Valuation Lens
Value licensing and semiconductors separately, then break semiconductors into handsets, automotive, IoT, and emerging PC/edge opportunities. Scenario analysis should test units, premium mix, royalty rates, pipeline conversion, and R&D spending.
Update Triggers
Refresh after a new annual filing, material quarterly filing, major acquisition or divestiture, material product or platform transition, major regulatory action, or another event that changes a core thesis assumption. A price move by itself is not a content-update trigger unless the page publishes valuation data tied to that price.
