<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Motorola Solutions's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.73%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Motorola Solutions?

President Donald Trump on Sunday announced his intention to reconstruct and reopen Alcatraz, the infamous former prison on an island in San Francisco Bay, as a functioning maximum-security facility for &#8220;America's most ruthless<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45217098/trumps-big-beautiful-bill-takes-shape-gop-pushes-tax-cuts-border-wall-funding-and-deep-spending-reductions-ahead-of-memorial-day-deadline"> and violent offenders.&#8221;&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Trump described the move as a symbol of &#8220;Law, Order, and Justice&#8221; in a post on Truth Social and suggested the prison would be significantly expanded and modernized to accommodate the most dangerous criminals.
Read Next: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45180224/these-ev-makers-could-shine-if-musk-leaves-tesla?utm_source=articleShare">These EV Makers Could Shine If Musk Leaves Tesla&nbsp;</a>
Alcatraz operated as a federal penitentiary from 1934 to 1963 and housed notorious criminals like Al Capone and George &#8220;Machine Gun&#8221; Kelly. The prison was closed due to high operational costs, deteriorating infrastructure and logistical challenges. 
Everything, including food, fuel and water, had to be shipped by boat, making it nearly three times more expensive to run than other federal prisons. 
John Martini, an expert on Alcatraz history who served as a park ranger on the island, <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/alcatraz-trump-prison-reopen-reaction-20309745.php">told</a> the San Francisco Chronicle that it would be impossible to reopen the prison because the building is "totally inoperable," with no water or sewage, and electricity only in certain parts.
"If the discussion is to rebuild the prison building to hold people, I don't think that would be feasible," Martini said. "It would have to be torn down and rebuilt."
What's Next: Reopening Alcatraz as a federal prison would require a major federal investment, with upfront costs likely in the hundreds of millions and ongoing annual expenses far exceeding those of typical mainland prison.&nbsp;
Large-scale construction and infrastructure consultants like AECOM (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACM#NYSE">ACM</a>) and Fluor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLR#NYSE">FLR</a>) that specialize in government infrastructure and complex restoration projects would likely be essential for rebuilding Alcatraz.&nbsp;
Private prison firms including Geo Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEO#NYSE">GEO</a>) and CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CWX#NYSE">CWX</a>) could also be called upon to operate the location once restoration is complete.&nbsp;
A rebuilt Alcatraz prison would also need security, communications and surveillance solutions from providers who specialize in public safety and correctional facilities like Axon Enterprise, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>) and Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSI#NYSE">MSI</a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;
Details of the plan to reopen Alcatraz remain unclear, including proposed costs or a timeline for expanding and opening the facility. However, the Bureau of Prisons, Justice Department, FBI and Homeland Security are expected to work on the project.

Barclays analyst Tim Long maintains Motorola Solutions (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSI#NYSE">MSI</a>) with a Overweight and lowers the price target from $527 to $511.

Price Target

Barclays Maintains Overweight on Motorola Solutions, Lowers Price Target to $511

JPMorgan analyst Joseph Cardoso reiterated an Overweight rating on Motorola Solutions Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSI#NYSE">MSI</a>) with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSI/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $515</a> on Friday.
Revenue <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45150326/motorola-solutions-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tracked to $2.53 billion</a> (versus analyst estimate of $2.51 billion and consensus of $2.52 billion), increasing +6% (versus guide of ~$2.5 billion), led by modestly better than expected trends in LMR ($1.90 billion versus analyst estimate and consensus of $1.88 billion). 
In comparison, Video Security ($441 million versus analyst estimate of $442 million and consensus of $446 million) and Command Center ($186 million versus analyst estimate and consensus of $189 million) were mainly in line to slightly softer.

