This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

Quarterhill Inc (QTRH-T) presents a challenging investment landscape, as reviewed by experts. One reviewer highlights the ownership of debentures rather than shares, indicating a focus on income derived from the 6% interest coupon, which has become the more favorable option given the company's chronic underperformance. Although there is a recognition of some slight improvement in sales momentum and the relevance of its technology in the market, the revenue remains inconsistent and chunky. Another expert notes the company's strategic pivot from technology patents to transportation sensors, which initially appeared promising. However, this shift has not translated into success, leading to considerations of alternative investment opportunities. Overall, the sentiment leans towards caution, with both reviewers indicating a preference to redeem their debentures rather than invest further in the company's equity.

BUY
Has been buying it all the way down. Betting on the management team. Working on a lot of patent infringements.
BUY
They basically sell intellectual property. Earnings are coming out next week and expected to be quite good.
BUY
Believes it still has pretty good upside. Have a patent portfolio that is estimated to be worth $40 to $50 million. Expect more deals to be signed before the end of March.
HOLD
Basically they are left with an intellectual property portfolio. Through negotiation and litigation, they are pursuing other companies that have used their patented product. If you have stomach for volatility, Hold.
TOP PICK
Have always had good technology. A lot of good patents and have successfully sued Nokia (NOK-N). Now have a bigger war chest financially as well as patents they own.
DON'T BUY
Patents not only cover wireless space but also broadband over power lines space. This is potentially a large opportunity. Signed a very high profile agreement with Nokia (NOK-N). Stock is a little ahead of itself.
BUY
Ranks #3 in his complete database. Earnings are expected to be $.67 for Oct/07. Now focusing on their patent portfolio. Very good opportunity going forward.
BUY
Low cost base and good royalties from Nokia (NOK-N). A long-term hold. Also have the ability to go after Cisco (CSCO-Q). A great long-term Hold.
PARTIAL SELL
Had a low in early 06, followed by a higher low, followed by a spike. This should have been accumulated near its low, but wouldn't buy at this point. If you own, take some money off the table.
COMMENT
A complicated story. They have technology that has a ton of patents and they are going after companies using their technology. This is the reason for the move on the stock. Experts are saying there will be more. He is not comfortable with this as he does not understand technology, so stays with things he does understand.
BUY
The company has turned around quite dramatically taking a big jump in December. Reached a plateau level where it is getting ready to break out into new territory. Has been going sideways for the bulk of December. Don't let it go back to $3.25.
BUY
A core position for him. Patents are the cleanest and most sustainable source for a competitive advantage. They have excellent patents.
BUY
Just announced a contract with Nokia (NOK-N). Had a huge move recently. Thinks growth is back in place.
BUY
Has intellectual property on Wimax and Wi-Fi. Wimax is growing like topsy. Rates 53 in his portfolio, which is roughly in the top 10%. Trading on a very big P/E multiple. Very speculative.
BUY
Ranks well in his model at 94. Owns patents on Wi-Fi and Wi-Max. There are rumours the company will be getting a substantial amount of income because of licensing of their patents. Very speculative.
