Zebra Technologies Gears Up to Post Q1 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Zebra Technologies Corporation (ZBRA - Free Report) is slated to release first-quarter 2025 results on April 29, before market open.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.28 billion, which indicates growth of 9% from the year-ago quarter’s figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at $3.60 per share, indicating an increase of 26.8% 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 9.3%. (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Zebra Technologies this earnings season.
Factors Likely to Have Influenced ZBRA’s Q1 Performance
Strong demand for mobile computing products and data capture solutions is expected to have driven Enterprise Visibility & Mobility’s first-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 $852 million, which indicates an 8.8% increase from the year-ago number.
Recovery in demand for printing solutions and RFID (radio frequency identification) products is anticipated to have driven the performance of the Asset Intelligence and Tracking segment. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Asset Intelligence and Tracking segment’s revenues is pegged at $434 million, indicating 10.7% growth from the year-ago number.
Despite strength across end markets, Zebra Technologies’ performance has been negatively impacted by high costs and expenses over time. Although supply-chain constraints moderated, labor shortage and an increase in raw material costs are expected to have hurt the company’s bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.
Also, 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.
