Why It Matters
Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow
The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.
2. Riding a trend
Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma.

Qualitative Assessment
AI Generated Analysis | Feedback
Here are key points regarding Immersion (IMMR) stock movement between August 31, 2025, and December 4, 2025, considering a reported -3.3% decline:
1. Nasdaq Delinquency Notices: Immersion received multiple delinquency notices from Nasdaq. The first was on August 20, 2025, for failing to timely file its Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. A subsequent notice was issued on September 29, 2025, for failing to timely file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2025. These delays stemmed from an ongoing internal investigation by the audit committee of Barnes & Noble Education (BNED), a subsidiary of Immersion, and related consolidation work. The company had until October 20, 2025, to submit a compliance plan.
2. Shareholder Rights Plan Adoption: On November 10, 2025, Immersion's Board of Directors adopted a temporary shareholder rights plan to protect the long-term interests of all shareholders. This plan was adopted after the Board received a letter from a shareholder, Scott A. Larson, on November 3, 2025, and cited concerns about inaccuracies in that letter. The plan is designed to deter coercive takeover tactics.
