InterDigital issues guidance for Q3
Sep. 02, 2020 4:50 PM ETInterDigital, Inc. (IDCC)By: Jason Aycock, SA News Editor
InterDigital (NASDAQ:IDCC) has issued revenue guidance for Q3.
The company expects $83M-$88M in revenues, generally in line with consensus for $85.5M.
That guidance doesn't account for potential impact of new patent license, technology solutions or patent sale agreements that might be signed the rest of the way, or any arbitration or dispute resolutions that might occur, the company says.
The company has seen three downward revisions to EPS expectations over the past three months - along with three upward revisions to revenue estimates.
rvguy,go with a 30/35% probability 25 to 30 days out.
Jiff, sell covered calls. It’s made me quite a bit of money every month.
We broke above the 200 day. We need to hold.
Resistance at 50 day 56.05 and 200 59.45. I would say a new signed license would do the trick.
How come it hasn’t effected MU,SWKS, AAPL? Get over your TDS.
It’s official.
With Thursday’s final revision of fourth-quarter GDP growth to 2.1 percent from its previous 1.9 percent level, President Obama is the only president since Herbert Hoover to not have guided the US economy to 3 percent growth in any year he was in office.
The US economy grew 1.6 percent in 2016 from the previous years, according to the Commerce Department, which tracks GDP.
Obama’s best year, as far as growing the economy, was 2015 when it grew 2.6 percent from 2014 — after growing 2.4 percent that year from 2013.
The recovering economy — and steady job growth — gave Obama lots of momentum, but the economy sputtered again last year, Commerce reported Thursday.
The government attributed the upward revision in fourth quarter GDP to higher than expected consumer spending in the October-December period.
But even with the upward revision, the US economy was in no danger of achieving 3 percent or better growth last year.
Jiff, that would be zero under the previous administration. Mind boggling that we avg 1.6 GDP with a 0 interest rate environment.
2.9 is way better than anything the previous administration accomplished with 0 interest rates to boot.
Olddog, he’s talking for the full year.
ROF. That’s the wall they roll.
Jiff, it’s like beating your head against the wall. Don’t try it for your own sanity.
Sab, I use a SMA it’s now at 73.36.
It’s 73.42
InterDigital (NASDAQ:IDCC) is scheduled to announce Q1 earnings results on Thursday, May 2nd, before market open.
• The consensus EPS Estimate is $0.13 (-89.9% Y/Y) and the consensus Revenue Estimate is $70.19M (-19.7% Y/Y).

• Over the last 3 months, EPS estimates have seen 1 upward revision and 1 downward. Revenue estimates have seen 1 upward revision and 3 downward.
God Bless Mick, RIP.
• A federal judge in San Diego grants Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) request to block Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) from seeking financial damages for any patent infringement before the lawsuit was filed.

Jiff, if you’re that concerned about earnings buy puts or write a collar. You’ll sleep better at night.

How can you compare today to the dot com era. Those co’s had no earnings back then. Earnings are going through the roof now. Totally different from the dot com days. Rising earnings will always equate to a rising stock market. If you’re looking for a crash you won’t get it. We’ll correct 5-10 % at some point but that’s it.

News for 'IDCC' - (Press Release: InterDigital Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter 2017)
InterDigital Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter 2017
Year-over-year Growth in Recurring Revenue, Strong Cash From Operating Activities
WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research and development company, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.
Third Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights
-- Recurring revenue grew 5% to $88.5 million, compared to $84.3 million in
2016, primarily driven by an increase in fixed-fee revenue due to new
agreements entered into in second half 2016. Recurring revenue consists
of current patent royalties and current technology solutions revenue.
-- Third quarter 2017 total revenue was $97.3 million, compared to $208.3
million in third quarter 2016. Third quarter 2016 included $124.0
million of past patent royalties, as compared to $8.8 million in third
quarter 2017.
-- Third quarter 2017 operating expenses were $56.5 million, compared to
$51.6 million in third quarter 2016. The increase in operating expenses
was primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in costs associated with
commercial initiatives and a $1.3 million increase in depreciation and
amortization, both of which were primarily attributable to the
acquisition of Hillcrest Labs during fourth quarter 2016.
-- Fixed-fee amortized royalties constituted 88% of company's current patent
royalties in third quarter 2017, compared to 56% in third quarter 2016.
-- Net income1 was $35.5 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, compared to
$104.5 million, or $2.99 per diluted share, in third quarter 2016.
"This quarter's results highlight the tremendous stability of our business, emphasizing our company's continued efforts to manage for the long term," said William J. Merritt, President and CEO of InterDigital. "The strong visibility over our revenues and future cash flows, given our high fixed-fee revenue contribution and long-term agreements, put us once again in a position to return value to shareholders with last month's announcement of our third dividend increase in the past four years."
Additional Highlights
-- The company's third quarter 2017 effective tax rate was 10.2% compared to
32.3% during third quarter 2016. The change in effective tax rate was
attributable to a discrete benefit of $9.1 million primarily related to
the reversal of a previously recorded tax reserve.
-- In third quarter 2017, the company recorded $104.7 million of cash
provided by operating activities, compared to $10.1 million of cash used
in third quarter 2016. The company generated $94.9 million of free cash
flow2 in third quarter 2017, compared to $19.2 million of free cash flow
used in third quarter 2016. These changes were primarily due to the
timing of cash receipts under fixed-fee agreements. Ending cash and
short-term investments totaled $967.2 million.
-- On September 14, 2017, the company announced an increase in its quarterly
cash dividend from $0.30 to $0.35 per share ($1.40 per share on an annual
basis), as well as a $100 million increase to its existing stock
repurchase program.
-- On October 24, 2017, InterDigital received notice of a favorable decision
from the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission, stating that the Commission did
not find that InterDigital had violated Taiwan's Fair Trade Act and has
closed the investigation that was initiated in 2013.

Footnotes
(1) Throughout this press release, net income (loss) and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") are attributable to InterDigital, Inc. (e.g., after adjustments for noncontrolling interests), unless otherwise stated.
(2) Free cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that InterDigital believes is helpful in evaluating the company's ability to invest in its business, make strategic acquisitions and fund share repurchases, among other things. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the company's cash balance for the period. InterDigital defines "free cash flow" as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, technology licenses and investments in patents. InterDigital's computation of free cash flow might not be comparable to free cash flow reported by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. A detailed reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is provided at the end of this press release.

InterDigital (NASDAQ:IDCC): Q2 EPS of $1.46 beats by $0.13.
• Revenue of $135.8M (+78.9% Y/Y)
it always seems to work out that way. Been there.
maybe people who got out of idcc went into OLED.
i made a statement in the comments section. I think everyone should do the same.
We have a fixed fee contract. It should have no impact.
Can't believe zacks would cause this type of drop. There might be another downgrade coming besides zacks.
it looks like a fund is selling out or we're getting a downgrade.
went from 88.65 to 89.60 with 1 trade.
InterDigital (NASDAQ:IDCC): Q1 EPS of $0.93 may not be comparable to consensus of $0.61.
• Revenue of $94.5M (-12.3% Y/Y) beats by $0.37M.
