Motorola Solutions Inc Research Report

Motorola Solutions announced it will begin trading ex-dividend on March 13, 2013 with a dividend payout of 26 cents per share to be paid on April 15 this year, the same amount paid in the previous two quarters. Shareholders who purchased the company's stock before the ex-dividend date will be eligible for the payment. Meanwhile, Zacks reiterates its "neutral" rating on Motorola Solutions' stock due to mixed Q4 results, where the bottom line met expectations though the top line failed to do so. Zacks says the company's position as a market leader in the U.S. Public Safety market and will be able to maintain its current top-line growth in the future, though its Enterprise segment remains a near-term concern due to macro-economic uncertainties in Europe.

Arris Group, Inc. Research Report

Arris Group's previously announced bid to acquire Motorola Home's cable set-top box division from Google has been put to a hold by the Department of Justice, after both parties received so-called "second requests" in relation to the department's Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust review of the deal. The decision will extend the waiting period imposed by the aforementioned antitrust act until 30 days after each company has substantially complied with the Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the companies or terminated sooner by the DOJ. The Suwanee, Georgia-based Arris agreed to buy Motorola Home for $2.35 billion in cash and stock from Google's Motorola Mobility unit. Also part of the deal is Comcast, who will buy an 8 percent stake in Arris for $150 million.
