    Zebra raises FY revenue guide to 17% and hikes prices 15% on memory costs

    Question

    Zebra raises FY revenue guide to 17% and hikes prices 15% on memory costs

    Direct answer

    Zebra Technologies delivered third-quarter sales above $1.6 billion, up 11% on an organic basis, and upgraded its full-year top-line guidance to 17%. The results demonstrate continued demand across enterprise tracking and mobile computing hardware. To mitigate input pressure, Zebra executed a 15% price hike across its mobile computing catalog in October. Management attributed the measure directly to a $145 million cost headwind in memory semiconductors, reinforcing signs of tighter memory supply chains. — bullish pressure on ZBRA.
