Trending Headlines about InterDigital

• Neutral Sentiment: Zacks Research retained a “Hold” rating across its reports; the firm continues to publish detailed quarterly and multi‑year model adjustments rather than changing its overall recommendation.
• Negative Sentiment: Zacks cut multiple forward estimates — including FY‑2026 (to $7.39 from $7.58) and FY‑2027 (to $7.94 from $8.20) and several quarterly EPS forecasts — signaling weaker expected earnings in 2026–2027 and reducing valuation upside.
• Negative Sentiment: Broad downgrades to quarterly forecasts (Q1/Q3/Q4 across 2026–2027) suggest Zacks expects slower royalty/licensing or margin trends than previously modeled; multiple sequential estimate reductions typically pressure sentiment and the stock multiple.
• Negative Sentiment: Director John A. Kritzmacher sold 1,250 shares at an average $331 on Dec. 23 (SEC filing). Insider selling can be read as a negative signal by investors focused on insider activity. SEC Form 4
