Zoom Communications $ZM ( ▼ 2.21% ) jumped 3.63% in after-hours trading on Monday after reporting strong financial earnings results.

Financials: Zoom reported earnings of $1.52 per share in the past quarter and revenue of $1.2 billion. Both were better than expected.

Details: Revenue jumped 4.4% in the past quarter, and the company now expects revenue to continue to climb in the current quarter.

Powering the Story: On Monday, Zoom also announced an additional $1 billion stock buyback to boost the stock price.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Future stock performance will still hinge more on whether Zoom can re‑accelerate growth in its enterprise and AI‑adjacent products than on the buyback itself.

Final Thoughts: With the stock down about 3% this year, investors might see these results as a potential comeback.
