subscriber growth is unlikely, the company has significantly reduced churn in the past year and stabilized enterprise customers.
Positively, channel checks indicate that a large cohort of customers that signed deals in 2021/22 are coming due for renewal, so the analyst expects a solid first-quarter and fiscal 2025 guide in combination with the price increases.
Horan&#8217;s 2026 and 2027 revenue estimates are 50 and 110bps above the Street, respectively. The analyst expects Zoom to guide revenue above the Street, given the improving churn/quality and go-to-market.
His operating margin estimates could be too conservative, as he expects the company to reinvest for growth/ AI to achieve 5% revenue growth.
Horan projected fourth-quarter revenue of $1.2 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.29. He expects fiscal 2025 revenue of $4.7 billion and adjusted EPS of $5.42.
Price Action: ZM stock is down 2.05% at $83.42 at last check Thursday.

Shares of technology companies are trading higher amid a rebound in the broader space, which sold off on Monday amid AI competition concerns from China.

Zoom Communications's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NYSE">ZM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.2% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.11 million shares sold short, which is 3.1% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.27 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Zoom Communications Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737393318_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Zoom Communications has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Zoom Communications's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Zoom Communications's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.27%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Telehealth companies including Hims &amp; Hers, Sesame and Noom have flocked to Facebook and Instagram to promote their booming weight loss drugs.
But pressure from regulators concerned about consumers' health data privacy has prompted Meta Platforms to limit how advertisers target users with health-related ads, starting this month. That is upending weight loss campaigns in the middle of the New Year's resolution marketing season. And more broadly, marketers are scrambling to figure out exactly what kind of weight loss and other health-related products are affected, and trying out workarounds for the new rules.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Zoom Communications has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Zoom Communications's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Zoom Communications's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.02%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.
