Rosenblatt increased its 12-month price target on Adeia Inc. to $30 from $20 and kept a Buy rating following the company’s strong 2025 results and a favorable outcome in its patent litigation with Disney. Adeia reported record quarterly and annual revenue and profits, provided revenue guidance implying about 15% year-over-year growth for 2026 when excluding a one-time litigation payment, and showed improving cash generation that management has used to reduce debt, repurchase shares, support a dividend and pursue acquisitions.

Key Points

  • Rosenblatt raised its 12-month price target on Adeia to $30 from $20 and maintained a Buy rating, citing record quarterly revenue and a successful patent defense against Disney.
  • Adeia reported record 2025 quarterly and annual revenue and profits; 2026 guidance midpoint implies approximately 15% year-over-year growth when excluding the nonrecurring Disney litigation payment. Sectors impacted include Media and Semiconductors.
  • Valuation metrics cited include a PEG ratio of 0.37 and a free cash flow yield of 10%; improving free cash flow has supported debt reduction, share repurchases, a dividend and acquisitions.

Rosenblatt on Tuesday raised its 12-month price target for Adeia Inc. (NASDAQ: ADEA) to $30 from $20 while maintaining a Buy rating, pointing to the company’s record quarterly revenue and its successful defense in a patent suit with Disney. The stock was trading near $18.48, which Rosenblatt and other valuation measures suggest leaves material upside to both the analyst target and InvestingPro’s Fair Value estimate of $22.10.

Adeia closed 2025 with record quarterly and annual revenue and profits, milestones the firm tied directly to the favorable litigation outcome with Disney. Company guidance for 2026, taken at the midpoint, implies roughly 15% year-over-year revenue growth when the analysis excludes a nonrecurring payment connected to the Disney litigation.

On valuation metrics, the stock presents a low PEG ratio of 0.37 alongside a free cash flow yield of 10%, metrics highlighted in InvestingPro Tips as indicators of attractive value relative to the company’s growth profile. Those measures were flagged as part of the rationale for the higher price target.

Rosenblatt and company commentary both emphasize a shifting revenue mix. Pay-TV related revenue is now expected to account for 35% to 40% of total 2026 revenue, down from about 60% in prior years. The long-term decline in Pay-TV subscribers has weighed on growth historically, but Rosenblatt sees that headwind easing.

The firm also pointed to expanding intellectual property prospects across Adeia’s Media and Semiconductors segments. Improving free cash flow has given Adeia flexibility on the capital allocation front; management has used stronger cash generation to reduce debt levels, execute share repurchases, support a dividend and pursue acquisitions.

Rosenblatt said these developments informed its decision to lift the 12-month price target to $30, reflecting what the firm described as improved financial performance and a more constructive growth outlook.

In additional corporate updates, Adeia reported strong fourth-quarter 2025 results with both revenue and earnings per share materially above analysts’ expectations. The company attributed the outperformance to record license agreements and strategic expansions in its media and semiconductor businesses. Despite the better-than-expected quarterly numbers, the stock experienced a small decline in aftermarket trading.

Company executives and analysts pointed to the results and strategic moves as evidence that Adeia is strengthening its position in key markets. The earnings report was cited as reinforcing the company’s financial health and keeping Adeia’s performance under close watch from investors and industry analysts.

Risks

  • A sizable portion of near-term revenue has historically come from Pay-TV, which is shifting - Pay-TV revenue is expected to fall to 35%–40% of 2026 revenue from roughly 60% in prior years, a structural change that has been a headwind to growth and affects the Media sector.
  • The 2026 revenue growth figure cited excludes a nonrecurring payment from the Disney litigation, meaning headline growth may be sensitive to one-time items and could differ from recurring operating trends, a consideration for investors across equity and fixed-income markets.
  • Despite robust underlying results, the stock experienced a minor decline in aftermarket trading, indicating potential short-term volatility in market pricing and investor sentiment.
