ZBRA FY2026 Q2 · Calendar Q3 2026

Zebra Technologies Corporation

Zebra’s Q2 evidence supports a constructive operating trajectory: strong reported growth, margin expansion and a higher full-year sales outlook were accompanied by continued investment in AI, RFID and machine vision. The durability of that trajectory depends on memory costs, pricing execution, regional demand and delivery of the multiyear pipeline.

ZBRA FY2026 Q1 · Calendar Q2 2026

Zebra Technologies Corporation

Zebra Technologies entered FY2026 with stronger-than-expected demand across RFID, machine vision, and AI-enabled solutions, producing a 14% revenue increase and a 90-basis-point EBITDA margin expansion to 23.2%. Management raised full-year guidance on both the top and bottom lines, expressed confidence in offsetting memory cost pressures through pricing and supply actions with line-of-sight to memory supply through 2027, and accelerated share repurchases to $500 million year-to-date. The Elo Touch acquisition is contributing mid-single-digit growth, while investments in the Frontline AI Suite and next-generation RFID-enabled hardware position Zebra to capitalize on enterprise automation trends.

ZBRA FY2025 Q4 · Calendar Q1 2026

Zebra Technologies Corporation

The quarter provides evidence for a constructive operating trajectory: demand in RFID, machine vision and AI solutions, together with acquisitions, supported strong growth and maintained guidance. The main test is whether pricing and execution can offset memory costs while preserving margins and sustaining demand.

EPS surprise-0.2%
Market move+8.6%
ZBRA FY2025 Q3 · Calendar Q4 2025

Zebra Technologies Corporation

The supplied analysis supports a constructive but qualified view: demand in mobile computing, printing and RFID, plus the Elo and Photoneo integrations, supports growth; maintained guidance, uneven regional demand, tariffs and uncertainty around AI monetization temper the case.

EPS surprise+3.5%
Market move-11.7%
ZBRA FY2025 Q2 · Calendar Q3 2025

Zebra Technologies Corporation

Zebra's latest call supports a constructive operating trajectory: demand in several regions and categories remained resilient, tariff pressure was reduced, and management raised guidance. The thesis is not risk-free because EMEA softness, FX, trade-policy uncertainty, and Elo integration could limit execution.

EPS surprise+8.1%
Market move-11.4%
ZBRA FY2025 Q1 · Calendar Q2 2025

Zebra Technologies Corporation

The quarter supports a constructive but qualified view: demand in automation, RFID, AI, and machine vision remains important to the growth case, while tariffs and execution risks are weighing on near-term profitability.
