AI Summary

TrimMedium

MSI is in a Stage 4 decline with a clear chain of lower highs and lower lows under declining EMAs, giving a medium-term bearish tradable side. The long-term uptrend remains intact on the 3-year view, but intermediate distribution pressures dominate. Short-term price action is oscillating around the 9/21/50 EMA zone with no clear timing edge. We will trim exposure on rallies into the EMA and prior resistance areas rather than chase further breakdowns.

Bull points

  • it was a strong start to the year for videos. You mentioned 16% growth. Growth drivers in there include body-worn cameras, ALPR, our Unity platform, and of course, Alta, which is our cloud-based platform, continuing to lead the way with growth.
  • command center technology with 27% growth. That was driven in part by some tier one cities coming online for our next generation 911, which Mahesh and team have delivered. Those customers have made some pretty significant commitments to us given the roadmap that Mahesh has.
  • Our double digit product orders growth inclusive of LMR is our fourth quarter in a row of capturing that level of demand and is anchored around our expectations for growth in the second half within MCN and LMR inclusive growth to accelerate, which is much like last year.
