What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($361.69). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (64/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range ($145.49 to $361.69) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $188.20 – $495.19 · fair‑value band $145.49 – $361.69 · the $472.23 price screens above the $236.33 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 3 fiscal years are left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.
Analysis
Motorola Solutions Inc (MSI) currently trades at $472.23, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $236.33, implying the stock looks roughly 99.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $278.22 per share, and 0 of the 24 models we run sit above the $472.23 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $56.57, and 24 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Motorola Solutions Inc generated revenue of $11.9B at a net margin of 17.6%. Revenue grew 7.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 99.3%. Net debt stands at $8.6B. Fundamentals as of Sep 3, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $145.49 (bear case) to $361.69 (bull case); at $472.23, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 3% below its 52-week high and 32% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −54% fair-value upside, at −50%, MSI screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $5.28 per share, which is 2.2 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($278.22) versus Asset-Based ($9.73). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (79).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 62 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 57
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
