$Zoom(ZM)$
$Zoom(ZM) Surged +6.86% to $100.27: AI Bet on Anthropic Rekindles Breakout, $102.44 Resistance in Focus
Latest Close Data: ZM closed at $100.27 (+6.86%) on 2026-08-28, just 12.6% below its 52-week high of $114.74. Volume hit 4.46M shares, confirming strong buying pressure after a sharp two-day recovery.
Core Market Drivers: Zoom rebounded strongly after disclosing its Anthropic stake is now worth $31.3B, with an additional $301M invested through July. This AI narrative offset earlier disappointment over soft Q3 EPS guidance ($1.46–$1.48 vs. $1.50 expected). BofA reiterated Buy with a $130 target, and AI feature MAU growth of +125% YoY reinforced momentum.
Technical Analysis: MACD remains positive but is rolling over — DIF at 1.69 vs DEA at 2.99, signaling near-term bearish divergence despite the price pop. RSI(6) recovered sharply from 21.4 to 44.6, exiting oversold territory and leaving room for further upside. KDJ shows a bullish crossover attempt with J at 18.97, suggesting early-stage momentum repair.
Key Price Levels:
-
Primary Support: $93.83 (yesterday's close) / $86.34 (Aug 26 swing low)
-
Strong Resistance: $102.44 (Aug 26 pivot high) — a daily close above this opens $108–$110
-
Immediate Pivot: $99.45 (after-hours level) — bulls must hold this to sustain breakout structure
Valuation Perspective: P/E (TTM) is just 9.30 vs. sector average near 25–30, while Forward P/E sits at 15.36, above its historical mean of 14.06 (+0.9 Std. Dev). P/S at 5.89 reflects AI-driven revenue optimism but remains well below peak pandemic-era multiples.
Analyst Targets: 24 analysts cover ZM with an average target of $117.56 (range $79–$135). Ratings: 8 Strong Buy, 9 Buy, 13 Hold, 1 Underperform — still constructive but not euphoric.
Weekly Outlook: Expect a range of $96–$104 for the coming week. A daily close above $102.44 could trigger short-covering toward $108, while failure to hold $99.45 risks a retest of $93.83 and then $86.34. 📈
