Summary
- Immersion Corporation's Q3/FY25 results were boosted by the consolidation of Barnes & Noble Education and substantial gains from investments in marketable securities.
- However, core licensing revenues of $8.4 million were down by more than 40% from an already muted second quarter numbers and are not likely to recover meaningfully anytime soon.
