AI Brief

Q3 FY26 earnings call · Nov 4, 2026
Q3 FY26

TL;DR. Motorola delivered 12% sales growth, expanded non-GAAP operating margin by 200 basis points, generated record orders and a $16.6 billion backlog, raised full-year revenue and EPS guidance, increased cash-flow expectations, added D-Fend and expanded its share repurchase authorization. GAAP EPS and quarterly cash flow declined, while memory costs, supply-chain volatility, trade uncertainty and a delayed Bell Canada acquisition remain risks.

Bullish
  • + Q3 sales grew 12% to $3.4 billion, with double-digit growth in both segments. new
  • + The company ended the quarter with record backlog of $16.6 billion, up 14% versus the year-ago quarter, driven by record Q3 orders. new
  • + Management raised full-year revenue and non-GAAP EPS guidance and increased full-year operating cash flow expectations.
  • + The board increased the share repurchase authorization by $2 billion. new
Bearish
  • − Quarterly operating cash flow fell to $662 million from $799 million and free cash flow fell to $589 million from $733 million. new
  • − Higher interest and taxes partially offset non-GAAP EPS growth. new
  • − The Bell Canada LMR acquisition was delayed from Q4 to Q1 or Q2 because customer and regulatory approvals remain outstanding. new
