BlackBerry (BB-T) continues to draw mixed opinions from analysts and experts. While the company has established its presence in the back-end software market for vehicles and possesses a ripe cybersecurity business, its growth trajectory appears to be stagnating with a high P/E ratio of 30. Recent stock performance shows volatility, and many analysts suggest caution when considering investments, particularly noting weak chart patterns that indicate potential downside risks. There are some positive signs regarding management and partnerships in autonomous and electric vehicles; however, experts emphasize that BlackBerry lacks a robust revenue pipeline compared to competitors like NVIDIA. Overall, the consensus leans towards significant uncertainty with the potential for sideways trading or decline in the stock's value in the future.

Consensus
Sell
Valuation
Overvalued
DON'T BUY

They provide back-end software in hundreds of millions of cars, plus they have a strong cybersecurity business. They aren't growing that quickly. Trading at 30x PE. Still not super cheap.

PARTIAL SELL

It popped recently, but it's not a good chart. Trim in tax-loss selling, if you hold.

WAIT

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.

DON'T BUY

If you want to be in tech, you're looking for more growth than this provides. Not a robust revenue pipeline. A lot better companies out there such as NVDA. See his Top Picks.

WATCH

Seems to be better managed now. Focus on software in autonomous and electric vehicles. On top of that, number of lucrative partnerships around the world. Interesting, doesn't own, but is getting close. Doesn't think it will be a double from here.

(Analysts’ price target is $7.00)
WEAK BUY

Shares have fallen to what their patents and technology are worth. It won't go out of out of business; there remains demand for their technology. it could be a meme stock again.

RISKY

Like a lottery ticket. Talk of splitting up the company. Who knows where the bottom is, but you could write a put lower or buy a call higher.

SELL

Very weak chart, so dollar-cost averaging won't work. Structurally declining for over a decade. Even Prem Watsa threw in the towel. Broken. Probably goes to $0, question is not if but when. Sell.

HOLD

Treat it as a lottery ticket. Don't add to it if you own it. He could see it going north of $5 over the next 12 months. Tricky situation they got themselves into.

(Analysts’ price target is $9.70)
DON'T BUY
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

BB is slowly becoming irrelevant. It hasn't made money since 2015, and its large cash balance is gone. Cash flow was negative $263M last year. Sales continue to decline, and it missed its sales estimate last quarter. BlackBerry's sales should remain volatile as it separates its Cybersecurity unit from its higher-growth Internet of Things (IoT) segment, with disruption likely to result. Revenue may expand at an average annual rate of 3.1% in fiscal 2024-27, based on estimates. The higher growth potential of IoT vs. the Cybersecurity unit could prompt a spinoff of the former, allowing investors to tap IoT's sales growth exclusively. High-margin licensing fees have fallen to an annual run rate of about $20 million following the sale of most of the patent portfolio. The resulting margin pressure is likely to abate as QNX and other profitable new offerings pick up. Overall, while its technology may still have promise, it has over the past decade destroyed shareholder value, with management changes adding more uncertainty. It is vey hard to endorse.

Our PAST TOP PICK with BB has triggered its stop at $5.75. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. 

DON'T BUY

He's seen, but hasn't analyzed, today's announcement of a split. It's a shame that the company was a substantial winner, but now is an also-ran. A trade story. Ask yourself if the split creates value and an enhanced opportunity? Often the pieces spun out do better.

DON'T BUY

The guidance was weak, and BB faces numerous challenges. But the company is still undergoing a strategic review, following overtures for a takeover. This remains a possibility, but it is hard to endorse on that alone. Fundamentals remain weak and much worse than expected. The balance sheet is OK but its large cash cushion is gone. Cash flow has been negative the past two years. Speculative as a possible takeover, but not really endorseable as a long term holding right now.
