Is ZM Stock Worth A Buy?

Zoom (ZM) stock has been stuck in a narrow consolidation zone ranging between $64.40 and $74 since the start of July 2023. The bullish move was halted as the stock price reached near $74. ZM stock price retraced and formed support at $64.40.

On 18 August 2023, the video communication company released the second quarter financial result which re-ignited the bullish momentum in the price. The stock price has surged roughly 14% since the release of the positive quarterly report.
