Quarterhill Inc (QTRH-T) is currently experiencing challenges as reflected in the reviews from various experts. One expert notes that while the company has better sales momentum, its revenue remains inconsistent and it has historically been a chronic under-performer. The firm's pivot from technology patents to transportation sensors was initially viewed positively but has not yielded the desired results, leading to concerns about the effectiveness of this strategic shift. Despite these challenges, one expert highlights the value of the debentures, which carry a 6% interest coupon, indicating a cautious approach to investment in the company. Ultimately, there is an expectation of a potential recovery, but for now, the preference appears to be to redeem the debentures upon maturity rather than invest in the shares directly.

Valuation

Zebra, ZBRD

BUY

Excellent entry point. Intellectual property company. Able to sign a number of deals near the end of the year worth about $500 million. Will start paying cash taxes on earnings. Expect they can earn $0.45 next year. Have $1.60 per share in cash.

BUY

Earnings expected to be 45 cents, giving 13 PE. ROE 19%. Lots of mining of the patent portfolio to do. Looking at changing business so they don’t actually own the patents or pay the lawyers directly.

BUY

Prefers MSD-T. Positive on this kind of company. Recently they had a flurry of great licensing news, which has boosted it. They recently financed. Feels they over financed. Great balance sheet and great cash flow.

TOP PICK

Interesting company, very nice sweet spot. Pays a dividend, lots of cash. Excellent patent portfolio. Has a reasonable cash position. Pays a dividend. Should be doing $110-$120 Million in top line growth which would translate into 50-60 cents / share in earnings.

BUY

Chart is very positive. It is reaching a pausing point here. People are anticipating some news and will get out if they don’t see it soon. $6 could be a good buying opportunity. There is no upside target. It could take off quite a bit, depending on news.

BUY

Likes what they’ve done. They clearly own the patents and you are starting to see companies like Broadcom (BRCM-Q) and Atheros (ATHR-Q) hall into play. As this happens, it gives the other companies an incentive to fold too. A perpetual annuity of cash flow coming in. Sitting on $100 million in cash. One caveat, they issue a lot of stock.

COMMENT

Owner of intellectual property that companies pay a fee for using. Suing non-payers. Very successful so expects it to go higher. Huge volatility so would hedge his bet by owning this as well as the similar company Mosaid (MSD-T).

DON'T BUY

It is an intellectual patent company. They would settle with companies to get royalties. Value of company depends on kinds of licensing agreements and lawsuits they can win.

BUY

Just signed a deal with LG Electronics over their wireless patent. Trial is going on in Jan and there could be a catalyst coming up in the next couple of weeks. Very strong patents.

BUY

Have a large series of lawsuits going on and it is expected that some negotiations are going on and will be settled before the trial date in early January. Did a financing to bulk up the balance sheet and now have over $100 million as a war chest. Analysts are suggesting a $400-$600 million over a 5 to 10 year period.

TOP PICK

There are few choices in the tech space in Canada. 92 Million in cash and 95 companies signed licensing deals with them. Pays 1% dividend. They are suing everyone. Based on patents and people have licensed them already. It’s just a matter of time until one of the big ones falls into them.

HOLD

Very nice looking chart. It broke out of an upward trend. It could drop back to $4. It has a lot of volume. It has to have some exhaustion and then watch it. There is resistance about the $5 level.

BUY

Owns intellectual property rights and charges a fee. Looks like the build-up of royalty fees is becoming quite strong.

TOP PICK

Licensing company for wireless such as RIM (RIM-T), Nokia (NOK-N), etc. Recent Markman hearing with Apple (AAPL-Q), Dell (DELL-Q), HP (HPQ-N) and a few others that was mandated that a mediation was to take place and finished by Oct 20.

TOP PICK

Intellectual property patenting licensing technology company. Over 545 patents across CDMA, WiFi, Bluetooth and V-chip. About 25% of revenues come from V-chip. 3 pending litigations with one of the larger ones with 16 companies on CDMA and WiFi, etc. Can see this as a dividend growth story over time. No debt and $100 million in cash and a yield of .05%.
