(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/aonyeani76/cryptocurrencypanther/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131Looking forward to the new fiscal year, Zoom expects growth to continue to slow down following Q4 performance.
Software company Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM) outperformed expectations in its fiscal Q4 results, pushing its shares higher. The company’s stock trades up 7.43% to $79.20 in after-hours trading after closing down 0.28%. Since the year began two months ago, Zoom stock has grown 8.83% and increased by another 2.98% in the last three months. While the shares are down more than 44% in the last 12-month period, the video communication service provider went up 0.30% over the past month. In the last five days, ZM has lost 3.14%.
According to the fiscal Q4 report, Zoom crushed expectations in both earnings and revenue. The quarterly adjusted earnings were $1.22 per share, more than the predicted 81 cents. According to Refinitiv, analysts’ prediction of revenue for the three months was $1.10 billion. However, Zoom generated $1.12 billion in revenue during the fiscal Q4, which is a 4% jump compared to the same period in the previous year. It additionally reported $4.4 million for the full year fiscal year 2023, up 7% YoY.
Although the revenue increased, it is lower than the usual surge the company recorded in 2020 and 2021. Zoom became a household name during the coronavirus pandemic when the world had to stay indoors. As companies could not have onsite meetings, many resorted to using the video communication service, which sent its revenue to the top. CEO Eric S. Yuan said in a comment on the earnings results:
“Zoom One adoption continued to accelerate and helped drive Zoom Phone to grow more than 100% year over year, surpassing 5.5 million seats in Q4. Our emerging technologies such as oom Contact Center picked up pace as customer experience teams recognized the value of a modern, integrated collaboration solution.”
For the first time since 2018, Zoom recorded a net loss in the fiscal Q4. It lost $104 million while it saw a net income of around $491 million in the year-ago period. The company said the loss is “attributable to common stockholders.”
Looking forward to the new fiscal year, Zoom expects growth to continue to slow down following Q4 performance. The company predicted a 1.1% growth, representing between $4.435 billion to $4.455 billion in revenue. Meanwhile, analysts were expecting sales of $4.6 billion. On adjusted earnings per share, Zoom’s expectation is within the range of $4.11 and $4.18. And for the fiscal Q1, the software company is predicting adjusted earnings per share to come in between 96 cents and 98 cents. Revenue expectation is between $1.080 billion to $1.085 billion.
Like many other companies exploring means of cutting costs, Zoom announced it would dismiss some workers. The company said earlier in February that it is laying off 1,300 employees amid “uncertainty of the global economy.”

DoorDash recorded a loss per share of $1.65, which is higher than the earlier prediction of 68 cents
Online food ordering company DoorDash (NYSE: DASH) popped in after-hours trading after the company squashed expectations in sales during Q4 2022. Following the better-than-expected results that triggered a 6% jump in the company’s shares, DoorDash is building on its Q4 2022 performance to give optimistic guidance for the current three-month period.
According to the Q4 2022 financial results by DoorDash, revenue surpassed analysts’ expectations of $1.77 billion at $1.82 billion. In addition to rising above forecast, the quarterly revenue also did better than the $1.3 billion recorded during the same period of the previous year. The report also revealed that DoorDash delivered more orders in 2022 Q4. The total number of orders surged 27% to 467 million. Meanwhile, analysts projected the total orders to be around 458 million.
However, the company recorded a loss per share of $1.65, which is higher than the earlier prediction of 68 cents. DoorDash attributed the Q4 2022 loss to changes in its purchase of Wolt, a Finnish food delivery company. Also, the November layoff cost the company some money, contributing to the loss. The American online food ordering company dismissed 1,250 corporate workers in November 2022 as part of its effort to cut costs. DoorDash hired more people during the pandemic to meet up with growth and increased demand. However, CEO Tony Xu said the staff cut was necessary to address the growing operating expenses.
To support impacted staff, DoorDash promised severance packages that resulted in losses in Q4 2022. While announcing the job cut, the CEO said affected workers would receive compensation for 17 weeks in addition to their February 2023 stock vest. He also spoke about healthcare benefits till 31st March to support the employees. Eventually, DoorDash recorded losses related to the stock-based compensation expenses.
For the current quarter, DoorDash is calling for its marketplace gross order volume to reach between $15.1 billion and $ 15.5 billion. On the other hand, analysts’ prediction was $15 billion in marketplace gross order volume. DoorDash is also making changes to its leadership team, naming Prabir Adarkar as President and Chief Operating Officer. At the same time, Ravi Inukonda will become the company’s Chief Financial Officer beginning on 1st March 2023.
At premarket trading, DoorDash stock is up 6.14% to $71. After losing over 36% over the past year, the company has been rebounding and gathering significant gains. DASH has grown more than 37% since January and has improved by almost 14% in the last three months. Also, the company has popped 22.40% over the past month and 8.15% in the last five days.

