Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MSI)

Unlike what People Think, MSI is not the Cell Phone maker anymore. I can't believe so many people still talk about it as being the cellphone maker and the new razr handsets. That company is MMI. That being said, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS is a public safety and enterprise mobility company that has a very upcoming enterprise division making good profits. The fact that the enterprises are realizing the need for high tech products in their warehouses, factories etc. the company is bound to expand more. I would def. recommend this company

Going long here, I think Google has a long tern strategy that could potentially add to the bottom line, althougth this hasn't been the norm for Google when buying companies, I believe mobile is where it's at and this company could be the first Google acquired profitable company.

Of large cap stocks in the Technology Sector, Motorola has the most potential upside in the next 6 months.

I guess I should say it now. I told you so. With the separation, MSI can shine without the cell phone mania that has plagued this very profitable business. What still amazes me is that analysts still talk about cell phones with respect to Motorola Solutions. Without MMI, this business will continue to grow revenues and profitability over the long run. They are the market leader in world-wide public safety communications systems, including 4G LTE. The enterprise solutions business is expanding rapidly (14% growth over Q1 2010) and retailiers have woken up to the need for high tech devices to manage their businesses. All-in-all, this was the jewel that Icahn found when he bacame the largest shareholder of Motorola stock and he is now getting the payback. Short it at your own risk, this is not a cell phone company anymore.....

As I've said before, I like people who make stuff. I especially like people who make stuff that works.

I have had consistently positive experience with Motorola products -- both end user and circuit components.

I expect this will go down a little from where it is at now thanks to the current chaos, so I'm jumping the gun a little. But I don't think Motorola is going anywhere. While the human and infrastructure scale of the disaster in Japan is huge, you would be hard pressed to find a country that's prepared for such disasters as thoroughly as Japan has, and I have faith that they will pull through -- regardless of what happens with the reactor woes -- which I truly hope will be under control soon, simply because the people there have suffered enough.

Xoom is going to tank.....bad move opening with a subscription only version at 8-hundo dollars when RIM, HP, and freakin apple have tablets coming in the next few months. Comeon guys, its like you want to become an after thought.

Droid

I didn't realize the way caps scores for mergers when i started this, ideally i'm able to close it positive.

The upcoming split will cause the sell-off of both.

They are in the middle of a spin off of there Mobile division, which will be Motorola Mobile on a share bias of 8 to 1 of MOT and then will been doing a reverse stock split of 7 to 1 to make Motorola Holdings look more valuable to investors, this will happen Jan 4th of 2011.

Holding this stock should make money considering that their Mobile division holds the wireless and set-top box rights for Qwest and Comcast and has been featured with Google's new Pad well the Droid is returning higher subscribers

STRONG HOLIDAY SALES WITH GOOGLE OS

If you didn't buy this before 12/01/2010 your a mumbler and fumbler and not an investor ! A survivor from pre-tech bubble who is making efforts to improve the board..there's a great idea. I see a dividend within 4 years..and it's based in USA ! Ship those who delayed buying to the RAVENS !!

One word - DROID!

Android is making a push on Apple, and the Droid brand name will carry some weight in a much needed P&L.

Motorola

This stock has been a dog since 2006 when it was trading over $25 to now its current price at less than $8. This of course is reasonable because revenues have been sliding from over $42 billion in 2006, down to $22 billion in 2009.

Well, with the release of the new hit “Droid” phones for Google’s Android operating system, I think Motorola is poised for a turnaround.

If you’re not familiar with these phones, take a look at them on these Youtube videos:

Trading at 14 times forward earnings estimates, this could be a good buy here if indeed these phones bring back market share back to Motorola (which I think they will). Additionally analyst censuses estimates have been creeping up for both 2010 and 2011, and I’m also expecting that trend to continue. Add in the fact this $18.5 billion market cap company is sitting on $8.2 billion in cash ($3.4 billion debt), and the enterprise valuation ratios show a more attractive investment yet.

Technically I like the stock now that it has both been trading higher and higher on each pull-back since Feb of 2010, and recently there has been another pull-back since the rally that brought the stock to recent highs up to mid-late Sept.

Numbers don't justify this price.

I'm not a huge Carl Ichan fan, but he seems to be on target with his Motorolla investment...even if he was a little early.

The Droid phones are doing well and the spin-off of its mobile-phone and set-top box units looks like a positive move.
