Description: MSI Motorola Solutions December 02, 2025

Motorola Solutions (NYSE:MSI) delivers public-safety and enterprise-security products and services across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and other international markets. The firm operates two primary segments: Products & Systems Integration, which supplies land-mobile-radio hardware, video-surveillance cameras, access-control devices, network-core software, and system-integration services; and Software & Services, which provides command-center platforms, unified-communications applications, video-analytics software, maintenance contracts, and cybersecurity solutions.

The company’s customer base spans a wide range of mission-critical sectors, including government agencies, police and fire departments, transportation hubs, utilities, hospitals, and large-scale commercial enterprises such as hospitality, manufacturing, and oil & gas. Revenue is heavily weighted toward recurring contracts-approximately 70 % of FY 2023 sales were subscription-based or service-related-reflecting a strategic shift toward higher-margin, predictable cash flows.

Key drivers for MSI include robust public-safety spending (U.S. federal and state budgets for first-responder equipment grew ~4 % YoY in 2023), accelerating adoption of private-network 5G solutions for mission-critical communications, and the company’s expanding software-as-a-service portfolio, which delivered a 12 % year-over-year increase in subscription revenue. FY 2023 total revenue reached $9.2 billion with an operating margin of roughly 15 %, underscoring the profitability of its recurring-revenue model.
