With a market cap of $79.8 billion, Motorola Solutions, Inc. (MSI) is a global leader in public safety and enterprise security solutions. The company operates through two segments: Products and Systems Integration, and Software and Services, offering mission-critical communications, video security, and command center solutions.
Companies valued at $10 billion or more are generally classified as “large-cap” stocks, and Motorola Solutions fits this criterion perfectly. Serving government agencies, public safety organizations, and diverse commercial industries worldwide, Motorola Solutions helps customers enhance safety, security, and operational efficiency.
Despite experiencing a 5.9% decline from its recent 52-week high of $507.82, the communications equipment maker has shown resilience with its shares gaining 14.4% over the past three months. This performance outpaces the broader iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (IYZ)'s 9.9% return during the same period.
In the longer term, MSI stock has risen 3.4% on a YTD basis, lagging behind IYZ's 17.6% gain. Over the past 52 weeks, shares of Motorola Solutions have increased 10.8%, compared to IYZ's 36.2% surge over the same period.
MSI stock has been trading above its 50-day moving average since mid-July and has remained above its 200-day moving average since August.
Shares of Motorola Solutions rose 1.9% on Aug. 7 after the company reported Q2 2025 revenue of $2.8 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.75, above expectations. The company also raised its fiscal 2025 revenue growth forecast to 7.7%, higher than its prior 5.5% projection and ahead of analyst estimates, with the newly closed $4.4 billion Silvus Technologies acquisition contributing to the outlook. Strong demand for safety and security solutions across resilient sectors such as healthcare, critical infrastructure, and education, along with supply chain adjustments and pricing actions, further supported investor confidence.
However, MSI stock has significantly lagged behind its rival, Ubiquiti Inc. (UI). UI stock has climbed 73.9% on a YTD basis and 204.8% over the past 52 weeks.
Despite the stock's underperformance, analysts are moderately optimistic about the stock's prospects. MSI stock has a consensus rating of “Moderate Buy” from the 13 analysts covering it, and the mean price target of $510.62 is a premium of 7.1% to current levels.
