The company's single-digit revenue growth and tepid outlook make the stock a hard sell, said Tim Seymour.

Zoom Video has lost the momentum it had during the work-from-home boom, and a strong earnings report did little to change that, according to traders on CNBC's " Fast Money ." The company on Monday reported adjusted earnings of $1.22 per share and $1.12 billion in revenue for the fourth quarter. Analysts surveyed by Refinitiv were expecting 81 cents per share and $1.10 billion in revenue. Shares rose about 8% in extended trading.

The stock soared above $500 per share in 2020 as the use of video conferencing soared, but Zoom has since given back all of those gains. ZM 5Y mountain Zoom's stock has fallen well below its pandemic-era levels. Michael Khouw, chief strategist at Optimize Advisors, said that the stock still doesn't look like a great deal compared with its competitors. "You could actually buy Cisco at about 10-times earnings, and they have WebEx," Khouw said.
