Avaya Holdings Corp., the Durham-based technology company, has resolved two patent infringement lawsuits, court records show. While the company is yet to respond to a shareholder lawsuit filed in January that accuses the company and its executives of making “materially false and misleading statements” about Avaya’s financial state, the two patent infringement cases were dismissed in recent weeks. One was filed by Canadian firm Aegis Mobility and the other by Avayla Licensing in Delaware. The company has been facing numerous challenges, including a failed debt deal last summer, the ouster of its CEO, Jim Chirico, and allegations of “material weaknesses” in financial reporting exposed by an internal investigation. Avaya has been trying to cut expenses, including through a second round of layoffs in Europe. The company was served with a delisting notice from the New York Stock Exchange in December.
The consensus rating for Avaya Holdings Corp (AVYA) among analysts is “Hold”, based on 8 analyst ratings. The consensus price target for the company is $8.50, with an average prediction of $8.50 and a high prediction of $22.00.
