The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ZBRA’s fourth-quarter earnings has remained steady in the past 60 days. The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the preceding four quarters while missing in one.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Zebra Technologies this earnings season.
Zebra Technologies Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Growth across data capture, printing, supplies, services and software solutions is likely to have aided Zebra Technologies’ fourth-quarter performance.
Growth in printing and supplies owing to continued improvement in product availability is expected to have driven the Asset Intelligence and Tracking segment’s performance. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for segmental revenues in the fourth quarter indicates an 8% increase from the sequential quarter’s reported figure. Acquired assets are expected to have boosted ZBRA’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, supply-chain challenges related to component shortages are likely to have affected profitability in the to-be-reported quarter. Foreign currency headwinds might have impacted the top-line performance.
Apart from these headwinds, a soft demand environment is likely to have weighed on performance. For the fourth quarter, Zebra Technologies expects adjusted net sales to either decrease up to 2% or increase up to 1%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net sales indicates a dip of 0.6% from the fourth quarter of 2021 reported number.
