BlackBerry Limited BBRY designs, manufactures, and sells wireless solutions to the mobile communications market. Through the development and integration of hardware, software, and services, BlackBerry provides solutions for seamless access to time-sensitive information, including e-mail, messaging, as well as Internet and Intranet-based applications.
Earlier, BlackBerry launched its much-awaited Android-based handset PRIV. The device has already witnessed significant market response and is expected to mitigate losses at the company’s smartphone business.
Lately, BlackBerry is exploring several business options by acquiring many companies which will likely help BlackBerry offset escalating losses in its smartphone business. BlackBerry’s BES12 platform is increasingly gaining traction. Moreover, launch of Android-based handset PRIV may also act to be a catalyst for BlackBerry going forward.
Currently, BlackBerry has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), but that could definitely change following BlackBerry’s earnings report which was just released. We have highlighted some of the key stats from this just-revealed announcement below:
Earnings: BlackBerry Limited reported loss of 6 cents per share which is narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 8 cents per share.

Key Stats to Note: BlackBerry targets 30% growth in software and service revenue. The company also won 3,600 enterprise clients in the reported quarter.