Co-founder Reed Hastings is stepping down as the CEO.
Production company Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) saw a massive addition to its subscribers in Q4, exceeding Wall Street’s expectations. According to the fourth quarter financial results, the company gained 7.66 million paid subscribers, over the predicted 4.57 million. The significant additional Netflix subscribers in Q4 increased the company’s shares by 6%. At the time of writing, the company’s stock is up 7.12% in after-hours trading to $338.27. NFLX has popped more than 7% since the year started and gained 9.05% in the last three months. Over the past month, the company has increased by 7.06%.
Although Netflix surpassed analysts’ expectations in its quarterly subscribers, the company missed its earnings. Its earnings per share (EPS) came in at 12 cents, nearly X4 less than the 45 cents prediction. This is the first time Netflix’s latest tier is added to its earnings result, the ad-supported service. Tagged “Basic with Ads,” the new service rolled out in the US last year at $6.99 per month. Unlike all Netflix tiers, Basic with Ads subscribers are exposed to 15 to 30 seconds long commercials before and during their Netflix content.
Notably, Netflix did not specify the number of Basic with Ads users contributing to the new subscribers’ growth. However, the company explained that it saw significant engagement from both new and regular service users. There was no notable record of users dialing down from the premium service to the ads-included tier. Chief financial officer Spencer Neumann stated:
“We wouldn’t be getting into this business if it couldn’t be a meaningful portion of our business. We’re over $30 billion in revenue, almost $32 billion revenue, in 2022 and we wouldn’t get into a business like this if we didn’t believe it could be bigger than at least 10% of our revenue.”
At the same time, co-founder Reed Hastings is stepping down as the CEO for co-CEO Ted Sarandos and COO Greg Peters to take over. As Hastings exits his role, he will now become the company’s executive chairman. He acknowledged that the new co-CEOs have been able to help Netflix through challenging times within the business.
The company added in a statement:
“2022 was a tough year, with a bumpy start but a brighter finish. We believe we have a clear path to reaccelerate our revenue growth: continuing to improve all aspects of Netflix, launching paid sharing and building our ads offering. As always, our north stars remain pleasing our members and building even greater profitability over time.”

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Overthrows Solana (SOL), Then Adds Another ZeroThe popular dog-themed memecurrency (SHIB) managed to flip the troubled (SOL) in the crypto charts by total market capitalization. Despite dropping below the $6bn mark in its market cap, SHIB went up by two spots to occupy #13, surpassing Dai (DAI), Lido Staked Ether (stETH) and SOL along the way.

It’s no secret that SHIB got seriously roughed up by the wild bears of the ongoing crypto winter. As the bears continue to trample on most of the TOP 100 altcoins, only the strongest survive. According to the charts, SHIB’s lowest point was on 10th November 2022 at 00:40 AM, when the Japanese guard dog-themed crypto went down to $0.00000850.
Since that moment, SHIB’s rebound efforts have erased the 24-hour deficit. However, the SHIB Army’s beloved meme coin couldn’t reclaim its crucial support line at $0.00001. Adding another zero to its market price may not be a good sign, though many members of its army remain optimistic.
Among all the chaos, where big projects fall like they are made of straws, the #Shib Financial Ecosystem keeps being developed, and will show that Shib is serious. Even if $Shib came to fame due to hype, technology and #community is what will put it on the apex of #crypto.

Both altcoins had to face the music of the windy crypto winter with significantly shrunk marked caps. At press time, SHIB is priced at $0.00000984, according to CoinGecko. Marking a 16.5% weekly deficit, the memecurrency is just 1% below where it was 24 hours ago.
On the other hand, SOL is getting beat down in the middle of FTX’s fiasco, as the altcoin is currently changing hands at $15.16. Having decreased by 20.2% in the last 24 hours, the remorseless bears are handling the #14 ranked cryptocurrency roughly, with a 50.8% loss in the last seven days.
The Shiba Inu memecoin project started out as ‘The Killer.’ Hence, it took a similar path to SOL, as the latter altcoin was dubbed ‘The Ethereum Killer.’
