Research notes
InterDigital’s bull case is accelerating licensing diversification: Q3 revenue rose 17% year over year to $193.4 million, adjusted EBITDA margin reached 68%, and management raised 2026 revenue guidance to $813–819 million, all largely covered by existing contracts. The bear case is that smartphone licensing revenue fell 10%, free cash flow declined, and unresolved Lenovo/Dell arbitrations plus convertible notes becoming convertible in Q4 add uncertainty; the stock also remains below its 52-week high. The major recent catalyst was the October 29 Q3 report, which delivered adjusted EPS of $3.11 versus roughly $2.00 expected, helped by a binding-arbitration PC license that drove CE, IoT, and automotive licensing revenue up 97% year over year. Further upside could come from additional PC, streaming/cloud, smartphone, and video-technology licensing wins, though those opportunities are not fully reflected in current guidance.
