Straight From the Striped Horse's Mouth: How Zebra Is Beating the Global Chip Shortage

Barcode-scanning and data management expert Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA) delivered a fantastic third-quarter report last week. Sales rose 30% year over year to $1.44 billion. Adjusted earnings jumped 39% higher, landing at $4.55 per diluted share. To put these numbers in perspective, your average Wall Street analyst would have settled for earnings near $4.06 per share on revenues in the neighborhood of $1.40 billion.

And Zebra achieved these impressive results while battling several significant headwinds, including the ongoing battle against COVID-19 and a global shortage of semiconductor products.
