BWS Financial maintains a 'Buy' on Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS) price target of $23.00.

BWS analyst says, "Rambus has reached a settlement with Broadcom (Nasdaq: BRCM). The deal comes as the two parties were submersed in a dispute at the ITC over patents RMBS was asserting were infringed...Assuming, the terms are similar to others, we estimate the deal generating $40 million annually for RMBS...The settlement removes one more party from an ITC decision that is expected on January 4, 2012. Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE: FSL) reached terms with RMBS several months ago."

"The announcement of RMBS reaching a deal with BRCM comes at a time when investors doubted RMBS’ patent portfolio. We continue to believe there is value in owning shares of RMBS for the patents the Company owns and collects revenues from...At $8 much of the negativity that could surface is already priced in. We like RMBS at these levels and would recommend buying it with the outlook of a volatile event coming up on January 4."
