What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($307.87). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (65/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range ($134.24 to $307.87) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $197.99 – $614.55 · fair‑value band $134.24 – $307.87 · the $357.50 price screens above the $246.30 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
Zebra Technologies Corporation (ZBRA) currently trades at $357.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $246.30, implying the stock looks roughly 45.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $271.29 per share, and 2 of the 24 models we run sit above the $357.50 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $50.47, and 22 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Zebra Technologies Corporation generated revenue of $5.6B at a net margin of 7.5%. Revenue grew 14.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.8%. Net debt stands at $2.7B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $134.24 (bear case) to $307.87 (bull case); at $357.50, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades near its 52-week high and 80% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −52% fair-value upside, at −31%, ZBRA screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $5.60 per share, which is 2.3 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($271.29) versus Asset-Based ($50.47). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (76).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 64 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 64
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
