Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA) shares rose 12.1% on the week to Friday morning, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence . The move comes after the company's fourth-quarter earnings report encouraged investors to believe the worst might be over for the company.
The rise has nothing to do with its recent numbers. Fourth-quarter sales declined by 33%, and full-year sales were down 21%. Moreover, management doesn't see much near-term improvement, with guidance for first-quarter sales to decline by 17% to 20%.
