Zebra (ZBRA) to report earnings tomorrow: here is what to expect

What happened

Zebra Technologies is scheduled to report earnings Tuesday before the market opens. Analysts expect revenue to grow 19% year over year this quarter, compared with 5.2% growth in the same quarter last year. Last quarter, revenue was $1.56 billion, up 20.4% year over year, and exceeded analysts’ expectations.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The results will show whether Zebra’s revenue growth is accelerating as analysts expect. Stronger sales could indicate improving demand for its enterprise data capture products, while a shortfall could challenge those expectations; the article provides no earnings result yet, so the direction remains uncertain.

Analyst inference

The article reports mixed share-price moves after two peers’ results, but that does not establish how Zebra’s shares will respond. For Zebra, reported revenue growth relative to the 19% expectation could inform views of demand and future sales, while estimates alone do not confirm results.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Zebra’s reported revenue versus the expected 19% year-over-year growth will indicate whether the anticipated acceleration from last year’s 5.2% increase materialized. Analyst inference
2. The earnings announcement is scheduled for Tuesday before the market opens; investors can compare the reported results with analysts’ expectations once they are released. Confirmed
3. Watch whether Zebra reports revenue, organic revenue, and earnings per share above or below expectations; last quarter it exceeded estimates on all three measures. Analyst inference
