MSI CEO Gregory Q Brown sold 28,435 shares for $13,590,407.28 in 4 separate transactions, reducing holdings by 23.9% to 90,720 shares.

Gregory Q Brown, Chairman and CEO of Motorola Solutions, executed 4 separate sales on 2026-03-04 totaling 28,435 shares for $13,590,407.28 at prices ranging from $476.28 to $478.83, with a blended average of $477.95. This represents a reduction of 23.9% from his pre-transaction holdings of 119,155 shares. The CEO has been actively selling at MSI over the past week, with 5 prior sales between 2026-02-25 and 2026-02-26, suggesting a pattern of consistent position reduction during a period when the stock is up 10.7% over 30 days and 23.1% over 90 days. The current price of $460.76 is now 6.0% below the 52-week high, placing these transactions near recent peak valuations. As the top executive of a $76.3B market-cap company with solid fundamentals (8.0% annual revenue growth, $562.0M net income), the scale and timing of this substantial position reduction merit monitoring for potential implications regarding near-term management outlook.

MSI CFO WINKLER sold 8,818 shares at blended $478.23; holds 21,153 post-sale. -29.4% position reduction.

WINKLER JASON J, EVP and CFO, executed 2 separate sales totaling 8,818 shares for $4,217,392.08 on 2026-02-27 at a blended average price of $478.23, reducing his holdings by 29.4%. His same-ticker history at MSI shows a mixed pattern: 2 of 5 prior sales at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark (with negative post-sale returns), while the most recent pair of sales in August 2025 posted +4.2% and +4.0% 30-day returns but declined -16.3% and -16.4% over 90 days—suggesting delayed negative momentum. The current stock price of $480.22 sits 2.1% below the 52-week high of $490.30, and the stock has risen 19.3% over 30 days and 27.8% over 90 days, indicating strong recent performance. With fundamentals showing 8.0% annual revenue growth, a P/E of 29.53, and $562.0M net income on $3.0B quarterly revenue, the company remains solidly profitable, though the elevated valuation warrants observation of whether the insider's partial liquidation reflects a rebalancing decision or a view on price levels.

SVP Cynthia Yazdi sold 7,260 MSI shares at $479.30 (total $3.5M); post-sale holdings reduced 43.2%; prior MSI sells all well-timed at 90-day mark.

Cynthia Yazdi, SVP and Chief of Staff to the CEO, sold 7,260 shares at $479.30 on 2026-02-27, reducing her holdings from 16,788 to 9,528 shares. This represents a substantial 43.2% reduction in position size. Notably, this sale follows an identical transaction one day prior (2026-02-26), suggesting either a multi-day execution or phased liquidation. Yazdi's transaction history at MSI is striking: all 4 prior measurable sales at this ticker posted negative 90-day returns (-16.0%, -16.0%, -16.0%, -15.0%), meaning each preceded a stock decline—a pattern of well-timed exits. Her cross-ticker track record shows a 30.77% well-timed rate across 14 prior sales, though with modest average returns (30d +4.7%, 90d +0.6%), suggesting selective timing skill. The stock is currently at $480.22, near its 52-week high of $490.30 and up 19.3% over 30 days, creating a temporal signal: she is liquidating a large block at peak momentum levels, consistent with her prior pattern of selling into strength before subsequent weakness.

EVP/CTO Saptharishi Mahesh sold 2,200 shares of MSI at $471.54 (-6.4% of holdings)

Saptharishi Mahesh, EVP and CTO of Motorola Solutions, sold 2,200 shares on 2026-02-25 at $471.54, reducing his stake from 34,536 to 32,336 shares. The sale of 2,200 shares represents a -6.4% reduction in his pre-transaction holdings, with the transaction valued at $1,037,388.00. The stock has appreciated significantly in recent months (+30.4% over 90 days, +19.0% over 30 days) and currently trades at $482.26, near its 52-week high of $490.30. MSI is trading at a P/E of 29.66 with strong fundamentals: $3.0B quarterly revenue and $562.0M net income, supported by +8.0% annual revenue growth. The transaction represents a modest reduction in an otherwise substantial executive position, consistent with routine portfolio adjustments by company leadership.

