Motorola Solutions Inc. reported first-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.18, surpassing the estimated $3.01, with revenue of $2.53 billion slightly above the $2.52 billion forecast. The company achieved record first-quarter sales, operating earnings, and cash flow, driven by strong demand in North America and new AI-powered product launches. However, Motorola Solutions forecasted a weaker second-quarter profit, projecting adjusted EPS between $3.32 and $3.37, below the $3.47 estimate, and sales of $2.733 billion versus the $2.77 billion expected. The company affirmed its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance of $14.64 to $14.74 and sales guidance of $11.41 billion, both slightly below analyst estimates. The cautious outlook for the second quarter is attributed to tariff uncertainties.

FMC expects second-quarter adjusted EPS between $0.52 and $0.68, below the $0.75 estimate, and sales between $940 million and $1.1 billion versus $1.03 billion consensus.
