ZoomInfo Projected 2026 as a Year of Offensive Growth and Revenue Acceleration. Instead, Investors Absorbed a 33% Stock Price Collapse When the Company Slashed Its Own Guidance.
NEW YORK, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Levi & Korsinsky, LLP highlights the contrast between ZoomInfo Technologies, Inc.’s (NASDAQ: GTM) promises to investors and the results that actually materialized. Shareholders who purchased GTM securities between November 3, 2025 and May 11, 2026 and suffered losses may be entitled to compensation.

GTM shares fell $1.98 per share, a decline of approximately 33%, after the Company revealed a sharp decline in its growth outlook and cut full-year 2026 guidance. The lead plaintiff deadline is August 24, 2026.
The Promise
Across earnings calls and investor conferences from November 2025 through February 2026, the Company projected confidence at every turn:
- Management called Q3 2025 results “record revenue” and claimed “accelerating Upmarket momentum”
- Net revenue retention was highlighted at 90%, described as the highest level since Q2 2023
- The Operations suite was promoted as growing over 20% year-over-year and “accelerating as it gets bigger”
- On February 9, 2026, the Company guided fiscal 2026 revenue in the range of 1.247 billion to 1.267 billion, representing positive annual growth
- Management stated: “We are confident in our path ahead and in our ability to sustainably deliver revenue growth and industry-leading profitability”
The Reality
On May 11, 2026, ZoomInfo announced Q1 2026 results that shattered these projections. The Company disclosed a sharp decline in its growth outlook and lowered full-year 2026 financial guidance. The stock collapsed 33% in a single trading session.
The Numbers: Promised vs. Actual
- Promised: Positive 1% annual revenue growth for 2026 at guidance midpoint
- Actual: Growth outlook sharply reduced, full-year guidance cut
- Promised: Improving net revenue retention trajectory, with upmarket retention above 100%
- Actual: Retention trends insufficient to offset weakening downmarket fundamentals
- Promised: AI products and Operations suite would drive sustainable growth
- Actual: Legacy seat-based subscription platforms continued to slow, and customers were increasingly migrating toward consumption-based pricing and developing internally built AI-driven go-to-market solutions that reduced demand for ZoomInfo’s products.
What the Lawsuit Alleges About the Gap
The securities action contends that this was not simply a case of missed forecasts. The complaint charges that management knew the legacy seat-based subscription business was deteriorating, that customers were migrating to consumption-based usage models, and that downmarket retention was weakening. Rather than disclose these material trends, the Company allegedly painted an overwhelmingly positive picture of AI-driven transformation and sustained growth.
“Companies that make specific promises to investors about future performance have an obligation to disclose known risks to those projections. When the gap between promise and reality is this stark, serious questions arise about what was known internally and when.” — Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
