Motorola Solutions surpassed analyst expectations with robust second-quarter results, reporting adjusted earnings of $3.57 per share—well above the projected $3.36—and revenue growth of 5.2% to $2.77 billion. The company raised its full-year guidance, now forecasting revenue of $11.65 billion (up 7.7% year-over-year) and adjusted earnings between $14.88 and $14.98 per share, exceeding Wall Street estimates. Growth was driven by strong demand in North America and international markets, particularly for its software and services segment, which saw a 15% surge. The firm’s backlog hit a record $14.1 billion, while operating cash flow jumped by $92 million to $272 million.
Acquisition Fuels Expansion Momentum
Despite the upbeat performance, Motorola’s stock dipped 1.6% post-announcement. The company remains bullish, citing its recent $4.4 billion acquisition of Silvus Technologies, expected to add $185 million to 2025 revenue and bolster its wireless communications portfolio. For Q3, management anticipates 7% revenue growth and earnings of $3.82–$3.87 per share, reinforcing confidence in its market leadership for public safety and enterprise solutions.
