Zebra Technologies Corp (ZBRA-Q) has garnered attention for its position in the market, particularly in relation to inflation-linked investments. Experts suggest that the government's offering of low coupons, which are adjusted according to actual inflation rates, places significant emphasis on accurate inflation forecasting. Investors must be wary, as higher inflation expectations embedded in current prices could lead to smaller coupons if inflation turns out to be lower than anticipated. Consequently, this investment vehicle is deemed more suitable for specialists in the area of economic forecasting rather than the average investor. Given the complexities of predicting inflation and its direct impact on returns, potential investors should conduct thorough research and consider their expertise in economic trends before proceeding.
EPS of $1.71 beat estimates of $1.65; revenue of $1B was 1.3% better than expected. The outlook was quite solid. Revenue has solidly improved from the Q3 bottom and channel inventories are lower, suggesting future demand strength. 2024 sales growth is still low (1% to 3%) but earnings are recovering much faster, with better margins and lower tax rates. We think the pop was justified.

ZBRA's share price has been falling alongside the market so far in September, but this has been somewhat exacerbated by a rating downgrade by Morgan Stanley. We do not feel that anything has fundamentally changed, and its weakness is similar to many names in today's market. It trades at a somewhat premium valuation, with a forward P/E of ~30X, and has decent margins, but sales growth has been somewhat muted recently and investors are likely trying to connect its premium valuation to sales growth. Earnings growth is expected to be strong in the coming years, and we like it for the industrial robotic side of things. We are comfortable with the name, especially for a long-term hold, but we might expect some further downside pressure as it retests its lows of ~$230.

Likes the story, because e-commerce will continue to grow. Grew rapidly through Covid, and that growth is now being digested. Good time to buy. Company's not going away. Product needed, as it's all about logistics.
Paul Harris, CFAIntegral to e-commerce. Grew rapidly through Covid. Key for inventory management. E-commerce is settling down, but isn't going away. Debt-free by end of year. Great story at these levels. Really well run.
