Description
Motorola Solutions, Inc., is an American technology company that provides safety and security products and services. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the company provides critical communications, video security, and command center technologies, used by public safety agencies and enterprises. It was formed in 2011 by the division of Motorola, Inc., and is its legal successor; the former company's mobile phone division was spun off as Motorola Mobility, now part of Chinese technology company Lenovo.

The full register, from 13F filings
The Register tab above is hand research: a dozen holders, each traced to the filing it came from. This asks the same question of the whole market for the quarter ended 31-mar-2026, where 1,470 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
1,470 managers reported a position, together holding 142.0m shares, or 85.6% of the company. The 40 largest are listed. Percentages are of the 166.0m shares outstanding at 1 May 2026, the count in force when this quarter was measured rather than the count today.
Built from 13F filings, which report US listed, long, US custodied positions only. A register from this source is a floor rather than a level: a holder's true position can be far larger, as BlackRock's ASML stake shows at 1.28m shares in a 13F against 26.3m in its 13G/A. Holdings held through derivatives, outside US custody, or below a manager's reporting obligation do not appear. Where a holder is marked as a family, its total sums several separate filing entities and describes something no single filing describes; the constituent entities and their share counts are listed so the total can be checked. That roll-up can legitimately exceed the family's own Schedule 13G, because a 13G is filed by one legal entity: Vanguard reports Alphabet through ten advisory entities, and The Vanguard Group Inc itself reported zero after its January 2026 disaggregation.
What a reader needs to know to read these numbers
- Silver Lake was historically an INVESTOR IN Motorola Solutions, not the reverse. Motorola Solutions issued $1.0 billion of 1.75% senior convertible notes to Silver Lake Partners (the 'Silver Lake Convertible Debt') years ago. Per the FY2025 10-K, this debt was extinguished in 2024, recognising a $585 million loss on extinguishment; the notes are gone and Silver Lake holds no reported common-stock position in the Q2 2026 13F register data (checked, no 'SILVER' match among the 40 holders in data/registers/MSI.json). Consistent with this, the 2026 proxy states that Gregory K. Mondre (Silver Lake co-CEO and the company's Silver-Lake-linked board designee) has not been nominated for re-election and his board term expires at the 2026 annual meeting. No Silver Lake holding is recorded in either direction.
- The only individually named, currently-held equity holding disclosed in Motorola Solutions' own filings is the $100 million BRINC Drones, Inc. strategic investment made 1 Jul 2026 (private company, cost basis, no share count disclosed). It sits inside a combined 'Strategic investments, at cost' balance of $167 million at 4 Jul 2026 (up from $54 million at 31 Dec 2025); the remaining approximately $67 million of that balance is unallocated to any named investee and is not assigned to BRINC or anyone else, per the no-combined-balance-to-one-investee rule. Two further combined, unnamed balances exist in the same Investments note and are excluded from holdings for the same reason: 'Common stock' ($36 million at 4 Jul 2026, $42 million at 31 Dec 2025) and 'Equity method investments' ($8 million, flat). Neither the Q2 2026 10-Q nor the FY2025 10-K names any equity-method investee, non-marketable security holder, or joint venture partner. Search terms tried and returning zero hits in the Q2 2026 10-Q: 'non-marketable', 'unconsolidated', 'joint venture', 'convertible' (present only in the FY2025 10-K, referring to the now-extinguished Silver Lake notes).
- Register uses each manager's own Q2 2026 Form 13F-HR (period 2026-06-30), matched on CUSIP 620076307 (MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS INC / COM NEW), not on the bare name Motorola, to avoid conflating with the separate company Motorola Mobility (owned by Lenovo).
- T. Rowe Price Associates (CIK 0000080255) 13F-HR for Q2 2026 reports Motorola Solutions at 864,557 shares with a stated value of $359,043, an implied price of $0.42 a share versus every other Q2 2026 13F filer's implied price of approximately $415.28 to $415.35 a share. This is the thousands-reporting-convention defect flagged in the brief: the true value is $359,043,000 (2 lines: 607,015 sh/$252,088 thousand and 257,542 sh/$106,955 thousand). T. Rowe Price ranked below the top-12 cutoff for this register (864,557 shares) so it is not included as a row, but the defect is documented here in case it is added later. Rescaled value would be $359,043,000.
