This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

Motorola Solutions (MSI-N) has experienced a solid performance in recent years, particularly in its communications and security sectors, which cater to police, government agencies, and military services. However, its software management division faces challenges, especially with the rising influence of AI, which may impact pricing and revenue potential. The stock has recently encountered headwinds following a period of strong performance, primarily influenced by high long-term interest rates affecting growth sectors. Despite these challenges, analysts see Motorola as a promising long-term investment, especially if purchased during price dips. Consensus seems to lean towards cautious optimism with an average price target suggesting potential upside.

HOLD
Probably just starting to build a base. Had a nice run but as it started at $25 in 2006 and came down to $2.98 the recent run did not recover everything. 200 day moving average has just started to turn up. Because of the recent move, you should probably expect a little correction to about $8 so a stoploss should be below $6 or $7.
DON'T BUY
Had a very tough time over the last several years. Losing market share. Can't see a big turnaround. In a very competitive marketplace.
COMMENT
Biggest problem has been their difficulty with interface but have teamed up with Google (GOOG-Q) and are now getting a new look. Could add more competition to this space.
DON'T BUY
Have lots of problems. Has another $1 to drop. This quarter won’t be pretty and there’s not much on the horizon that’s going to help.
DON'T BUY
Did a poor job on the handset side. Burning cash at $1 billion annually. Having a very difficult time in all their segments and margins are collapsing in a lot of them.
TRADE
Up against some very good competition. Nokia has taken a lot of their market share. Has a ways to go before you see a recovery.
BUY
Thinks there has been an overreaction on the stock. Expects the company will be split out into the different divisions. Be prepared to suffer through another quarter or two of less than stellar results.
DON'T BUY
Being hit pretty badly because their Razor phones lost popularity. They look cool, but don't have the functionality of Nokia's phones.
DON'T BUY
They are in a dogfight. Cell phones are a fashion industry right now. Right now, Nokia (NOK-N) seems to be the leader and is taking market share. This could change back again very quickly.
BUY
New CEO. Going forward, they will generate a lot more cash than they do today. Lost a lot of market share. Based on the R&D that they spend they will be in the game, but not right now. This gives you stock at a discounted price. Doesn't know if they can execute a turnaround in the next 12 months, but in the next 3 or 4 years it should be at least a double.
DON'T BUY
Not a fan of this one. Haven't got their act together yet. They were the leading cell phone company at one time but have gotten themselves into trouble. Lost a lot of market share domestically and globally. In the meantime, Nokia (NOK-N) is going gangbusters and stealing market share from them.
BUY
Likes it.
DON'T BUY
Would own Nokia (NOK-N) instead. This one has no inertia behind it. There is management turmoil.
TOP PICK
Retrenching to get their cost structure in line. Think they will ultimately get its sorted out.
DON'T BUY
Not a fan. They came out with the razor phone, but didn't have any follow-up. Their competitors are gaining market share.
