Thursday, May 9, 10:14 AM Rambus (RMBS -2.5%) initially trades higher, then sells off after the judge presiding over its infringement suit against SK Hynix fines the company $250M for destroying documents, while affirming past rulings declaring Hynix guilty of infringement. The $250M will be applied as a credit to a $349M + interest award assigned to Rambus following an '06 verdict, and a royalty rate of 0.8%-0.85% will be applied to infringing SK Hynix chips.

Shares fell last week in response to Rambus' Q1 miss and light Q2 guidance. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]

Friday, April 19, 1:02 PM Rambus (RMBS -10.4%) gives back a large chunk of its April gains after missing Q1 estimates and guiding on its earnings call for Q2 revenue of $53M-$58M, below the $61M forecast by the one analyst providing estimates. Customer license income is expected to fall to $56M-$61M from Q1's $72.1M. The guidance is blamed on seasonality and a lack of one-time payments recognized in Q1. A 6% Q/Q increase in operating costs/expenses pressured Q1 results; they nonetheless fell 19% Y/Y, thanks to lower R&D, legal, and M&A-related expenses. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
