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
Q2 sales rose 13%, backlog reached a record $15.6 billion, up 11%, and management raised its 2026 revenue and adjusted earnings outlook. The stronger order book gives near-term revenue visibility. (Motorola Solutions, Reuters)
Louisiana awarded MSI a $139 million, 10-year contract spanning radios, body cameras, digital evidence and command-centre technology. The integrated deployment across six agencies could deepen long-term customer relationships and support recurring services. (Motorola Solutions)
MSI expects its acquired Silvus business to generate about $850 million in 2026 revenue, while the planned $1.5 billion D-Fend deal would add counter-drone technology. Together, these moves broaden its exposure to defence and unmanned-systems demand. (The Motley Fool, Motorola Solutions)
MSI expects direct memory spending to rise to about $150 million this year from $50 million last year, while keeping inventory elevated amid supply uncertainty. Q2’s 330-basis-point non-GAAP margin expansion also included a $60 million tariff-refund benefit, which is not a recurring source of earnings. (Motorola Solutions, The Motley Fool)
A proposed California class action alleges that MSI’s licence-plate-reader data was shared without adequate notice or consent, and a US senator has opened scrutiny into camera companies’ use of personal data. These unresolved allegations and scrutiny could create legal, regulatory and reputational risks for its video business. (ClassAction.org, The Hill)
Acquisitions contributed $243 million and foreign-exchange movements added $35 million to Q2 revenue, which rose 13% to $3.1 billion. This means a substantial share of reported growth came from those contributions, making the pace harder to sustain without continued deal or currency support. (Motorola Solutions)
