A Decade of SG&A: QUALCOMM vs. Zebra Technologies

In the ever-evolving tech industry, operational efficiency is key to maintaining a competitive edge. Over the past decade, QUALCOMM Incorporated and Zebra Technologies Corporation have demonstrated contrasting trends in their Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses. From 2014 to 2023, QUALCOMM's SG&A expenses have seen a steady increase, peaking in 2018 with a 30% rise from 2014. This reflects their aggressive expansion and innovation strategies. In contrast, Zebra Technologies, while starting with lower SG&A expenses, has shown a more volatile pattern, with a notable 180% increase from 2014 to 2022, indicating strategic investments in growth and market penetration. However, data for 2024 is missing for Zebra, leaving room for speculation on their future trajectory. This analysis provides a window into how these tech giants manage their operational costs amidst industry challenges.
