Transaction follows strong quarter
The insider filing comes shortly after Motorola Solutions reported third-quarter results on November 4. The company said revenue rose 12% year over year to 3.4 billion US dollars, while non-GAAP earnings reached 4.69 US dollars per share. Record third-quarter orders lifted ending backlog to 16.6 billion US dollars.
Management raised its 2026 outlook with revenue now expected at 13.050 billion US dollars and non-GAAP earnings projected between 17.94 and 17.99 US dollars per share. The company also lifted its full-year operating cash flow expectation to 3.050 billion US dollars. Those figures provide the operating backdrop for investors assessing the significance of executive share sales.
