Did MSI Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results

Motorola Solutions capped a record-setting year with a strong fourth quarter, posting non-GAAP EPS of $4.59 against a consensus estimate of $4.35 — a 5.52% beat — while revenue climbed 12.3% year-over-year to $3.38 billion, edging past the $3.34 billion Wall Street expected. The standout driver was broad-based segment strength: Products and Systems Integration grew 11% to $2.16 billion on Mission Critical Networks demand, while the faster-growing Software and Services segment rose 15% to $1.22 billion, pushing non-GAAP operating margins to 32.1% from 30.4% a year earlier. The company closed 2025 with a record backlog of $15.70 billion, underpinned by notable contract wins including a $201 million P25 services renewal in Maryland and a $162 million federal device order, signaling durable demand from public safety customers. Shareholders also received a continued $1.21 quarterly dividend, reflecting confidence in the company's cash generation. Looking ahead, Motorola guided for full-year 2026 revenue of approximately $12.70 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $16.70 to $16.85, with Q1 2026 revenue growth of 6-7% expected.

Key Takeaways