CEO Gregory Q Brown sold 21,600 shares at blended $469.54 on 2026-02-25/26 for $10.1M; reduces holdings 62.0% from 34,846 to 13,246 shares

Gregory Q Brown, Chairman and CEO of Motorola Solutions, executed 20 separate sales totaling 21,600 shares for $10,141,979.65 over two days, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 13,246 shares—a 62.0% net reduction from his pre-transaction position of 34,846 shares. The stock was at $482.26 current price when the Form 4 was filed, and the blended transaction price of $469.54 reflects execution across multiple price points clustered tightly around $470. The transaction occurs as the stock sits -1.6% from its 52-week high of $490.30 and has appreciated 30.4% over the trailing 90 days. Given the scale of the sale relative to total holdings, the timing near the 52-week high, and the company's elevated valuation (P/E of 29.66 with $79.9B market cap), the filing merits scrutiny to distinguish between scheduled programmatic activity versus discretionary decision-making; current publicly available data does not indicate whether this reflects a 10b5-1 trading plan.

SVP Cynthia Yazdi sold 7,000 MSI shares ($3.3M) at $471.01; holds 9,528 post-sale as stock near 52-week high.

Cynthia Yazdi, SVP Chief of Staff to the Chairman & CEO, executed a substantial open-market sale of 7,000 shares (42.4% reduction in her MSI position) at $471.01 on 2026-02-26, reducing her holdings from 16,528 to 9,528 shares. The sale occurred when MSI was trading near its 52-week high of $490.30 (only -1.6% below peak), and the stock has gained 19.0% over 30 days and 30.4% over 90 days. Her same-ticker history at MSI shows 4 of 4 prior measurable sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark (each followed by -15.0% to -16.0% declines), establishing a pattern of exits ahead of pullbacks. This concentrated sale at an elevated valuation, combined with her demonstrated track record of selling before subsequent weakness at this specific ticker, merits investor attention as a potential signal ahead of a potential period of more modest returns.

CEO Brown Gregory Q sold 21,600 shares for $10.1M across 19 transactions on 2026-02-25, reducing holdings 50%

On 2026-02-25, BROWN GREGORY Q (Chairman and CEO) executed 19 separate sales totaling 21,600 shares for $10,141,940.07, reducing his position from 43,180 shares to 21,580 shares—a 50% reduction in holdings. The blended average transaction price of $469.53 is 2.6% below the current price of $482.26 and very close to the 52-week low of $363.83–$490.30 range mid-point, occurring as the stock is at -1.6% from its 52-week high and up 19.0% over 30 days and 30.4% over 90 days. The magnitude of this liquidation (halving the CEO's stake) during strong price momentum merits close attention, particularly given the absence of timing patterns in his prior same-ticker trade outcomes, which remain non-measurable.

MSI Chair/CEO Brown sold 100.0K shares in 18 transactions for $46.7M at $466.56 avg, reducing stake 68.0% to 47.2K shares

This represents a 68.0% reduction in his holdings from 147,166 shares to 47,166 shares. The magnitude and multi-day execution pattern suggest a systematic disposition of a substantial equity block rather than an opportunistic trim, occurring as the stock trades near its 52-week high of $490.30 and reflects a 27.6% appreciation over the prior 90 days. Given his position as Chair and CEO, the sustained scale of this divestiture is a material signal that warrants investor attention to underlying company trends and Brown's own capital allocation priorities.

The sales occurred at prices ranging from $481.40 to $487.71, with a blended average of $483.50, notably above the current price of $476.84. This large-scale divestiture by the company's top executive comes as MSI trades 5.5% below its 52-week high of $504.60, despite strong recent momentum (+17.8% over 90 days) and solid fundamentals including 8.4% annual revenue growth, net income of $513.0M, and a P/E of 37.55. The magnitude and timing of this concentrated sale merit careful review of the company's forward guidance and any material developments not yet disclosed.

Gregory Q. Brown, Chairman and CEO of Motorola Solutions, executed 10 separate sales totaling 50,000 shares for $24,280,398.31 across September 10–11, 2025, reducing his holdings from 96,936 to 46,936 shares. The blended average transaction price was $485.61, near the current price of $481.71 and -4.5% from the 52-week high of $504.60. The timing follows a period of strong stock performance: 30-day change +2.4%, 90-day change +18.0%. At a $80.3B market cap and $513.0M latest quarterly net income, MSI remains a large-cap enterprise software firm posting 8.4% annual revenue growth. The magnitude of the sale—representing a 51.6% reduction in the CEO's holdings—is material and warrants investor attention to understand motivations (estate planning, portfolio diversification, or other personal factors), particularly given the absence of any contemporaneous company announcements or material adverse developments that would typically accompany such a large liquidation by top management.
