Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have been invested in this company for many years. I'm receiving a small dividend that was cut in half several years ago. Over the years they have changed their primary operation from a patent troll to an investment corporation. They even won a court case over Apple (patent infringements) but have yet to be compensated. Are you aware of any positive corporate actions that may make Quarterhill more investable over the next few years. They are reporting next week and I am concerned that things may not have gone as well
as expected. Would you continue to hold on or would you throw in the towel.

Q: looking at this company I note that the cash position is strong. They are also supposed to be receiving money from the Apple settlement which then would give them roughly $230 million net of debt. this equates to about $2 per share. Seems like there is value here. Can you contribute anything that would poke holes in my thesis that right now might be a good time to buy?
Idle thoughts also have me wondering why Apple wouldn't just buy QTRH to gain access to their other patented technologies. They are already going tp be paying what amounts to about a third of the company value.

Q: Hello 5i team,
In a November 16th answer, you mentioned GSY, PHO, GH and QTRH as potential go private companies. What would make them « ripe » (ready) to be bought? What characteristics (size? Slowing growth?) would help to know that a go private transaction might happen let’s say in the next year? I am surprised you included GSY (starting soon auto financing) and PHO (some new management recently) on your short list as they seem to still have growth avenues and no financing problems.
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Hi there, is it time to get on the BUS, and go for a nice long ride? Momentum and volume look great, maybe a large order finally on the horizon for them? Insiders are buying!
Regarding QTRH, a lot of shares are being purchased, for cancellation by the company? Will this reflect well for their 3Q release coming soon, based on their per share numbers? Momentum and volume look good here too!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
