Motorola Solutions Inc. (US6200763075) stock held near $483.98 on August 28, 2026, after Evercore ISI raised its target to $550 from $525, while the company carried a market cap of $80.52 billion.
The share price was down 0.53% from the previous close of $486.54, and the 52-week range of $359.36 to $493.57 leaves the stock close to the top of that band. That setup matters because the move sits inside a valuation rerating already reflected in the quote.
Analyst support
Evercore's target increase came after a quarter in which Motorola Solutions reported Q1 CY2026 revenue of $2.71 billion, up 7.4% year over year, and adjusted EPS of $3.37, which was 3.8% above consensus.
Those figures still frame the stock narrative because the company also set full-year revenue guidance at $12.8 billion and adjusted EPS guidance at $16.93 in Q1 CY2026, both key markers for how much of the 2026 story may already be priced in.
Balance sheet and trend
Motorola Solutions had $886 million of cash and $9.46 billion of debt in the latest quarter, with net debt at 2.2 times EBITDA and annual interest expense of $251 million. The market has also marked the shares down 26.26% year to date, even though the stock was still up 2.44% over one year in the quote snapshot.
That combination points to a stock that is being judged on earnings durability, not just on the latest quote. The next test is whether margin pressure from the most recent quarter can coexist with continued revenue growth and a premium multiple.
Public safety software
Motorola Solutions sells mission-critical communications, video security, and command center software for public safety agencies and enterprise customers. Its software and services segment remains central to the investment case because it ties recurring revenue to radios, video, and workflow tools used in emergency operations.
Price level
As of August 28, 2026, the shares were priced at $483.98 in New York trading.
