Zebra Technologies Stock Jumped 20% Today on the Best Problem in Tech
Zebra beat its own earnings guidance by nearly $2 per share and raised the full-year outlook by 13%. A memory chip shortage is the key constraint capping the financial upside in 2026.
Overview
Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA) stock broke into a run on Tuesday morning, up 20.3% as of 11 a.m. ET. The rugged-device and asset-tracking specialist reported strong second-quarter results before the opening bell, and the stock is now trading at fresh 52-week highs.
Zebra's adjusted earnings hit $6.35 per share. Analyst consensus was $4.36. Zebra's own guidance in May topped out at $4.50, so management beat the optimistic end of its own homework by 41%. Sales rose 20.4% to $1.56 billion, with organic growth of 9.2% and gains in every region.
Details
A $73 million tariff recovery flattered the quarter, and only $41 million of that promised payback has materialized as cash so far.
