- Motorola's Growth Potential: Motorola Solutions' stock has dropped 20% from its 52-week high, yet its video security and command center businesses are experiencing double-digit annual revenue growth, indicating strong growth potential with expectations of high-single-digit sales growth in the coming years.
- Capital Allocation Mastery: Having made 30 acquisitions since 2015 while maintaining a 26% return on invested capital, Motorola demonstrates exceptional capital allocation skills that will continue to drive profit growth for the company.
- Roper's Market Resilience: Although Roper Technologies' stock has fallen 32% from its 52-week high, its sales rose 14% over the past year, and the appointment of new AI executives to tackle AI threats shows its resilience in specialized markets.
- Consistent Dividend Growth: Roper has increased its dividends for 33 consecutive years, currently yielding 0.9%, and with a new $3 billion share repurchase authorization, the company shows a strong commitment to shareholder returns.
