- Analyst Amit Daryanani: "We would note that IP income was much stronger once again at $500M+ (if this was more normalized at $350M, EPS would be $4.83 vs. street at $4.88). Margins continued to remain challenging exiting the quarter – with corporate level gross-margins down 170bps y/y to 51% and Op margins down 150bps y/y to 22.5%. Overall, we think softness in underlying segment margins was offset by strength in IP income that was ~$150-200M ahead of our and likely investor expectations."
