Executive summary

Zebra Technologies makes the devices and software that help businesses track, scan and manage items and people. Its range includes barcode scanners, mobile computers, label and receipt printers, RFID readers and machine vision systems, along with software that ties them together. Retailers, warehouses and logistics companies, manufacturers and healthcare providers use them to keep inventory accurate and workflows moving.

The company earns revenue from hardware, from recurring software and services, and from repair and support contracts. Over the last twelve months it reached $5.8 billion, though revenue growth over the last three years was -2.3% a year, a decline. The operating margin is 14.7%, and the business earns a profit of 10% on the capital invested in it. It has net debt of 2.6 times EBITDA. No dividend is paid.

StocksXray gives Zebra Technologies Corp an X-Ray Score of 45 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 33% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is valuation (65) and its weakest is financial health (30).

Our fair value blend is $322.48 (range $310.42 to $333.06). At $369.01 the stock trades 14% above that blend, so the label is "Fair" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
