InterDigital Has Signed A New License Agreement With Panasonic, The Agreement Covers InterDigital's 4G And 5G Cellular, HEVC Video and WiFi Patents

Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) lawsuit in London against a U.S. technology firm, InterDigital<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IDCC" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a>Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDCC#NASDAQ">IDCC</a>), and a patent licensing platform, Avanci, was overturned by the court today.
Tesla was seeking a patent license ahead of the automaker's introduction of 5G vehicles in the U.K.
Elon Musk's company had sued InterDigital and Avanci, which licenses patents for automotive uses, in London's High Court in 2023, reported Reuters.
Tesla sought the court's determination on the fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms for using patents owned by holders, including InterDigital, which Avanci licenses.
Tesla's lawyers indicated that the company plans to launch 5G vehicles in the U.K. soon.
InterDigital and Avanci requested the court dismiss Tesla's bid for a ruling on FRAND terms. On Monday, Judge Timothy Fancourt ruled in their favor, stating that Tesla's bid for a license must be dismissed.

However, Tesla's claim to revoke three of InterDigital's patents will proceed. The dispute revolves around Tesla's request for FRAND terms to use certain 5G patents.
FRAND terms are meant to ensure fair and accessible licensing, which is critical for the development and deployment of new technologies.
The outcome of Tesla's ongoing claim to revoke InterDigital's patents could impact future licensing agreements and the introduction of 5G technology in automotive applications.
Tesla stock has lost more than 14% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via two ETFs. They include&nbsp;the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLY#NYSE">XLY</a>) and Fidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDIS#NYSE">FDIS</a>).
Price Action: At the last check on Monday, TSLA shares were trading higher by 5.47% at $261.65.

InterDigital Q1 Earnings Beat on Higher Revenues

Interdigital shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q1 financial results and issued Q2 and FY24 adjusted EPS guidance above estimates. Also, a court in Germany awarded the company an injunction against Lenovo.

InterDigital Reaffirms Full Year 2024 Guidance; Revenue Of $620M-$670M (Est $634.668M), Adj EPS Of $7.45-$8.76 (Est $5.72)

InterDigital: A Cautiously Optimistic Hold Amidst Revenue Growth Targets and Market Uncertainties

InterDigital (IDCC) is trading at a discount compared to its peers after delivering record-breaking revenue for the first half of the year. Could this make it a bargain buy in the wireless tech space? Read on to learn my view… InterDigital, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/IDCC/">IDCC</a>) is a global leader in research and development, focusing on cutting-edge wireless, video, and AI technologies. The company's innovations drive communications and entertainment products, which it licenses to businesses worldwide. Although IDCC isn't one of the largest players by market cap, its stock has seen significant price fluctuations, reaching a 52-week high of $140.60 before dipping to a low of $74.65.
Such price swings allow investors to buy into the stock at a more attractive entry point. Over the past year, IDCC shares have gained 62.1%, and they're up 20.9% year-to-date, closing the last trading session at $131.25.
Investing in a strong company with solid growth prospects at a discounted price is always appealing. Street expects IDCC's EPS and revenue for the current year (ending December 2024) to increase 13.6% and 30.4% year-over-year to $10.48 and $716.69 million, respectively.
Moreover, the company has consistently outperformed Wall Street's expectations. For the second quarter, IDCC's earnings per share was $4.57, far above the consensus estimate of $0.74, while its revenue exceeded the analysts' estimates by $123.82 million. It is no surprise that IDCC's strong earnings have topped the EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
In view of the above, is IDCC a bargain buy? Let's take a deeper look at its fundamental factors:
Strong Financials
For the fiscal second quarter (ended June 30, 2024), IDCC's revenues grew by triple digits (120% year-over-year) to a record of $223.49 million. Income from operations also saw a substantial uptick, from $23.38 million last year to $133.91 million.
The company's adjusted <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/ebitda.asp">EBITDA</a> rose 194.5% from the prior-year quarter to $157.74 million. Likewise, its non-GAAP net income amounted to $118.90 million compared with $35.63 million in the year-ago quarter. In addition, its non-GAAP earnings per share of $4.57 improved considerably from the year-ago value of $1.30.
Impressive Historical Growth
Over the past three years, IDCC's revenue and EBITDA increased at a CAGR of 28.1% and 48.2%, respectively. Its EBIT grew at a 98.9% CAGR during the period. Moreover, the company's net income rose at an impressive 111% CAGR over the same time frame.
Lower-Than-Industry Valuation
In terms of forward non-GAAP P/E, IDCC is currently trading at 12.44x, 45.6% lower than the industry average of 22.85x. Similarly, the stock's forward non-GAAP PEG and EV/EBITDA multiples of 0.91 and 7.64 are 48.9% and 44.5% lower than the industry averages of 1.79x and 13.77x, respectively. Additionally, the stock's 10.54x forward EV/EBIT is 43.7% lower than the industry average of 18.73x.
Robust Profitability
IDCC's trailing-12-month levered FCF margin of 29.69% is 187.9% higher than the 10.31% industry average. Its 53.65% trailing-12-month EBITDA margin is 431.8% above the 10.09% industry average. Furthermore, the stock's trailing-12-month net income margin, ROCE, and ROTC of 37.99%, 43.09%, and 16.56% compares favorably to their respective industry averages of 3.66%, 4.52%, and 2.72%.
