What Value for IDCC?
Once the legal issues are resolved (you can exclude NOK here as a special situation) , a Reseach and Dev. Outfit like IDCC should/will demand a PE in excess of 30.
a rational value as acquisition on a current basis could be as follows:
$ 300 million recurring revenues @ 6 percent - equals $ 5 billion;
Add the cash on the books - $ 800 million;
A fully staffed and functioning research facility(s) @ current operating budget times 5 - $ 1 billion;
This gives a current valuation of $ 6.8 billion!j
Each additional 6% growth rate above base should add a similar valuation as the base. - $ 5 billion!

Conclusion:
base price. - $ 170 / share;

Any price below $ 170 would be an attempt of stealing;

Each 6% of extra growth expectation should add $ 75 / share value!

How fast will IDCC grow with M2M, 4G, 5G, ........ infrastructure, etc, etc......?
