Motorola Solutions shares came under pressure as investors digested news of a sizeable Canadian acquisition that could weigh on near-term cash flow. The company’s Canadian unit agreed to acquire Bell Mobility’s land mobile radio networks services business for about C$675 million, plus customary adjustments and a deferred working-capital settlement.
The deal still needs regulatory and third-party approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter. Until there is more clarity on integration costs and potential synergies, the market may remain cautious about the impact of this transaction on Motorola Solutions’ earnings and balance sheet.
