Zeta Global shares up as AI marketing firm boosts revenue guidance

Investing.com -- Zeta Global Holdings Corp. (NYSE:ZETA) reported second quarter revenue that exceeded analyst expectations, while raising its full-year outlook, sending shares up 6% as investors cheered the company’s strong growth trajectory.

The AI Marketing Cloud company posted revenue of $308 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $296.62 million. However, the company reported earnings per share of $0.00, falling short of the $0.13 expected by analysts. Despite the earnings miss, investors focused on the company’s robust revenue growth and raised guidance.

Zeta significantly increased its outlook for the remainder of 2025, raising third-quarter revenue guidance to $327-329 million, above the consensus estimate of $323.4 million. For the full year, the company now expects revenue between $1.258-1.268 billion, exceeding analyst projections of $1.241 billion.

"We delivered another quarter of industry-leading growth, fueled by demand for our AI-powered marketing platform," said David A. Steinberg, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Zeta. "As we head into the back half of 2025, our AI-driven momentum gives us conviction that Zeta is poised to capture even more market share."

The company also announced a new $200 million stock repurchase program authorized by its board of directors, which will run through December 31, 2027. This program supplements Zeta’s existing repurchase program, which still has $15 million available for use.

In addition to raising revenue guidance, Zeta increased its full-year Adjusted EBITDA forecast to $263.6-265.6 million, representing YoY growth of 37-38%. The company also boosted its Free Cash Flow guidance to $140.0-144.0 million, a significant 52-56% increase from the previous year.

Zeta will hold its second Investor Day on October 8, followed by its fifth annual Zeta Live conference on October 9 in New York City.
