Zebra Technologies (ZBRA) has had a choppy run lately, with the stock sliding over the past 3 months even as revenue and net income keep growing. This sets up an interesting valuation debate. See our latest analysis for Zebra Technologies. Zooming out, the stock’s recent 7 day and 90 day share price declines sit against a much steeper year to date slide.
