Core Viewpoint - Axon Enterprise faces increasing competition from Motorola Solutions, which has announced a $4.4 billion acquisition of Silvus Technologies, a company specializing in Mission-Critical Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) technology, potentially impacting Axon's growth and expansion plans [1][2][10]. Company Overview - Axon Enterprise's stock is currently priced at $743.63, with a P/E ratio of 192.15 and a price target of $652.73, indicating a moderate buy rating among analysts [1][7]. - The company has seen its revenues more than double from 2021 to 2024, reaching nearly $2.1 billion in total revenue for 2024 [2][5].
