TOP PICK

A lawsuit with Apple resulted in $85.3 million settlement in their favour, but it is not all settled yet -- it could take years. All three of their divisions are earning well, but earnings are lumpy. Earnings come out February 27. They are searching for a new CEO. They have $70 million in the bank, which may lead to a special dividend. Yield 2.66% (Analysts’ price target is $2.43)

HOLD

Last Friday they announced an $85 million settlement with Apple over litigation. It was estimated to held the balance sheet by $0.70 per share. He thinks the stock should still be 10% higher. They have other patents in-house they should be able to monetize in the future.

COMMENT

They are still sitting on a lot of cash. They are still in a patent litigation. It has not done a whole lot and last year it finally went up. Legal fees were a big drag on this company and they have reduced this. It is not a bad name but it is not that great.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 24/18, Up 39%) He liked the CEO, but they are replacing him. The case with Apple goes to trial in January. They have a guaranteed $10 million win, but could be as high as $100 million. A clean balance sheet. Yield 5%

WAIT

The chart is constructive with higher highs and higher lows. He needs to see a break through resistance just below $2.

BUY

He owns it and likes the 3% dividend. What has changed is the new CEO that he liked that quickly got shown the door. This is on his buy list and they will win a minimum of $10 million in a lawsuit against Apple. Yield 3%

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 02/18, Up 4%) Moved into the internet of things. It's a top pick again this time around.

TOP PICK

Lost 6 million dollars this past quarter, but the earn out is positive. Looks bad, because they had to pay $10M. The CEO comes from OpenText, and they are looking to make acquisitions. A conservative management team. In court with Apple, and they won. They could win up to $110M. The decision will come out in January. (Analysts’ price target is $4.84)

DON'T BUY

New management has changed the direction of the company. Payout ratio is too high to likely sustain the dividend. Not a stock he owns. Yield 5%

BUY

He owns this. They have expanded their patent litigation business. They are currently involved in a case against Apple. They won the first round for $145 million, but are on hold for the next stage. They have virtually no debt, but very lumpy earnings. It is still on his buy list. Yield 3.5%

SHORT

He has not been following it recently. They were involved in 4G technology in the past. He actually has a small short position.

COMMENT

They won a lawsuit against Apple for $145 for the first judgement, then won only $10 for the second judgement, then the judge told them to work it out. They have the lumpiest revenues he's ever seen. They keep doing patent deals, like one this week. Likes the CEO who did lots of takeovers when he ran Open Text. QTRH has no debt and has done a few takeovers. Not successful in creating recurring revenues, but he likes the dividend. Lots of upside here. A good settlement with Apple will really help.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 16/18, Down 41%) They won a $145 million lawsuit against Apple, but the judge marked it down to $10 million minimum and ordered arbitration. This figure is huge for QTRH. The new CEO has done some takeovers in the past 18 months and wants to do more with $58 million cash. Has a clean balance sheet. Their big problem are their lumpy revenues and earnings. This now trades way below book value and offers tremendous upside. They're trying to get recurring revenues. This company will move in the right direction.
