Gold prices set for weekly drop as strong dollar weighs; Trump tariffs in focus
NEW YORK - Zeta Global Holdings Corp. (NYSE:ZETA) reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results but saw its shares plunge 10% in after-hours trading due to disappointing first-quarter revenue guidance.
The AI Marketing Cloud company posted Q4 adjusted earnings per share of $0.06, compared to a loss of $0.22 in the same period last year. Revenue surged 50% YoY to $314.7 million, surpassing analyst estimates of $294.78 million.
Despite the strong Q4 performance, Zeta’s Q1 2025 revenue guidance of $253-255 million fell short of the $256.1 million consensus, triggering the sharp stock decline. However, the company’s full-year 2025 revenue outlook of $1.235-1.245 billion exceeded analyst expectations of $1.212 billion.
Zeta’s CEO David A. Steinberg commented, "Our early investments in AI and first-party data are resonating with customers and prospects, fueling our record fourth quarter results and contributing to our market share gains."
For the full year 2024, Zeta reported revenue of $1.006 billion, up 38% YoY. The company’s Scaled Customer count increased 17% YoY to 527, while Super-Scaled Customer count rose 13% YoY to 148.
Cash flow from operating activities reached $134 million in 2024, compared to $91 million in 2023. Zeta also repurchased $41 million worth of shares through its share repurchase program during the year.
Looking ahead, Zeta aims to achieve over $2 billion in annual revenue by 2028, as outlined in its newly announced Zeta 2028 plan.
