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
Third-quarter sales rose 12%, orders hit a record and backlog grew 14% to $16.6 billion. Motorola raised its full-year revenue and earnings outlook again, giving it strong near-term visibility. (Motorola Solutions)
Software and Services revenue grew 13% in the third quarter, while a $139 million, 10-year Louisiana contract combines radio services, video and command-centre tools across six state agencies. This shows the company can use its installed base to win longer-term, integrated customer work. (Motorola Solutions, Motorola Solutions)
The D-Fend acquisition adds counter-drone technology to Motorola’s public-safety and communications portfolio. Management expects D-Fend revenue to grow 40%–50% in 2027, offering a route into a fast-growing adjacent market. (Motorola Solutions, StockAnalysis)
Motorola says rising memory prices, tariffs and import restrictions are increasing component costs and supply uncertainty, and it expects inventory to remain elevated. Those pressures could limit margin improvement even as demand stays strong. (Motorola Solutions)
The $1.3 billion D-Fend purchase was funded mainly with $950 million of new debt, adding acquisition and integration risk. Management expects year-end net debt of about twice EBITDA, while higher interest payments contributed to lower third-quarter free cash flow year on year. (Motorola Solutions, StockAnalysis)
MCH Analysis put the shares at about 28 times forward earnings and estimated value at $391 versus a $497 share price. That premium leaves scope for a sharp re-rating if earnings growth or execution falls short of market expectations. (MCH Analysis Research)
