On January 5, Piper Sandler analyst James Fish upgraded his rating on Motorola Solutions (NYSE:MSI) from Neutral to Overweight. However, the analyst lowered the stock price target from $465 to $443.

Fish attributed his unchanged thesis to Motorola’s leadership in LMR, noting an ongoing renaissance across public safety and major events in major geographies. The analyst acknowledged an AI-driven momentum in Video Safety, which has led to strong capital allocation by the company. Bookings growth has resumed amid an increased significance of drone security management, which has improved the demand backlog.
