The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has remained stable in the past 60 days. The company has a decent earnings surprise history, having outperformed the consensus estimate in three of the preceding four quarters while missing in one. The average surprise was 8.6%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.17 billion, which indicates a decline of 3.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at $2.82 per share, indicating a 14.3% decline from a year ago.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Zebra Technologies this earnings season.
Zebra Technologies Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Solid demand for services, software and RFID (radio frequency identification) products, driven by increased parcel tracking in transportation logistics markets and airports, is expected to have driven Enterprise Visibility & Mobility’s second-quarter performance.
However, weak demand for data capture and mobile computing solutions is likely to have offset the gains. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Enterprise Visibility & Mobility segment’s revenues is pegged at $786.2 million, which indicates a 4.1% increase from the year-ago reported number.
Also, prolonged weakness in the printing end market is expected to have hurt the Asset Intelligence and Tracking segment’s performance. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Asset Intelligence and Tracking segment’s revenues is pegged at $392 million, indicating a 15% decline from the year-ago reported number.
Nevertheless, ZBRA has announced an expanded cost-reduction program as it grapples with a slowdown in end markets and demand softness. The cost-saving actions are likely to have boosted the company’s 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.
Earnings Whisper
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for ZBRA this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here, as elaborated below.
