Unfortunately, Broadcom this morning is sitting there trying to figure out how they can get a big chunk of that $2.3bn via litigation, or fretting that is a heck of a litigation kitty to fight them to the death.

More seriously, does anyone detect a lowering in the rhetoric of the press releases? Boredcom has not issued a press release claiming it won part of the appeal. Maybe this signals that the companies are talking seriously?

Citi report today on Nokia:

Sales to be Down but EPS meet street est. Sales of €12.2bn (-5% y/y, -7% q/q)came in 4% below consensus/6% below CIR driven by lower handset units and NSN revenues. However, clean EPS of €0.33 was in line with street expectations (but below our €0.34 estimate) due to resilient device op. margin.

Handset Metrics — Revenues of €8.6bn (-7% y/y) compared to street at €8.8bn, driven by lower units (117.8mn Vs consensus 119.4mn) and ASP (€72 Vs €73). However, gross margin increased 40bps q/q to 36.5% despite continued smartphone share losses. Combined with tight opex control, this drove a 30bps op. margin beat Vs consensus. Global share of 38% (-230bps
q/q) driven by losses in Latam and APAC.
