Zebra Technologies Corp (ZBRA) is not a strong buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy at this time. The stock is currently in a bearish trend, with weak technical indicators and declining financial performance in the latest quarter. While hedge funds are buying, the lack of recent positive news, weak earnings growth, and no significant trading signals suggest waiting for a clearer entry point.
The technical indicators show a bearish trend. The MACD is negative and expanding downward (-2.158), the RSI (35.836) is neutral but leaning toward oversold territory, and the moving averages are bearish (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5). The stock is trading below key support levels, with the next support at S2: 215.785.
Hedge funds are significantly increasing their positions in the stock, with a 119288.89% increase in buying activity over the last quarter. Analysts have raised price targets recently, with UBS setting a target of $335 and maintaining a Buy rating.
The company's financial performance in Q4 2025 showed a significant decline in net income (-57.06% YoY) and EPS (-56.05% YoY), along with a drop in gross margin (-4.64%). The stock is in a bearish technical trend, and there is no recent news or congress trading data to provide additional support.
In Q4 2025, revenue increased by 10.57% YoY to $1.475 billion, but net income dropped significantly by 57.06% YoY to $70 million. EPS declined by 56.05% YoY to 1.38, and gross margin fell to 44.61%, down 4.64% YoY. This indicates weak profitability despite revenue growth.
Analysts have mixed ratings. UBS has a Buy rating with a raised price target of $335, while Barclays lowered its target to $330 but maintained an Overweight rating. Citi and Morgan Stanley have Neutral and Equal Weight ratings, respectively, with slightly raised price targets. The overall sentiment is cautiously optimistic but not overwhelmingly bullish.
