Razor is on Fire, Motorola Stock is not
"Is Motorola on fire? You could say that -- the most popular wireless handset in history, the RAZR, is still going strong after almost two years in the marketplace, which is an unheard-of length of time for almost any consumer electronics gadget. Even Apple updates its venerable iPod more frequently.
With over 50 million RAZRs sold to date, and with the successor products well on their way to market -- along with existing products modeled after the "slim phone" concept the RAZR made popular, Motorola seems to be on top of the world. Its shares have not moved much in the last year, which is odd, as Motorola continues to chase marketshare away from larger competitor Nokia and has a product portfolio that seems irresistible to many consumers worldwide.
As such, Motorola cracked the top-10 in terms of Chinese manufacturers in the latest figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics in China. Think of all the electronic devices made in China these days, by the thousands of companies that operate there. Being ranked #6 out of the top 500 is no small feat. But, what does this mean? It means that Motorola, its biggest volume business being in cellphones, is making a heckuva lot of units in China these days -- and customers are buying them in droves. Will the story continue? Catch the replay sometime in 2007 to find out."
Why hasn't MOT responded to the Razor's success?
