The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s third-quarter earnings has been revised downward by 9.7% in the past 90 days. However, the company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average beat being 8.5%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Zebra Technologies this earnings season.
Zebra Technologies Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Strong backlog and robust demand for solutions are expected to have driven Zebra Technologies’ third-quarter performance. The Asset Intelligence & Tracking segment is expected to have benefited from a strong recovery in printing. Solid growth in data capture and mobile computing solutions is likely to have supported the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility segment’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Asia Pacific sales are expected to reflect higher sales from India. Strong growth in Mexico sales is expected to have boosted Latin America sales. For the third quarter of 2022, Zebra Technologies anticipates adjusted net sales to increase 2-4% year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same indicates a year-over-year change of 2.8%.
Contributions from the acquisitions of Matrox Imaging (June 2022), antuit.ai (October 2021) and Adaptive Vision (May 2021) are expected to have boosted ZBRA’s top line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. For the third quarter, ZBRA expects acquired businesses to have an approximate 2-point positive impact on net sales.
However, extended lead times and component shortages due to supply-chain disruptions are likely to have impacted North America sales. High freight costs might have dented Zebra Technologies’ bottom-line performance. A strengthening US dollar might have depressed the company’s overseas business performance. For the third quarter, ZBRA expects a 3-point negative impact from foreign-currency translation.
