The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.31 billion, which indicates growth of 29.9% from the year-ago quarter’s figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at $3.95 per share, indicating an increase of 131% from a year ago.
The consensus estimate for earnings has been stable in the past 60 days. The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the consensus estimate in each of the preceding four quarters, the average surprise being 10.2%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Zebra Technologies this earnings season.
Factors Likely to Have Influenced ZBRA’s Q4 Performance
Solid demand for mobile computing products and data capture solutions is expected to have driven Enterprise Visibility & Mobility’s fourth-quarter performance. An increase in sales of services and software, driven by retail software wins, is also likely to have augmented its top line. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility segment’s revenues is pegged at $871 million, which indicates a 34.4% increase from the year-ago number.
Recovery in demand for RFID (radio frequency identification) products is anticipated to have driven the performance of the Asset Intelligence and Tracking segment. However, weakness in the printing solution end market is likely to have offset some gains. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Asset Intelligence and Tracking segment’s revenues is pegged at $441 million, indicating 27.5% growth from the year-ago number.
The company’s focus on boosting digital capabilities, optimizing the supply chain, and expanding data analytics capability and marketing activities is likely to have boosted its performance. Also, ZBRA’s expanded cost-reduction program and employee voluntary retirement plan are likely to have boosted its margins and profitability.
Given the company’s extensive geographic presence, its operations are subject to foreign exchange headwinds. A stronger U.S. dollar is likely to have hurt Zebra Technologies' overseas business.