Meanwhile, gross margin tracked to 52.2% (versus analyst estimate of 51.2% and consensus of 50.4%), and operating margin tracked to 28.3% (versus analyst estimate of 27.3% and consensus of 27.2%), which drove an earnings beat of $3.18 (versus analyst estimate, consensus, and guide of ~$3.01)
Motorola Solutions' results tracked ahead of expectations. The company posted a solid earnings beat for the first quarter of 2025, fueled by better revenue and margin trends.
The company reiterated fiscal 2025 revenue growth of +5.5% to an implied $11.4 billion (versus analyst estimate and consensus of $11.4 billion), which includes a $40 million impact from foreign exchange headwinds. Meanwhile, gross margins guidance was comparable to 2024 gross margins of 51.5% (versus analyst estimate of 51.5% and consensus of 51.4%). 
The company also anticipates operating margin expansion relative to 2024 operating margins of 29.0% (versus analyst estimate of 29.7% and consensus of 29.8%). Earnings guidance was $14.64-$14.74 (versus analyst estimate and consensus of $14.70).
The company expects second-quarter revenue growth of +4% to an implied $2.73 billion (versus analyst estimate of $2.77 billion and consensus of $2.77 billion), while earnings of $3.32-$3.37 (versus analyst estimate of $3.50 and consensus of $3.47).
While the reiterated 2025 guidance is likely to slightly disappoint investors who were earmarking Motorola as a "refuge" in the backdrop of macro uncertainty, Cardoso noted a few positives, including a revenue outlook that appears to embed some level of conservatism. 
Specifically, management underscored prudence in the current backdrop despite seeing limited evidence of demand softening while also noting record first-quarter orders (ex-UK Home Office), including for Video and Command, as well as reaffirming its expectations for Product order growth in 2025 with a backlog now expected to exit the year in the ~$3.5 billion range.
Additionally, the outlook now embeds a tariff-related gross profit headwind of up to $100 million (~$0.40 on EPS), of which a majority is related to its Malaysia manufacturing footprint.
To that end, Cardoso tweaked his forecast for the puts and takes of the first-quarter 2025 results and guidance and found his estimates essentially unchanged as he continued to see Motorola well-positioned to drive earnings upsides even in the current challenging macro given resilient customer spending, solid product cycles and new introductions, improving mix, solid operating leverage, as well as the optionality provided by a robust balance sheet and cash flow generation.
MSI Price Action: Motorola Solutions stock closed Friday down 7.46% at $406.42.

Motorola Faces Stock Decline As Increased Tariff-Related Costs Weigh On 2025 Outlook

U.S. stocks advanced across the board by midday Friday, with the S&amp;P 500 eyeing its ninth consecutive day of gains—poised for the longest winning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">streak since May 2024.</a>
Risk appetite remained firm, underpinned by solid corporate earnings and a stronger-than-expected April jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 177,000, beating expectations of 130,000 and easing concerns over tariff-related hiring slowdowns.
All eleven S&amp;P 500 sectors traded in positive territory, led slightly by financials over technology. Major indexes have now fully recovered from the declines sparked on April 2, when President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs across trading partners.
The Nasdaq 100 climbed to levels last seen in late March, capping a strong week for tech stocks. Among the Magnificent Seven, all were on pace to close the week higher except Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), which slipped 4% as strong earnings were overshadowed by weaker sales in China.
The U.S. dollar index resumed its decline, pressured by renewed calls from President Trump for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates ahead of next week's policy meeting.
Treasury yields surged following the upbeat jobs data, with the 10-year note jumping 10 basis points to 4.31%, easing recession concerns entering the second quarter.
In commodities, oil prices fell back to $58 per barrel despite Thursday's rally on heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Gold rebounded 0.5%, set to snap a three-day losing streak, while natural gas prices jumped 4.4% to a two-week high.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 1% to $97,500, marking its fourth straight week of gains.

Editor&#8217;s Note: The article has been udpated to correct the Stock Movers list.
Wall Street pushed higher in midday trading, with the S&amp;P 500 on track for its eighth consecutive gain — its longest winning streak since November 2023. The index rose about 1% to 5,560, fully recovering the losses sustained after former President Donald Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">trade tariffs on April 2.</a>
Technology stocks led the rally, with the Nasdaq 100 climbing 1.5%. Strong and resilient corporate earnings continue to fuel investor appetite for risk, helping markets shrug off recent tariff concerns.
President Trump reassured investors, stating that progress on trade negotiations is going "very well" and that the timeline for the tax bill remains on schedule.
On the economic front, data continued to paint a weaker picture. After Wednesday's disappointing first-quarter GDP report, the ISM manufacturing PMI showed factory activity contracted for the second straight month in April. Meanwhile, price pressures surged at the fastest pace since June 2022, reflecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45139383/us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-in-april-as-tariffs-push-input-prices-toward-3-year-highs">inflationary effects from tariffs.</a>
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) was a standout gainer, soaring 8.60% after delivering a blowout quarter that beat expectations across the board, reinforcing its leadership in cloud and AI. The stock reached its highest level since late January.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also topped estimates, with shares climbing more than 4%.
Sector-wise, technology outperformed, while health care lagged. Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) plunged over 9% after the pharmaceutical giant cut its 2025 guidance.
Crude oil erased early losses, rebounding to $58 per barrel after briefly dipping below $57. Gold slipped 2.2% to a two-week low.
The U.S. dollar strengthened to its highest level in over two weeks, bolstered by manufacturing surveys showing rising input costs tied to tariffs.
Treasury yields climbed for a second straight session, with the 10-year yield rising to 4.21%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged past the $97,000 mark, hitting its highest level in over two months.

Motorola Just Launched Something That Could Change How First Responders Use AI

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
