On May 30, 2024, Administrative Law Judge Doris Johnson Hines of the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled that TP-Link violated U.S. trade laws by importing and selling Wi-Fi devices that infringe on NETGEAR's patents.

Windward Management has issued a letter to NETGEAR's board, recommending a share repurchase of at least 25%, equating to around $100 million, and the formation of a strategic review committee to consider splitting or selling the NFB segment. Windward highlights NETGEAR's robust cash position, with $289 million in cash and short-term investments against a market capitalization of $370 million. Despite a challenging environment, Windward believes NETGEAR's upcoming WiFi 7 upgrade cycle, normalized inventory levels, and strong market leadership in consumer WiFi (35% share) could significantly enhance shareholder value. They predict a 150% upside for shares over the next 12-18 months.
NETGEAR, Inc. reported Q1 2024 results with net revenue of $164.6 million, above guidance midpoint, but a decrease of 9.0% from the prior year.
