Analysis

Weak and unloved

Quarterhill Inc. scores below average on quality and is priced accordingly, a low-conviction position in either direction.

Valuation data is not available for this company.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 4/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value.
