Stocks making the biggest moves after hours: Workday, Estee Lauder, Zoom, Take-Two and more
Several high-profile names are posting notable after-hours moves post-earnings, with Workday, Estee Lauder, and Zoom among the movers. The lack of price targets in enrichment data and mixed consensus across names makes a single clean Angle difficult, but Zoom's massive EPS beat (+73%) and AI/CX momentum narrative stand out as the most actionable setup.

The read · May 21
ZM long into post-earnings follow-through — a 73% EPS beat with AI and CX momentum cited as drivers sets up a squeeze in a stock still held short by insiders and priced at ~$100 with a mixed-but-improving consensus.
Wrong if
The 17 insider sells in the last 30 days suggest distribution near current prices; if after-hours move is already exhausted or guidance is underwhelming on closer read, the stock could fade hard back below $100 with no consensus price target to anchor fair value.

The read, in fullWhy it matters
ZM beat EPS estimates by 73% and management highlighted AI and Customer Experience (CX) momentum on the Q1 call — two narratives the market is actively re-rating. Consensus sits at 10SB/13B/13H/3S, meaning there's room for upgrades to pull the stock higher if the beat is deemed durable. However, 17 insider sales in the last 30 days with zero buys is a real yellow flag — insiders may be using any pop to distribute, capping upside.
