MSI is one of the lesser performing stocks in the Communications Equipment industry. 77% of 50 stocks in the same industry do better.
MSI is currently trading in the lower part of its 52 week range, which is not a good signal. Certainly not because the S&P500 Index is trading near new highs.

In the last month MSI has a been trading in a tight range between 403.92 and 425.08.
