Why now
Communication Equipment · market cap $13.9b. 17% off the 52-week high of $350.64. PEG 0.63 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 16 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $332.44 (implying +14% upside).
Moat
ROE 12% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere. FCF converts 200% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Beta 1.58 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return. Trailing P/E 35x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
Horizon
1-3 yr $332.44 (16-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $486.72 at ~11% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $722.02 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Zebra Technologies Corporation (ZBRA): score, valuation & FAQ

Zebra Technologies Corporation (ZBRA) is a Communication Equipment company that scores 65.3 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are PEG (A-). On valuation, ZBRA sits about 37% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 16% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is ZBRA a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores ZBRA 65.3 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by PEG (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of Zebra Technologies Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does ZBRA score 65.3 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). ZBRA earns its highest marks on PEG (A-). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is ZBRA overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $291.64, ZBRA sits about 37% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 16% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 35.2x× P/E (graded B). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in ZBRA?

Beta 1.58 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return. Trailing P/E 35x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
