BlackBerryBB.TOPAST TOP PICKNov 24, 2017Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
Technical situation has been positive from a trading perspective, marching higher since March. People don't understand the importance of its software in applications that can't afford to fail. Massive run in a short time.
Generating cash and some growth. A more speculative play in an important, growing area.
Now starting to take off. Transformed from phone maker to software company. Embedded auto software plus cybersecurity. Auto software is the story -- revenue grew, margins improved, stronger cashflow, good backlog, guidance higher than expected.
Is it a pure momentum name? Blown through all its targets. Might see a healthy pullback. Definitely take some profits. For the long term, core business model has changed. On her watchlist.
Has had a bit of a turnaround, and numbers are starting to back up the story. A very different company, now focused on 2 software businesses. Embedded in vehicles globally, now turning its sights to AI and robotics.
Recent rally driven by NVDA deal. Fundamentals look better, but execution still has to keep up. She'll watch from the sidelines. If owned, take some profits.
Software geared very much to the automotive industry -- mainly infotainment but also autonomous driving platforms. Has done extremely well. QNX software embedded in 255M vehicles around the world. Room for growth.
If you own it, stick with it. Buy some more ~$6.40, and a final third around $6 (doesn't think it'll go below that).
For this one, he's looking at the very right side of a 1-year chart. You can see the basing, but what you want to see is a breakout. Could be a swing trade, but doesn't really have enough movement to do that. Could go sideways forever, or break to the downside. Don't buy until you see that breakout.
His book Sideways goes into this strategy in detail.
(A Top Pick Dec 22/16. Up 44%.) He likes what John Chen is doing. He basically hits targets. When looking to turn around a company this big, it takes a huge amount of time. In this case, it was more difficult, because they had to get out of one space and more into another. One of the beauties of this company is that as they turn, the analysts are on it regularly, so more people will jump into it.
