Moody’s upgrades Agnico Eagle’s rating to A3 on debt reduction
Investing.com - Evercore ISI raised its price target on Motorola Solutions Inc. (NYSE:MSI) to $525.00 from $500.00 on Friday, while maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock. The company, currently trading at $470.10 with a market capitalization of $78.32 billion, has seen 5 analysts revise their earnings upwards for the upcoming period, according to InvestingPro data.
The price target increase follows meetings between Evercore ISI and several Motorola Solutions executives, including CEO Greg Brown and CFO Jason Winkler, at the company’s headquarters. During these discussions, management highlighted opportunities presented by the recently completed $4.4 billion acquisition of Silvus. The company maintains strong financial health with an overall score of "GOOD" from InvestingPro, which offers comprehensive analysis through its Pro Research Report, available for over 1,400 US stocks.
Motorola Solutions completed the Silvus acquisition earlier this month, which Evercore ISI describes as a "transformative asset" that will provide the company with "a more entrenched position in the defense vertical." The firm expressed "incremental confidence" in overall end demand fundamentals and Motorola’s ability to accelerate product orders growth in the second half of the year. This confidence is supported by the company’s solid revenue growth of 6.45% over the last twelve months and its 14-year track record of consecutive dividend increases.
The research firm noted that Motorola Solutions discussed strong demand and budget conditions across public sector customers, with potential tailwinds from OBBBA. Management also outlined product innovation-led growth across all three of the company’s technology segments.
Motorola Solutions executives additionally addressed margin expansion opportunities despite tariff headwinds, as well as the company’s M&A framework during the meetings with Evercore ISI analysts.
