Valuing Motorola Solutions stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Motorola Solutions's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Motorola Solutions's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 54x. In other words, Motorola Solutions shares trade at around 54x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Motorola Solutions's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.5575. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Motorola Solutions's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Motorola Solutions's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $3.2 billion.

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Motorola Solutions is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 8.4/100
Motorola Solutions's environmental score of 8.4 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Motorola Solutions is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Dividend payout ratio: 28.63% of net profits
Recently Motorola Solutions has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Motorola Solutions shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Motorola Solutions's case, that would currently equate to about $3.92 per share.
While Motorola Solutions's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Motorola Solutions may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Motorola Solutions's most recent dividend payout was on 14 October 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Motorola Solutions's shares were split on a 10000:4042 basis on 3 January 2011 . So if you had owned 4042 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Motorola Solutions shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 59.6% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Motorola Solutions shares which in turn could have impacted Motorola Solutions's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Motorola Solutions's shares have ranged in value from as little as $304.7372 up to $507.82. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Motorola Solutions's is 0.979. This would suggest that Motorola Solutions's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
