Quarterhill Inc. (QTRH-T) has been experiencing a challenging phase, particularly in its technology business, which is seen as a chronic underperformer despite being in an attractive market segment. The company's shift from focusing on technology patents to transportation sensors had appeared promising but hasn't yielded positive results as anticipated. Reports indicate some slight improvement in sales momentum, although the revenue remains inconsistent and 'chunky.' Experts suggest a cautious approach, as holding the debentures offers a secure income with a 6% interest coupon, although there is skepticism about the future performance of the stock given its historical struggles. Overall, while there is a possibility of improvement, many investors seem inclined to redeem their debentures upon maturity rather than engage with the equity market for the time being.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 31/11. Down 35.22%.) Ranks well in his model but earnings in the near-term are declining. Offers great value, but is one that he is looking for an improvement in the stock price. He guesses that 2013 should be a great year for traction. On his watch list.

COMMENT

This is the time of year when he cleans up his portfolio and he is looking at new names and this is one of the ones that he likes. No less than a Hold and probably a Buy.

WATCH

Had an excellent rise but the major trend line was broken in mid-2011. Broke another trend line when the stock declined. It is now at a point where there is a potential for the stock to start moving up again. It is still below the 200 day moving average.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 31/05. Down 25.96%.) Sold the stock buyer to its pullback but have recently repurchased it. Recently had a favourable court ruling on one of their patents. Also have a huge whack of TV digital patents.

COMMENT

Fundamentally it continues to perform well. Has been looking at this one and will be buying if his analysis continues to prove out. $5 is close to an entry point.

WEAK BUY

Finds this one very difficult to value. The PE is based on them possibly settling a bunch of patent lawsuits. You don't know the timing and it is not predictable. In the $5 range it is probably fine.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 9/11. Down 6.87%.) This name has been under the radar because of no news flow or catalyst. Any news flow coming out now will be positive.

DON'T BUY

Chart shows a big downtrend from the middle of 2011. Has good support right around $5 with resistance at around $6. There are better names to look at.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Sold his holdings at higher levels. He would be inclined to be a little patient and look for a lower entry point. Tends to be very lumpy in terms of news. They either have very good news, or not much news.

COMMENT

Very fine company. You will probably need some patience. You are now waiting for fundamentals to give you good results. Very sharp company. Very news driven which could give you a sharp upturn.

BUY

Had an unsuccessful bid for Mosaid last year. Feels it has been in the penalty box since then. There has recently been some insider buying. Quite inexpensive. Looks like it is breaking its more recent downtrend.

DON'T BUY

Not fussy about companies that make their living by litigation. The short term on this is not too exciting. It has traded below the 200.

TOP PICK

Stock has really come off in the last few months. Very sound balance sheet with about $1.60 per share in cash. They've got $.50-$.60 in earnings. Stock, excluding the cash, is trading at 6-8 times earnings. You get about 1.8% yield and they may raise the dividend in Q1 as they have a lot of cash as well as a lot of cash flow. Have been buying back shares. There could be some near-term settlements.

BUY

Suffering from the after effects of their attempt to acquire Mosaid (MSD-T). Very aggressive in the patents business. Should be a good buy at this level. Just announced an addition of 1400 patents.
