Yes, Microsoft went public on March 13, 1986 with 1985 sales of $140M and a net profit of $24M. By 1995 it had sales of $6B and a net profit of $1.45B. TTM sales is now more than $31B and TTM net profit is $9.6B!!!
Marvell is probably a more reasonable role model for IDCC down the line. Marvell is a fabless communications and storage chip vendor. Note the relationships between dilution and R&D, and between R&D and the torrid sales growth.
As of the last 10K, Marvell had 24.8M options exercisable at an average weighted price of $17.09 representing $424M in potential cash infusion for a company with $265M in cash/marketable securities and an annual capex budget of less than $25M. Market cap is $3.9B. . .
