Fading Prospects Puts Last Vestige of Motorola Empire Up For Sale
(Bloomberg) -- The last vestige of the Motorola empire is on the block
after struggling with stagnant earnings.
Motorola Solutions Inc., the $15.6 billion maker of two-way radios and
other communications equipment, is exploring a possible sale, according
to people familiar with the matter. Buyers could include private-equity
firms or companies such as Raytheon Co., Honeywell International Inc.
and General Dynamics Corp., said one of the people, asking not to be
named because the information is confidential.
A sale could mark the final step in the dismantling of Motorola Inc.,
which was split up four years ago into Motorola Solutions and a handset
unit after a campaign by billionaire Carl Icahn. The handset business
was sold to Google Inc., which then sold pieces of it to Lenovo Group Ltd.
