Waiting on 1 claim construction of patent 244, been several years now! I'm
sure IDCC has an idea of what that would be worth why not negotiate the monies for the other 2 patents and have addendum figure to be added on should we win 244?
Hope you're right ! Be nice!
Alias born 4/14/2016 ! You are a Johnny come lately, a real guru!!!!!
I was commenting on the conference call what I heard and didn't! You have a habit of involving yourself when not being addressed! I don't give 2 shits what you think Mr Big time player! We'll see how China goes. Hope well but how long has it been since our court victory against ZTE? I ATTENDED THE TRIAL! We're done!
Was it on the conference call?
Hope it continues but everything still remains on the come! No mention of ZTE or Hillcrest I think China could be much more problematic in this political climate than stated! Will we be able to continue upward momentum
without closure on some agreement, volume still very low! See in next couple of days response to this conference call!
INTERESTING! SOMETHING AFOOT?
Is InterDigital Inc’s (NASDAQ:IDCC) CEO Salary Justified?
Simply Wall St.•October 31, 2018
William Merritt became the CEO of InterDigital Inc (NASDAQ:IDCC) in 2005. First, this article will compare CEO compensation with compensation at similar sized companies. Next, we’ll consider growth that the business demonstrates. And finally we will reflect on how common stockholders have fared in the last few years, as a secondary measure of performance. The aim of all this is to consider the appropriateness of CEO pay levels.
See our latest analysis for InterDigital
How Does William Merritt’s Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
At the time of writing our data says that InterDigital Inc has a market cap of US$2.4b, and is paying total annual CEO compensation of US$2m. That’s actually a decrease on the year before. As part of our analysis we looked at companies in the same jurisdiction, with market capitalizations of US$1.0b to US$3.2b. The median total CEO compensation was US$4m.
A first glance this seems like a real positive for shareholders, since William Merritt is paid less than the average compensation paid by similar sized companies. While this is a good thing, you’ll need to understand the business better before you can form an opinion.
You can see a visual representation of the CEO compensation at InterDigital, below.

Is InterDigital Inc Growing?
InterDigital Inc has increased its earnings per share (EPS) by an average of 22% a year, over the last three years In the last year, its revenue is down -35%.
Overall this is a positive result for shareholders, showing that the company has improved in recent years. Revenue growth is a real positive for growth, but ultimately profits are more important.
You might want to check this free visual report on analyst forecasts for future earnings.
Has InterDigital Inc Been A Good Investment?
Boasting a total shareholder return of 42% over three years, InterDigital Inc has done well by shareholders. As a result, some may believe the CEO should be paid more than is normal for companies of similar size.
In Summary…
It appears that InterDigital Inc remunerates its CEO below most similar sized companies. Many would consider this to indicate that the pay is modest since the business is growing. And given most shareholders are probably very happy with recent returns, you might even think that William Merritt deserves a raise!
It is relatively rare to see a modestly paid CEO when performance is so impressive. But it is even better if company insiders are also buying shares with their own money. CEO compensation is one thing, but it is also interesting to check if the CEO is buying or selling InterDigital Inc (free visualization of insider trades).
Of course, the past can be informative so you might be interested in considering this analytical visualization showing the company history of earnings and revenue.
To help readers see past the short term volatility of the financial market, we aim to bring you a long-term focused research analysis purely driven by fundamental data. Note that our analysis does not factor in the latest price-sensitive company announcements.

Moving Average Crossover Alert: InterDigital (IDCC)
Zacks Equity Research
,Zacks•October 31, 2018
Hornbeck Offshore (HOS) delivered earnings and revenue surprises of -14.71% and -4.52%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 2018. Do the numbers hold clues to what lies ahead for the stock?
More
InterDigital, Inc. IDCC could be a stock to avoid from a technical perspective, as the firm is seeing unfavorable trends on the moving average crossover front. Recently, the 50 Day Moving Average for IDCC broke out below the 200 Day Simple Moving Average, suggesting short-term bearishness.
This has already started to take place, as the stock has moved lower by 14% in the past four weeks. And with the recent moving average crossover, investors have to think that more unfavorable trading is ahead for IDCC stock.
If that wasn’t enough, InterDigital isn’t looking too great from an earnings estimate revision perspective either. It appears as though many analysts have been reducing their earnings expectations for the stock lately, which is usually not a good sign of things to come.
Consider that in the last 30 days, 1 estimate has been reduced, while none has moved higher. Add this into a similar move lower in the consensus estimate, and there is plenty of reason to be bearish here.
That is why we currently have a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) on this stock and are looking for it to underperform in the weeks ahead. So either avoid this stock or consider jumping ship until the estimates and technical factors turn around for IDCC. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

InterDigital (IDCC) Q3 Earnings Preview: What's in the Cards?
Zacks Equity Research
,Zacks•October 25, 2018
InterDigital (IDCC) is expected to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2018. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on November 1. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This wireless research and development company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.24 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -76%.
Revenues are expected to be $71.20 million, down 26.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is subject to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for InterDigital?
For InterDigital, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #5.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that InterDigital will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that InterDigital would post earnings of $0.22 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.30, delivering a surprise of +36.36%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
InterDigital doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Mouse nuts for outstanding shares, tons of cash, addition of Hillcrest (sensors) Technicolor (streaming video and?) court victory, pending renewals if all of this doesn't bring a offer to purchase the company soon then what do we have.
Didn't we just go down $12
Why? If you couldn't go up in a raging bull market they'll certainly hammer you in a down market!
Google selling phones but not one other company needs a license? How many employees are we paying for this? ANYBODY!!!!!!!!!
Just drop $10 per share and still can't get a bump ! Getting very concerned about earnings coming up! A piece of dog ----!!!!!!!!!
Can't hurt! Always said we needed some one with International connections and experience!
You may be right, weren't we recently changed from being a growth company to now being a value play? That comes with a lower PE!
How long have we owned Hillcrest now, year and a half ? Not one contract signed, in a smoking hot industry (SENSORS)! No mention at all! BRING SOMETHING TO THIS CONFERENCE CALL NOV.1 OR WE WILL SOON BE IN THE 60'S ! JMO

Corrected it above that post! Market maker.
market maker
This market market should be investigated!
TY! OUR GO TO GUY!
It was for anyone ,you happened to be the last to post!
How much longer is it going to take to have I believe 1 patent claim construction resolved so we can move onto the monetary damage part of the ZTE trial?
And the beat goes on! NO VOLUME, NO INTEREST DRIFTING LOWER! Market up 270, pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!
ANOTHER AWARD WHERE THE ---- IS THE MONEY? LOL
Is the paint dry yet? LOL
Greatly appreciate your work here but getting tired of all these new patents issued and no signings ! JMO
I have a couple questions for our legal eagles! Since we are the ones waiting on the decision of 1 patent concerning the ZTE trial and we had no hearing for the monetary award of the patents we did win, it's been several years now ! Is my thinking correct that we will be screwed on interest over that time frame ? I asked this before why not go to court get monetary award with an add on should we win that patent ! Shouldn't they be aware of that valuation? Management appears to have become deaf and dumb concerning the share holders!
TY, !
Gamco do you have a patent total on IDCC?
