Over the past three months, the Leisure Products industry has been one of the top growth leaders in the S&P 500 index, up 21.8%.
One of the largest (by market capitalization) companies in this industry: Motorola Solutions ($79.2B), a supplier of communications and related products to customers in more than 100 countries, and Juniper Networks ($12.9B), which specializes in the development of high-performance networks and routing and Wi-Fi services.
According to the latest quarterly reporting data, we analyzed each company’s profitability, strength, and efficiency criteria based on the methodology of Stanford University professor Joseph Piotroski.
As you can see, Motorola Solutions demonstrates stronger results in terms of fundamental data assessment. The company outperforms its competitor Juniper Networks in terms of efficiency.
Over the past 3 months, shares of Motorola Solutions have risen by +19.9%, and Juniper Networks – by +5.2% (the S&P 500 index has risen by +5.4%). Motorola Solutions outperformed its competitor and demonstrated better results compared to the index.
So, the winner in this issue is Motorola Solutions. And although Juniper Networks shares are superior in terms of liquidity, Delta Air Lines’ business is superior in terms of financing and asset turnover, and also demonstrates better profitability.
