Quarterhill Inc (QTRH-T) is experiencing challenges in its technological sector despite having a pivot towards transportation sensors. Experts highlight that while the company has some sales momentum, the revenue remains inconsistent and is described as 'chunky.' The chronic underperformance continues to be a concern for investors. One reviewer prefers owning the debentures issued in 2021 for the income they provide, citing a 6% interest coupon and indicating a preference to redeem them upon maturity due to uncertainties surrounding the stock's performance and the hope of recovering their investment. The strategic pivot appears promising on paper, but it hasn't yielded the expected results thus far, leading some experts to consider other investment options.

Valuation

Genoa, GNE

HOLD

Last Friday they announced an $85 million settlement with Apple over litigation. It was estimated to held the balance sheet by $0.70 per share. He thinks the stock should still be 10% higher. They have other patents in-house they should be able to monetize in the future.

COMMENT

They are still sitting on a lot of cash. They are still in a patent litigation. It has not done a whole lot and last year it finally went up. Legal fees were a big drag on this company and they have reduced this. It is not a bad name but it is not that great.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 24/18, Up 39%) He liked the CEO, but they are replacing him. The case with Apple goes to trial in January. They have a guaranteed $10 million win, but could be as high as $100 million. A clean balance sheet. Yield 5%

WAIT

The chart is constructive with higher highs and higher lows. He needs to see a break through resistance just below $2.

BUY

He owns it and likes the 3% dividend. What has changed is the new CEO that he liked that quickly got shown the door. This is on his buy list and they will win a minimum of $10 million in a lawsuit against Apple. Yield 3%

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 02/18, Up 4%) Moved into the internet of things. It's a top pick again this time around.

TOP PICK

Lost 6 million dollars this past quarter, but the earn out is positive. Looks bad, because they had to pay $10M. The CEO comes from OpenText, and they are looking to make acquisitions. A conservative management team. In court with Apple, and they won. They could win up to $110M. The decision will come out in January. (Analysts’ price target is $4.84)

DON'T BUY

New management has changed the direction of the company. Payout ratio is too high to likely sustain the dividend. Not a stock he owns. Yield 5%

BUY

He owns this. They have expanded their patent litigation business. They are currently involved in a case against Apple. They won the first round for $145 million, but are on hold for the next stage. They have virtually no debt, but very lumpy earnings. It is still on his buy list. Yield 3.5%

SHORT

He has not been following it recently. They were involved in 4G technology in the past. He actually has a small short position.

COMMENT

They won a lawsuit against Apple for $145 for the first judgement, then won only $10 for the second judgement, then the judge told them to work it out. They have the lumpiest revenues he's ever seen. They keep doing patent deals, like one this week. Likes the CEO who did lots of takeovers when he ran Open Text. QTRH has no debt and has done a few takeovers. Not successful in creating recurring revenues, but he likes the dividend. Lots of upside here. A good settlement with Apple will really help.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 16/18, Down 41%) They won a $145 million lawsuit against Apple, but the judge marked it down to $10 million minimum and ordered arbitration. This figure is huge for QTRH. The new CEO has done some takeovers in the past 18 months and wants to do more with $58 million cash. Has a clean balance sheet. Their big problem are their lumpy revenues and earnings. This now trades way below book value and offers tremendous upside. They're trying to get recurring revenues. This company will move in the right direction.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 08/17, Down 44%) They are patent trolls. They have lumpy earnings quarter to quarter. Recently they have been losing money. They moved partly to the Internet-Of-Things. They won a big suit against AAPL-Q but they are appealing it. Legislation has made it hard for a company to be a patent troll now.

TOP PICK

They have been getting so many licenses that it should help with revenues going forward. It pays a dividend that is pretty good at this level. They will be looking to do some takeovers that are accretive. It could quadruple, depending on the law suits they are dealing with, especially AAPL-Q. (Analysts’ price target is $2.08)

WAIT

A name he wants to like but their results are so volatile that are very difficult to gauge. They just won a decision against Apple so probably will have some cash going their way. He prefers to wait until they show some consistent cash-flows. (Analysts’ price target is $2.08)