- Vanguard Group Inc (CIK 0000102909) filed 13F-NT (notice, no holdings) for the quarter ended 30 Jun 2026, consistent with the January 2026 reorganisation of Vanguard's 13F filing structure noted in this project's pnc.json and other prior research files. Per the brief, Vanguard is represented as a single substituted row summing its two identified successor filers (Vanguard Capital Management LLC and Vanguard Portfolio Management LLC).
- Capital Group is three separate SEC-registered filers under one brand, each filing its own 13F-HR (not a Vanguard-style successor/notice case). Two of the three, Capital World Investors and Capital Research Global Investors, hold Motorola Solutions; the third, Capital International Investors, filed a 13F-HR for Q2 2026 but has no row for CUSIP 620076307 or for any name fragment matching 'MOTOR' or 'SOLUTIONS' tied to that CUSIP, confirming it holds none this quarter.
- Motorola Solutions' 2026 proxy (record date 17 Mar 2026, drawing on the most recent Schedule 13G/A filings) separately reports The Vanguard Group at 22,171,722 shares (13.34%) and BlackRock, Inc. at 13,330,267 shares (8.02%). Both figures differ from the Q2 2026 13F-HR figures used in the register (Vanguard successors sum to 20,558,975 shares; BlackRock to 15,900,993 shares), consistent with position changes between the proxy's 13G-based cutoff and 30 Jun 2026 rather than a data error; the register uses the more recent, directly-verified 13F-HR figures per the brief.
- No Schedule 13D or 13G has been filed on Motorola Solutions common stock since 13 Nov 2024 (SC 13G/A), per the EDGAR filing index for CIK 0000068505, so the register leans on 13F-HR data plus the proxy's own beneficial-ownership table rather than a fresh independent 13D/G for 2026.
- Verified managers checked but ranked below the top-12 cutoff, not included as rows (all Q2 2026 13F-HR, CUSIP 620076307): Wells Fargo & Company 894,952 shares; T. Rowe Price Associates 864,557 shares (see thousands-trap note above); Franklin Resources, Inc. 859,967 shares; MFS (Massachusetts Financial Services) 57,276 shares; Wellington Management Group LLP 21,682 shares; Dodge & Cox 10,866 shares.
- Market capitalisation ($75.64 billion) and share price ($457.08) are stockanalysis.com's figures as of the 17 Aug 2026 market close. Cross-check: 165,493,788 shares x $457.08 implies approximately $75.64 billion, matching the reported market cap.
- Self-gate check (computed as the chart computes it): 12 institutional register rows plus the Gregory Q. Brown insider row count at full value (63,790,539 + 1,610,189 = 65,400,728 shares); the aggregate 'all directors and officers' group row is reduced by Brown's rolled-up 1,610,189 shares to 537,091. Total = 65,937,819 shares against 165,493,788 outstanding = 39.84%, within the expected 25 to 45 percent range. 14 register rows total.
Looked for, not found
Recorded rather than filled in. Each of these is a place where a number could have been invented and was not.
- The identity and value split of the roughly $67 million within the $167 million 'Strategic investments, at cost' balance at 4 Jul 2026 that is not the $100 million BRINC position. Looked in the Investments note of the Q2 2026 10-Q; no other investee is named.
- The holders of the combined 'Common stock' ($36 million) and 'Equity method investments' ($8 million) balances in the same Investments note. Neither the Q2 2026 10-Q nor the FY2025 10-K names any constituent.
- Whether Vanguard-affiliated 13F filers other than Vanguard Capital Management LLC and Vanguard Portfolio Management LLC (e.g. Vanguard Advisers Inc, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Co, Vanguard Global Advisers) also hold Motorola Solutions shares. Not checked individually within the time budget; if they do, the true Vanguard aggregate is somewhat higher than the 20,558,975 shares used here.
- Motorola Solutions' Q3 2026 10-Q was not yet filed as of 17 Aug 2026 (checked against the EDGAR submissions feed for CIK 0000068505), so any equity-investment activity after 4 Jul 2026, including the full BRINC transaction detail, is not reflected beyond the Q2 2026 10-Q disclosure.
- A precise share count or ownership percentage for the BRINC Drones, Inc. investment; only the $100 million cost is disclosed.
