Motorola Solutions (ISIN US6200763075) was trading at EUR 397.05 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 11:07 a.m. CEST. According to Yahoo Finance on October 8, 2026, Evercore ISI raised its price target from USD 525.00 to USD 550.00, keeping the analyst focus on valuation rather than a new earnings release.
Three dated operating signals
On August 5, 2026, Motorola Solutions reported second-quarter revenue of USD 3.13 billion and adjusted earnings per share of USD 4.41, according to MarketBeat. Revenue increased 13.30 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while adjusted earnings per share exceeded the USD 3.85 consensus estimate by USD 0.56.
On August 20, 2026, Motorola Solutions completed its USD 1.50 billion acquisition of D-Fend Solutions, adding counter-drone technology to its public safety portfolio, as reported by Yahoo Finance. On October 5, 2026, the company announced a contract with Austria's Federal Ministry of Justice to equip 29 prison facilities with V500 body cameras and VideoManager software, according to Motorola Solutions.
What does the contract add?
The Austrian rollout combines LTE-enabled body cameras with live video streaming and secure evidence management. Motorola Solutions said installation for front-line staff is planned through the end of 2026, giving the company a concrete deployment milestone in its public safety software and hardware ecosystem.
The operating picture is mixed in one important respect: second-quarter sales growth was broad enough to support the higher target, but the D-Fend purchase also adds integration and financing demands. The USD 1.50 billion acquisition therefore makes execution and cash generation material counterweights to the 13.30 percent revenue growth reported for the second quarter.
Next dates for Motorola Solutions
MarketBeat lists a quarterly dividend payment of USD 1.21 per share for October 15, 2026. Investing.com gives October 29, 2026 as the next earnings date, making the third-quarter report the next major test of the higher valuation.
