    Zebra hikes mobile computing prices 15% to offset memory costs

    Question

    Zebra hikes mobile computing prices 15% to offset memory costs

    Direct answer

    Zebra Technologies released Q3 2026 results showing sales above $1.6 billion, representing an 11% organic expansion, according to The Motley Fool. Full-year revenue growth targets were bumped up to 17%, supported by robust enterprise scanner and mobile computing demand. Importantly for the supply chain, Zebra absorbed a $145 million cost headwind related to rising memory component prices. In response, management enacted an across-the-board 15% price hike on mobile computing hardware in October, confirming that industrial suppliers are passing memory cost inflation into enterprise budgets.
