Motorola Solutions' (MSI) acquisition of privately held WatchGuard, a direct competitor to Axon Enterprise (AAXN), accelerates the companies' "collision course" trajectory in public safety, said Northcoast analyst Keith Housum. He believes Motorola Solutions needed to make this acquisition as its existing body worn camera products failed to gain traction, in part because it did not have a viable in-car video solution. In the next year or two, he believes the Motorola/WatchGuard combination is "a relative non-event" as he expects Axon to continue taking share. In the long-term, the combination will make for a better competitor, but Housum sees Motorola having a significant challenge in displacing the entrenched incumbent Axon. He keeps Buy ratings on both stocks.
