RIM, Apple May Gain from Motorola Split

3/27 - "According to RBC Capital's Mike Abramsky, other smart-phone makers will see a hefty gain in market share as Motorola's for-the-moment leaderless and long-struggling handset unit is separated from the remainder of the company.
The decision is coming just as smart-phone adoption "is reaching an inflection point, offering an opportunity for RIM and Apple to gain share," said Abramsky in a research note. "RIM is positioned to take share in Motorola's key CDMA markets. Poised to launch a 3G iPhone, Apple ... is expected to continue rolling out innovations and gaining [market] share."

Filed under: Motorola (MOT), Newsletters, Stocks to Buy  "Well, it's finally happened; under mounting internal and external pressure, Motorola (NYSE: MOT) has spun off its handset business," says technology stock expert Gregg Early.
This move, he notes, developed after Carl Icahn came in, picked up about 6% of the company, and wanted to shake things up. Here's Gregg's update from his industry-leading The Real Nanontech Investor. "Motorola's handset division has been lost in the desert since the successful launch of the Razr a couple years ago. Since then, it's lost market share and has been le ...

3/26 - "...with the separation expected to occur in 2009, many questions remain unanswered, including the capital structure of the two separate entities, what will happen to the Motorola brand, and allocation of management, technical and IP resources. There is also no guarantee the spinoff will occur and it is hard to tell whether shareholders will support or try to hamper this process."
"Ultimately, we believe the Mobile Devices unit can be successful as a standalone company under new management; however, standalone or integrated the recovery will be a long and difficult process that will...

Motorola: Theory and Practice Diverge

3/26 - "In theory, such a move should not create value since slicing a pie doesn’t increase the size of it. However, the added cash flow potential of such a move through better management focus and less corporate governance fighting may serve to add a little pie filling."
"...we will go on the record as saying the split may add a little value, but not enough to make common shareholders retire. We continue to believe Motorola to be fairly valued and believe our “Hold” rating on the company is still appropriate."

3/26 - "I really don’t see the value of doing this. I’m always suspicious of the phrase “unlocking shareholder value.” The problem is, there has to be shareholder value in the first place that can be unlocked.
One of the reasons for the breakup, given by CEO Gregory Brown, was that the two separate units would benefit from increased focus from management. Why couldn’t they effectively manage both?"

The stock is up barely 1% on the news.The problems is that, even broken it pieces, Motorola is not worth more that its current market cap. The handset business is simply sinking too fast. "
"Based on Motorola's price to sales ratio, the value of the unit may be well under $10 billion. That means the two remaining units would have to have bring substantial multiples. In the current clima...

The Case for Motorola Heading Into Its Annual Meeting
MOT
-5.53%
in
166 days
For several months now, activist investor Carl Icahn has proposed a breakup of Motorola (MOT) that management continues to reject. However, after last quarter's debacle (see Q4 conference call transcript), which caused shares to plunge to a new five-year low, the belief is the mobile devices unit will either be spun off or sold outright. Another possibility is that Motorola will take on a partner, as it seems that the original plan of keeping the company as is has clearly not worked.

As a contrarian and rare-event observer, Motorola is a buy. Here’s why. Our own market psychology reading on 2008-01-24 was 19, the lowest on record. The closest was nearly 20 on 1987-10-26, more than twenty years ago. From a low of about $2.40, it hit $3.60 twice, once within three months and another within nine months. If history were to repeat itself, I would expect Motorola to hit $16.00 within similar time frames. What about the potential downside? Drawing a trend-line, you can easily see the support at just above $8.00. read more

MOT Stuck in the Mud
MOT

Over the past few months news about MOT has slipped off the radar screen, mired at a price at or below its 50-day of $18.09. What had been a saga about Carl Icahn's involvement with the company's board has been replaced by the Dow Jones saga. The news about Icahn's position in MOT helped the stock in the first part of May, but the rally was short-lived. The narrowing of the Trading Envelope in the chart below shows that there is almost no volatility in the stock, which we associate closely with interest. Motorola reported earnings 100% better than analysts' expectations, but th ...
