Motorola Solutions stock today: MSI ends 2025 slightly lower as Wall Street shuts for New Year’s Day

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 5:22 PM ET — Market closed

  • Motorola Solutions shares last closed at $383.32, down $0.53, as markets headed into the New Year holiday.
  • U.S. stock markets were closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, with trading set to resume on Friday. Nasdaq
  • Wall Street finished 2025’s final session lower in thin holiday trading, keeping the focus on early-January data and the next earnings season. Reuters

Motorola Solutions (MSI) ended the year slightly lower, closing down $0.53, or about 0.1%, at $383.32 in the last trading session of 2025.

U.S. markets were shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving investors to digest a late-year dip without fresh trading in the stock. Nasdaq

The timing matters because year-end positioning can amplify moves when liquidity is thin, and investors are resetting risk ahead of the first full week of 2026. Exchange volume in the final session was lighter than average, Reuters reported. Reuters

Wall Street’s main indexes ended 2025’s final session lower, with the S&P 500 down 0.74%, the Dow off 0.63% and the Nasdaq down 0.76%, Reuters reported. Reuters

“I do not expect that the last few days will have so much bearing on the performance of the next year,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity. Reuters

Motorola Solutions sells communications gear and software used by public safety agencies and enterprise customers, and reports results in Products and Systems Integration and Software and Services. Motorola Solutions

In its most recent quarterly report, Motorola Solutions said third-quarter sales were $3.0 billion, up 8% from a year earlier, and ending backlog rose to a record $14.6 billion. Backlog is the value of orders on the books that have not yet been delivered. Motorola Solutions

The company also said it acquired Silvus Technologies for $4.4 billion and raised its full-year earnings outlook after the quarter. Motorola Solutions

Motorola Solutions’ board in November raised its quarterly dividend by 11% to $1.21 per share, with the next payment due on Jan. 15 to shareholders of record as of Dec. 15, the company said. Motorola Solutions

Before the next session, investors will be watching for whether risk appetite returns when U.S. markets reopen on Friday, Jan. 2, after the holiday shutdown. Nasdaq

The next macro tests in early January include the U.S. employment report for December, due Jan. 9, and the consumer price index for December, scheduled for Jan. 13, according to the Labor Department’s calendar. Bureau of Labor Statistics

Motorola Solutions has not listed a next earnings date on its investor events page, while Nasdaq’s earnings calendar currently estimates the next report around Feb. 12. Investors will also weigh the company’s prior guidance for fourth-quarter revenue growth of about 11% and adjusted earnings per share of $4.30 to $4.36, which excludes certain items.

On the technical front, the stock is about 22% below its 52-week high of $492.22 and about 7% above its 52-week low of $359.36, Nasdaq data show. Nasdaq

For Motorola Solutions, the next clear catalysts are the first full week of January trading, the early-month U.S. data slate, and then the company’s upcoming quarterly report as investors look for updates on backlog and demand trends into 2026. Motorola Solutions+1
