The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- MSI closes above its 50-day average ($466.79), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($441.03): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $496.99, MSI is within 1% of its 1-year high of $499.00, set on October 30, 2026; it is 38.3% above its 1-year low of $359.36 (December 16, 2025).
- Over the past month MSI rose 8.9%, from $456.28 to $496.99.
- MSI trades at 40.7x its last twelve months of earnings and 26.6x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 53.0% higher.
- Its P/E is 56.6% above the 26.0x median of the 3 other communication equipment companies we track (CSCO, HPE, ZBRA).
- MSI's 30-day volatility, 15.2% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.0%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.87: over five years of monthly returns, MSI moved about 0.87% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 2.0x MSI's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $466.79 (−6.1% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $441.03 (−11.3%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $499.00 (+0.4%) would be a new 1-year high; below $359.36 (−27.7%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for MSI, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under communication equipment among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
