ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES CORP 8-K

What Happened

• Zebra Technologies Corporation (ZBRA) announced its results of operations and financial position for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025 in a press release dated February 12, 2026 (attached as Exhibit 99.1). The company stated this information in Item 2.02 of its Form 8-K; the press release is incorporated by reference but is not deemed “filed” for Section 18 purposes.
• The company also disclosed an increase to its existing share repurchase authorization in Item 8.01, in a press release dated February 12, 2026 (attached as Exhibit 99.2). The filing notes the repurchase authorization has no stated expiration date and repurchases may be made in open market transactions or under Rule 10b5-1 plans.

Key Details

• Filing date: February 12, 2026; reporting period: quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
• Press releases attached as exhibits: 99.1 (financial results) and 99.2 (share repurchase update).
• The Form 8-K states an increase to the share repurchase authorization, but the excerpt provided shows the amount as “.0 billion” (the specific dollar amount is not included in the text provided).
• Repurchases are discretionary, subject to market conditions, securities laws, the company’s cash needs and other factors; authorization has no expiration date.

Why It Matters

• The earnings press release provides the latest quarterly and annual financial information investors use to assess revenue, profitability and trends; investors should review Exhibit 99.1 for the specific revenue, earnings and other metrics.
• An increased share repurchase authorization can affect future share count and earnings per share if the company executes buybacks; because the Form 8-K does not state the exact amount in the excerpt, investors should check Exhibit 99.2 or company statements for the authorized dollar amount and planned timing.
• Both announcements are high-level corporate actions (results disclosure and capital allocation update) that can influence short-term stock movement and longer-term investor returns; readers should review the attached press releases and subsequent filings for full numeric detail.
