TAKEAWAYS:
Motorola Solutions is slated to release its Q4 and full-year 2019 results on February 6, 2020. For FY 2019, Trefis estimates that the company will report:
Revenues would increase by 7.4% to $7.88 billion driven by strong growth across the products and services segments. However, our estimate is slightly lower than the consensus estimate of $7.9 billion.EPS figure would increase to $7.70 driven by higher sales and gross margin, and lower shares outstanding. However, the net income margin is likely to contract by 60 basis points, reflecting higher total expenses. Additionally, our EPS estimate is lower than the consensus EPS estimate of $7.81.Since the expected results are roughly similar to the consensus estimates. it is unlikely to have any material impact on Motorola's stock price once earnings are announced. In fact, our forecast indicates that Motorola's valuation is $171 a share, which is similar to the current market price of $168.
