Motorola Solutions (NYSE:MSI) had a relatively good 2017, with revenues and adjusted profits expanding, driven by higher land mobile radio and services sales, as well as lower operating costs. We expect the company’s growth to continue in 2018, driven by a rising services backlog, higher sales of LMR products in the U.S. and overseas and the planned acquisition of security camera maker Avigilon (deal is expected to close in Q2). Motorola’s total backlog stood at $9.6 billion at the end of 2017, up from $8.9 billion a year ago. Its Services backlog grew by $600 million over the year to to $7.7 billion. However, we expect gross margins to see some pressure, as a growing mix of new products and a higher proportion of services revenues could be less lucrative relative to the U.S. LMR business.
