Description: MSI Motorola Solutions January 27, 2026
Motorola Solutions (NYSE:MSI) sells public-safety and enterprise-security hardware, software, and services across the U.S., U.K., Canada and other markets. Its business is split into two operating segments: (1) Products & Systems Integration, which builds and integrates land-mobile-radio (LMR) radios, video-surveillance cameras, access-control gear, core network equipment and related analytics; and (2) Software & Services, which delivers command-center platforms, unified-communications apps, cyber-security support and ongoing maintenance for government, first-responder and commercial customers.
Key recent metrics (FY 2025, per the company’s Form 10-K and Bloomberg data) show: Revenue of $10.5 billion, a 6 % year-over-year increase; operating margin of 23 %; diluted EPS of $3.45; and an order backlog of roughly $12 billion, indicating strong pipeline visibility. The U.S. public-safety budget is projected by the Congressional Budget Office to rise about 4 % CAGR through 2029, while 5G-enabled public-safety networks are accelerating demand for MSI’s LMR and video-analytics solutions-both macro-drivers that underpin the company’s growth outlook.
