Quarterhill Inc (QTRH) Fair Value & Analysis
Technology · CA · Market cap C$318M
Fair value as of: Jul 17, 2026
From 7 valuation models · updated 25 days ago
Share price +34.5% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 88% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (C$0.6000). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide (C$0.1900 to C$0.6000). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (48/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis
Quarterhill Inc (QTRH) currently trades at C$3.20, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is C$0.3900, implying the stock looks roughly 87.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: low).
Over the trailing twelve months, Quarterhill Inc generated revenue of C$160M at a net margin of -32.1%. Revenue grew 13.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -50.3%. Net debt stands at C$34.9M. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from C$0.1900 (bear case) to C$0.6000 (bull case); at C$3.20, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 260% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -61% fair-value upside, at -88%, QTRH screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 7 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF (C$1.34) versus Asset-Based (C$0.4700). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
