Motorola
The phone rings. Your pager vibrates off the bed stand. Your PowerPC boots up for the day. Your boss calls you on your cell phone claiming that you?re late. The supercomputers that operate the streetlights in your neighborhood continue to keep your streets safe. If not for Motorola, none of these everyday occurrences would be possible.
Motorola, Inc. is headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois with other offices throughout Illinois and the US, plus offices in China, Japan and throughout Europe. Motorola?s Semiconductor?s Products Sector designs, produces and distributes a broad line of discrete semiconductors and integrated circuits, including microprocessors, RF devices, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, memories, logic and analog circuits, and sensors.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION-SEE APPENDIX 1
GRAPHS-SEE APPENDIX 2-5
APPENDIX 2- this graph shows that most of Motorola, Inc.?s sales are done in the US, with Europe a distant second. This is rational due to the well being of the US economy compared to foreign economies.
APPENDIX 3- this graph shows that the net sales for Motorola, Inc. have increased steadily over the past three years. This is due in part to the increase of products made available by Motorola and the increase in demand for increasingly inexpensive products.
APPENDIX 4- this graph shows earnings before income taxes. Seen next to Appendix 3, this graph seems unreasonable, however, research and development costs have increased, plus their more expensive processors? sales have decreased due to the instability of Apple, while their inexpensive cellular devices have increased. Motorola did sell more, but they also spent more than in the past two years.
Motorola, Inc. appears to be doing quite will for the 1997 fiscal year compared to their 1996 year. After the poor year in ?96, they cut programs that weren?t living up to expectations and have recently joined in several joint-venture projects including the IRIDUIM? satellite communications system. Prior to ?96, Motorola?s value was climbing steadily, but several new programs failed and their joint venture with Apple to create PowerPC Mac?s tumbled, taking their value down in ?96. Motorola is constantly producing new communications devices including, but not limited to, phones, Internet accessories, satellites, handheld computers and software that will continue to drive their value up.
As an investor, I would invest in Motorola. They are not a brilliant stock that would rise suddenly, but they are a safe, long-term investment that will prove profitable over time. The need for the devices that primarily Motorola provides will not decrease, but will instead increase with the increase of population and space colonization, thus forcing their value up slowly over time. Motorola, Inc. is a business looking towards the future.
