What are Wall Street analysts saying about BlackBerry stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about BlackBerry stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "BlackBerry reported solid fourth-quarter fiscal 2019 results led by growth in software and services business and lower operating expenses. It provides one of the most secure mobile enterprise solutions in the market. With a holistic growth model, focusing both on organic and inorganic initiatives, BlackBerry aims to expand its market leadership in enterprise mobility. The acquired business of Cylance and its skilled cybersecurity workforce along with its market-leading portfolio of endpoint solutions are a strategic fit and complement its UEM and QNX businesses. The stock has outperformed the industry in the past three months on average. However, technological obsolescence remains a challenge, increasing its costs through R&D efforts for new product introductions. BlackBerry is susceptible to the risk of adverse foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Legal issues have further dented the credibility of the company to some extent." (4/3/2019)
- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We believe this transaction accelerates BlackBerry’s strategy of leading secure endpoint enterprise-of-things (“EoT”) communications, benefits multiple areas of the business across UEM, QNX and Spark, and drives potential synergies given the complementary customer bases. With the IoT market’s heightened growth expectations of both security and AI, as well as investor anticipation for BlackBerry’s cash deployment, we believe the transaction will be well received by the market. However, given post-merger platform integration that needs completion before synergies are realized and the premium deal multiple, we maintain our HOLD rating and $11 price target and await more color on pro forma financial impact from management post closing the acquisition."
