Craig-Hallum analyst Anthony Stoss raised his price target for Immersion (IMMR) to $15 after the company reached a global settlement with Apple (AAPL). The analyst estimates the settlement is likely in the $25M-$30M per year range in fees to Immersion. He believes Apple alone can get the company to 60c in non-GAAP earnings per share. Further, the Apple settlement could "trigger a quick succession" of settlements with other pending lawsuit customers including Samsung (SSNLF), Motorola (MSI), and Fitbit (FIT), Stoss tells investors in a research note. He believes Immersion's earnings per share could be $1.50-$1.80, and the stock price above $20, if everybody signs a settlement. The analyst reiterates a Buy rating on Immersion. The stock in morning trading is up 41%, or 3.00, to $10.34.
