Consumer spending is still very modest with a focus on debt reduction and improved emergency savings. Banks are not lending as vigorously to small business and individuals as in the past; continue strict lending policies. Want to borrow $100,000, have the same on deposit.

Some of the worst management in the history of the company. Not only are they inept in their execution, but they suffer from a serious lack of product imagination. Icahn should have won his proxy battle. Maybe then the current management team would have been tossed out and replaced with managers tuned to building stockholder value.

This company cannot seem to get it together. They are always behind the competition and with the present management tea m I don't see any kind of a turnaround for MOT

They are done like dinner. RAZR is no longer popular. They need to establish another product that is popular or else the iPhone and Blackberry are going to drive them into the ground. I wouldn't say they have a good chance of going out of business but they are going to suffer in the next couple of months.

This was the first stock I ever bought. MOT of the 50s, 60s and 70s was a wonderful company. Philip Fisher loved the company and the management. Unfortunately like Mr. Fisher they are gone and this company has been in a death spiral for over a decade. How many divisions and employees do they have left? They've been selling off and laying off since before the tech bubble. I no longer follow this company and can't imagine getting bullish about it unless there has been some wonderful change in management, which has been changing about every 2 years for the last 12, they were all suppose to be wonderful. Good luck.

This is a company that has been on a downhill slide since the early 90's (about the time Bob Galvin began to reduce his involvement). In 1990 they were a powerhouse in both semiconductors and cell phones. The combination should have made them enormously successful in the 90's and early 00's, but they have underperformed routinely.
By 2000, Chris Galvin (Bob's mentally challenged son) had institutionalized style over substance. He installed a corporate-wide employee evaluation criteria that placed emphasis on agreeing with management. The evaluation consisted of only 1 (out of 17) criteria based on performance. This kind of environment purged many talented people from the company, encouraged those who stayed to only provide positive feedback to management, and eliminated the chance that useful information about problems would be acted on until it was too late. The results have been devastating.
Now, the company struggles to try to make changes required to be competitive.
