Following weeks of anticipation for tech sector results, Q2 reports revealed strong performance for several major software and technology firms.

Semtech also topped expectations with earnings of $0.71 per share compared to the projected $0.62.

This collective performance reflects continued growth in cloud and enterprise services despite broader economic conditions. Per market data, Zoom (ZM) shares finished at $104.83 at the close of August 24, 2026, having traded between a low of $103.01 and a high of $107.49 during that session.

Traders should watch ZM price levels relative to its last close of $104.83 (close August 24, 2026) for signs of sustained momentum. Looking ahead, while the upcoming calendar shows few direct tech catalysts, the market remains influenced by recent macro data including UK and EU inflation figures and the FOMC minutes, all released on August 19.
