What the Analysts think about MSI
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Motorola Solutions stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Motorola Solutions stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Motorola’s latest quarter showed broad-based momentum: sales rose 13%, Products and Systems Integration grew 15%, Software and Services grew 10%, and non-GAAP EPS rose 24%. Management raised its full-year 2026 revenue and adjusted EPS guidance again. (Motorola Solutions, Reuters)
Record second-quarter orders lifted backlog to $15.6 billion, up 11% year on year, with backlog growth across both hardware and software. That gives Motorola useful revenue visibility if it can convert the orders on schedule. (Motorola Solutions)
The D-Fend acquisition adds a fast-growing counter-drone business to Motorola’s public-safety ecosystem. D-Fend reported more than 50% annual revenue growth over the past three years, expected 2026 revenue of $185 million and deployments in more than 30 countries. (Nasdaq)
Second-quarter adjusted EPS benefited from a $60 million tariff refund, while Motorola is also facing higher memory costs and elevated inventory as it manages supply-chain volatility. These pressures could limit margin expansion after the temporary benefit fades. (Reuters, MarketScreener)
Motorola is layering another $1.5 billion acquisition onto a balance sheet that still had $1.3 billion outstanding from the Silvus acquisition’s term loans at the end of the first quarter. The added deal increases funding and integration risk if D-Fend takes longer than expected to scale. (Motorola Solutions, Nasdaq)
Backlog was $15.6 billion at the end of the second quarter, slightly below the $15.7 billion recorded at the end of the first quarter despite record quarterly orders. This suggests execution and continued bookings remain important, rather than treating the headline backlog as guaranteed near-term sales. (Motorola Solutions, Motorola Solutions)
