Usually if a defendant loses but the damage award is a tenth or less of the ask, the defendant considers it something of a win. A couple times I've seen defendants who were sued for, say, $60M, get hit for $6M, and call it a good outcome. The calculus might be different at this scale, but probably not by much. The significance of this verdict has more to do with it being a bellwether trial with an encouraging outcome for the plaintiffs. Then again, it was a bench trial, where you usually expect verdicts to be smaller than with juries.
