RESEARCH ALERT - Motorola <MOT.N> kept strong buy


CHICAGO, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Gruntal & Co. LLC analyst Mona Eraiba on Wednesday repeated her strong buy rating on telecommunications and semi-conductor maker Motorola Inc., citing an upbeat meeting with analysts held on Tuesday.

"The company is moving to a growth phase with tremendous potential driven by powerful digital wireless demand worldwide, convergence of technology in wireless and wireline, in addition to a beginning of a new cycle in semiconductors," Eraiba wrote in a research note.

Eraiba maintained her earnings per share estimates of $2.25 for 1999 and $3.60 for 2000 and repeated a strong buy rating on Schaumburg, Ill.-based Motorola.

The analyst also said she expected fallout from Motorola's investment in satellite phone maker Iridium LLC <IRID.O> to be "...at worst, neutral to operations."

"Motorola is well-positioned with strong renewed product line, new philosophy, and a lean cost structure," the analyst wrote.

Shares of Motorola were up 1/2 at 91-1/4.
