Thursday, May 23, 7:31 AM Motorola Solutions (MSI) is maintained a Neutral at MKM Partners despite upbeat management comments at an analyst meeting yesterday. MKM sees the potential for more guidance cuts this year, noting the company maintained H2 forecasts despite missing its Q1 target and cutting its Q2 outlook. MKM notes more significant news from the meeting: The implementation of a holding-company structure for overseas units that should lower the 2013 effective tax rate to 10-15% from 32-33%. Comment! [Tech]
Tuesday, May 7, 7:02 PM Though Ruckus (RKUS -26.2%) claims its Q1 miss and soft guidance aren't tied to competition, "it is difficult to reconcile the implied disparity between Ruckus’ growth and that of the overall [carrier] Wi-Fi market," says Lazard, discussing its downgrade to Neutral. However, other companies, such as F5 and Fortinet, have also reported soft carrier demand for discretionary projects. Meanwhile, Raymond James thinks Ruckus and Aruba's (ARUN -22.8% - previous) warnings, along with Motorola Solutions' (MSI) guidance, suggests enterprise Wi-Fi growth is slowing. Market leader Cisco (CSCO -2%), whose Wi-Fi unit posted 27% Y/Y growth last quarter, reports on May 15. 2 Comments [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
Tuesday, May 7, 3:58 PM Motorola Solutions (MSI) declares $0.26/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 1.83%. For shareholders of record June 14. Payable July 15. Ex-div date June 12. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Wednesday, April 24, 10:12 AM A Q1 miss and soft guidance lead Motorola Solutions (MSI -9.3%) to dive. The enterprise/government networking hardware provider expects Q2 revenue to be flat to down 2% Y/Y and EPS to come in at $0.66-$0.71, below a consensus of 4.6% growth and $0.86. Moreover, MSI now forecasts full-year revenue growth of 3%-4%, below a 5.3% consensus. Government sales rose 3% Y/Y in Q1 (down from +10% in Q4), while enterprise sales fell 4%, and would've dropped 12% if not for the acquisition of handheld computer vendor Psion (-3% in Q4 inc. Psion, -12% otherwise). Gross margin fell 130 bps Y/Y to 48.4%. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 24, 7:06 AM Motorola Solutions (MSI): Q1 EPS of $0.66 misses by $0.01. Revenue of $1.97B (+1% Y/Y) misses by $0.08B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Tech]

Tuesday, February 26, 6:08 AM Low interest rates may be hurting corporate pension funds, but companies continue to exploit the opportunity to issue debt on the cheap, with eight yesterday selling $9.9B in bonds.

Thursday, February 14, 2:37 PM Tiger Global still owned nearly 10% of Groupon (GRPN - previous) at the end of Q4, the money manager discloses in its latest 13F. However, Tiger liquidated its sizable positions in LinkedIn (LNKD - 2M shares), Facebook (FB -11.8M shares), and Google (GOOG - 698K shares).

The addition of Brown, who headed Motorola prior to its breakup, increases the size of Cisco's board to 14. He arrives shortly after the retirement of Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang, and the addition of Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff and former DOE Under Secretary Kristina Johnson. (PR) 1 Comment [Tech]

Monday, November 12, 2012, 5:40 AM Cisco (CSCO), Netgear (NTGR) and Motorola Solutions (MSI) formulate a new strategy in their battle with patent trolls by accusing them of racketeering. One of the trolls, Innovatio, has attempted to collect royalty payments from the users of the tech companies' networking gear, such as coffee chains, rather than the manufacturers, and has sent 8,000 "threatening" letters. That, says Cisco, breaks the law. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
Friday, October 26, 2012, 4:06 PM Motorola Solutions (MSI +3.2%) closes higher after reaching a deal with activist investor ValueAct Capital. ValueAct partner Bradley Singer has been added to Motorola's board, and so has ConEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore. In return, ValueAct has promised to keep its stake in Motorola in a range between 7.5%-12.5% until the company's 2014 shareholder meeting, and not to wage a proxy fight. (Q3 results) Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
