Is InterDigital, Inc. (IDCC) Fairly Valued?
InterDigital, Inc. valuation review using P/E, fair value, revenue growth, EPS growth, net margin, and TGMCharts chart exhibits as of July 10, 2026.
By TGMCharts Research · Data as of · Updated
InterDigital, Inc. does not get a one-metric verdict. The stock trades at 24.94x trailing earnings and the analyst DCF (FMP) reference is $311, so the valuation read depends on whether growth and margins support that price.
The core evidence is the relationship between price, earnings, fair value, and business support. Five-year revenue CAGR is 18.37%, five-year EPS CAGR is 60.96%, and net margin is 44.20%. Those facts decide whether the multiple is defensible or stretched.
- InterDigital, Inc. closed at $265 on July 10, 2026.
- Trailing P/E is 24.94x and price-to-sales is 11.27x.
- Analyst DCF (FMP) is $311 with margin of safety at 17.55%.
- Five-year revenue CAGR is 18.37% and five-year EPS CAGR is 60.96%.
- Earnings yield is 4.01% and net margin is 44.20%.
Valuation Setup
The market price, model anchor, growth support, and profitability facts behind the valuation read.
The Read
InterDigital, Inc. should be read as a valuation question with a specific burden of proof: does the market price have enough earnings, growth, and margin support to justify the multiple? The stock closed at $265 on July 10, 2026, trades at 24.94x trailing earnings, and shows an analyst-DCF (FMP) margin of safety of 17.55% — an independent reference, not a TGMCharts model output.
The answer cannot come from one ratio. This note treats P/E, fair value, price-to-sales, earnings yield, revenue growth, EPS growth, and margin quality as a linked evidence set. If those lines reinforce each other, the valuation can be defended with more confidence; if they split, the final read has to stay cautious.
Price And Multiple Context
The price and multiple section asks what the market is paying before judging whether that price is justified. Price-to-sales is 11.27x and earnings yield is 4.01%, so the first chart group keeps the market price, P/E history, and sales multiple in the same frame rather than treating the headline P/E as the whole story.
IDCC P/E ratio Chart
The trailing earnings multiple is the main valuation exhibit because it connects the market price to reported earnings.
Latest P/E ratio: 24.94x as of July 10, 2026.
A P/E ratio of 24.94x has to be judged against the company's five-year EPS CAGR of 60.96%. If the multiple is high while EPS support is ordinary, the valuation thesis becomes more dependent on investor confidence than on fresh earnings power.
IDCC price-to-sales Chart
Price-to-sales gives a second valuation lens when margins and earnings can move around the cycle.
Latest price-to-sales ratio: 11.27x.
Price-to-sales at 11.27x is most useful beside net margin of 44.20%. A richer sales multiple is easier to defend when margin quality is durable rather than temporarily elevated.
Fair Value And Margin Of Safety
The fair-value section is a reference point beside the market multiple. The stored fair value comes from the analyst DCF (FMP) — an independent third-party model, not a TGMCharts output — at $311, with a margin of safety of 17.55%. Treat it as one input rather than a verdict: see the InterDigital, Inc. DCF page for TGMCharts' own scenario range, which can differ materially.
The valuation at a glance
Each input on its own line: what the stock costs against earnings and sales, the model's fair value and how far price sits from it, and the growth and margins behind the business.
IDCC earnings yield Chart
Earnings yield reframes valuation from an owner's-yield perspective rather than a multiple perspective.
Latest earnings yield: 4.01%.
The earnings yield of 4.01% is the counterweight to the P/E ratio. If the yield is thin relative to the quality and growth profile, the valuation case needs more help from future compounding.
Growth Support
Growth support has to show up in both the top line and the per-share outcome. Five-year revenue CAGR is 18.37% and five-year EPS CAGR is 60.96%. The revenue and EPS exhibits sit here because this is where the valuation note decides whether the multiple is being supported by actual business expansion or mainly by investor willingness to pay more.
IDCC revenue
Revenue history tests whether the valuation is being supported by real business expansion.
Five-year revenue CAGR: 18.37%. This is endpoint-to-endpoint from the fiscal years shown — a depressed start year can inflate it, so read it against the recent bars.
Revenue growth is the business-expansion evidence behind the valuation read. A five-year revenue CAGR of 18.37% helps show how much of the valuation story is coming from company growth instead of only multiple expansion.
IDCC EPS
EPS history checks whether reported earnings are keeping pace with the market multiple.
Five-year EPS CAGR: 60.96%. This is endpoint-to-endpoint from the fiscal years shown — a depressed or negative start year can inflate it, so read it against the recent bars.
A five-year EPS CAGR of 60.96% is the clearest support figure for a P/E-based conclusion. If EPS growth slows while the multiple remains elevated, the article should become more cautious after refresh.
Margin Quality
Margin quality is the bridge between sales growth and earnings value. Net margin is 44.20% and price-to-sales is 11.27x, so this section reads profitability beside the sales multiple. A richer sales multiple is easier to defend when profitability is durable. If margins are already elevated, the valuation read should leave room for pressure even when the recent earnings record looks strong.
IDCC net margin
Net margin shows whether the company has enough profitability quality to support its valuation.
Net margin (TTM): 44.20%. The bars below are annual fiscal years.
Net margin of 44.20% is a quality signal, not a valuation verdict by itself. It matters because a premium multiple is more defensible when margins are structurally strong and less defensible when margins are peaking.
Bull/Bear Valuation Case
The bull case is that revenue growth, EPS growth, and margin quality continue to support the current multiple. The bear case is that the P/E ratio and fair-value gap ask too much of the business if growth slows or margins normalize. Keeping both cases visible prevents the valuation note from becoming either a price chart recap or a model-output recap.
Bull and bear case
Valuation support
- Five-year revenue CAGR of 18.37% and five-year EPS CAGR of 60.96% support the business case.
- Net margin of 44.20% is the quality check behind the multiple.
Valuation pressure
- A P/E ratio of 24.94x can become demanding if EPS growth slows.
- The analyst-DCF (FMP) margin of safety at 17.55% should change the valuation read if it deteriorates after refresh.
What Could Change The View
The valuation read should change if the analyst-DCF (FMP) fair value moves, if the latest close moves materially toward or away from the analyst-DCF (FMP) reference of $311 (which would widen or close the margin of safety), or if revenue and EPS growth break from the stored trend. This note is re-checked after every daily market-data update; if its figures stop matching the company's reported data it is pulled rather than left to drift.
Final Read
The final read is that InterDigital, Inc. needs valuation support from more than one place: the market multiple, the analyst-DCF (FMP) reference, growth, and margin quality all have to keep pointing in the same direction. Every figure in this research note is checked against data we compute and store from the company's reported filings. It is general research context only, not personalized investment advice or a buy or sell call.
