TiVo (Nasdaq: TIVO) shares are outperforming the broader stock market Thursday afternoon following an earlier agreement with Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) to dismiss all pending litigation against the company. While the S&P 500 is currently down more than 0.6 percent, TiVo shares are up about 1 percent to $11.68.

Potentially helping push the stock higher Thursday, B. Riley's Eric Wold issued a research note this morning suggesting the settlement may have removed an overhang for possible suitors of TiVo. He believes the litigation may have previously been a deterrent for any possible bidder.

Wold maintains a Buy rating and $17 price target on shares of TiVo.
