ANALYST UPDATE   (See the full report at this link)

Michael F Ciarmoli and Bradley L Mook reiterate their "outperform" rating and $39  share price target.   Investment Conclusion: We believe InterDigital is well positioned to grow its recurring royalty revenues by licensing 3G and emerging next generation wireless technologies to mobile handset OEMs.
* This morning SK Telecom announced it has chosen InterDigital Communications to develop a system/software solution designed to support nationwide handover between WiBro and UMTS networks throughout Korea. We believe this is a significant event for InterDigital for two reasons:
* First, InterDigital's patent portfolio has additional monetization opportunities beyond the current 3G efforts which seems to be garnering most of the Street's attention right now. In our opinion convergence is inevitable, as numerous 802.X and other wireless protocols emerge as next generation mobile technologies. InterDigital is firmly positioned with a base of 802.21 patents - technology that supports media independent handover - that will not only provide a critical interoperability role in Korea, but should also be transferable to other geographies as build-outs progress.
* Second, we view this event as a major step in successfully building the company's technology solutions business segment.
* We reiterate our Market Outperform rating on shares of IDCC. We continue to remain confident that InterDigital will have success in signing new 3G licensees and that the company's prospects of monetizing its vast IP portfolio are intact. Additionally, we believe the Samsung settlement will be resolved in 2007 in the form of a straight 2G settlement or 2G/3G combination. Our 12 month price target of $39 is base on a sum of the parts analysis which can be found on page 3.     December 21, 2006

ANALYST UPDATE   (See the full report at this link)

Tom Carpenter RAISES his rating to Long-term BUY and RAISES his share PRICE TARGET to $40, citing a number of reasons, including: *Share price pullback presents buying opportunity. IDCC now undervalued; * IDCC will ultimately collect on its 2G money owed ($150-$200 million) by Samsung, as it did from Nokia. Could possibly negotiate settlement that includes 3G; * IDCC is investing heavily in product development that could complement its licensing activity; * IDCC is in the enviable position of generating more cash flow than it needs to fund its current business model. Cash at end of 3Q 2006 is $5.58 per share; * Believes the firm can earn between $0.50 and $1.25 per handset sold by licensees; * InterDigital's annual earnings share in the $2 to $3.50 range. * IDCC could sign 3G licensing agreements with two major manufacturers in 2007 (probably Sony Ericsson and Samsung) with Nokia potentially signing in late 2007 or 1H 2008 and Motorola in 2008;   * Risk: the increasingly contentious licensing landscape throughout the industry.

ANALYST UPDATE   (See the full report at this link)

Michael F Ciarmoli and Bradley L Mook reiterate their "outperform" rating and $39 share price target. InterDigital is well positioned to grow its recurring royalty revenues by licensing 3G and emerging next generation wireless technologies to mobile handset OEMs. Recurring royalty revenues have grown steadily over the past six quarters and although the timing of future licensing deals and threat of litgation is a concern, we believe that investors should have confience that these revenue strams will continue to grow

ANALYST UPDATE   (See the full report at this link)

Frank Marsala, First Albany Capital, reiterates "strong buy" and reiterates target of $40   We adjusted our model to reflect the company's guidance.... IDCC shares sold off more than we would have thought on the guidance, in part because of the consensus estimate being skewed by one estimate that includes the revenues. from the settlement of the company's litigation with Samsung.

ANALYST UPDATE   (See the full report at this link)

Casey Ryan, Nollenberger, reiterates "Buy" recommendation and reiterates share price target of $40.  We are lowering our 4Q revenue and EPS estimtes for InterDigital to $62 million and $0.32.... Product revenue opportunity may get boost from 3G launch in China.... We view Chinese 3G and TD-SCDMA development as a strong positive for InterDigital

2006  

ANALYST UPDATE

Casey Ryan, Nollenberger, reiterates "Buy" recommendation and reiterates share price target of $40. Samsung is following Nokia's playbook, filing suit to block payment of settlement award to IDCC. We continue to believe that payment from Samsung to IDCC could occur in 4Q2006 but see increased chance it wil slip to 2007 because of last ditch legal efforts by Samsung. We do not expect a material change in the award but concede there could be small concessions in return for final settlement.   September 15, 2006

ANALYST UPDATE             Sept. 5, 2006

Frank Marsala, First Albany Capital, reiterates strong buy and reiterates target of $40. Continues to believe a favorable 2G Samsung arbitration ruling coming shortly. More conservative take on amount: $60 million vs previous $115 million, but adjusted share total yields same price target. Frank Marsala provides a fascinating estimate of potential 3G royalties from Samsung based on this year's LG royalty deal. Further notes possible new strategy in US for collecting royalties based on Smoot-Hawley in which the ITC may rule to bar imports into the US of patent infringing products. Well worth reading.
