- 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

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 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
