BlackBerry Reports Record QNX Growth With New Partnerships in Automotive, Robotics and Cybersecurity BlackBerry reported record revenue and a record royalty backlog in its QNX automotive AI software business, which is now embedded in more than 275 million vehicles, while extending QNX into robotics, industrial automation and medical devices through partnerships with NVIDIA, AWS, Arm, Qualcomm and a win with Johnson & Johnson for AI-driven medical instrumentation.
The company also upgraded its Unified Endpoint Management platform with AI-assisted operations, expanded macOS support, post-quantum cryptography and secured certification from Germany's Federal Office for Information Security, reinforcing its focus on cybersecurity and secure communications for governments and regulated sectors.
BlackBerry shares trade around CA$12.54, with the stock up about 176.2% over the past 90 days, reflecting strong recent momentum as the market weighs its software-led turnaround and growing IoT and security exposure.
Taken together, QNX’s wider use in cars and new embedded markets, along with deeper cybersecurity capabilities, points to a business more tied to long-cycle software royalties and mission-critical security. Execution in these newer segments remains a key risk to monitor. Actualités en direct • Jun 12
BlackBerry Extends Rally With FedRAMP Win QNX Growth and Buyback Renewal Fueling Momentum BlackBerry secured 2026 FedRAMP Class D (High) re-certification for its AtHoc secure communications platform, keeping its status as the only Critical Event Management cloud provider at the U.S. government’s highest security level for sensitive unclassified data.
The company reported record QNX revenues with a royalty backlog above US$900m and highlighted QNX’s role in over 275 million vehicles, while outlining plans for roughly 15% revenue growth in the QNX segment for fiscal 2027 and higher product investment.
Management renewed and extended its share buyback authorization through 2027, and the stock has seen sharp rallies, including a 66% move in 8 days that was linked to WallStreetBets momentum and strong retail trading interest.
Taken together, BlackBerry is leaning into secure communications and embedded software, with QNX and AtHoc at the center of its pitch, while using buybacks to signal confidence in the software-focused turnaround.
At the same time, heavy social media-driven trading and a high valuation leave the stock exposed to swings that may not always track day-to-day business fundamentals, so investors need to be comfortable with elevated volatility. Actualités en direct • Jun 05
BlackBerry Eyes Growth With QNX Software Expansion and Major Government Security Wins BlackBerry’s QNX embedded operating system is now used in safety and digital cockpit systems in more than 275 million vehicles, supported by a royalty backlog close to US$950m and further exposure to robotics, industrial IoT, medical devices and other physical AI uses.
The company has secured FedRAMP Class D (High) re-certification for its AtHoc secure communications platform through 2026, reinforcing its role with U.S. federal agencies and critical infrastructure clients, and reports that AtHoc is trusted by 80% of U.S. federal agencies.
Management has renewed a normal course issuer bid that allows repurchases of up to 26.8 million shares through May 2027, and has highlighted an expectation of about 15% revenue growth in the QNX division for fiscal 2027, while some analysts point to execution and valuation risks despite recent share price strength.
The combination of a large QNX backlog, U.S. government-grade security credentials and ongoing share buybacks presents a company that is leaning into software, AI and secure communications as core drivers.
Investors may want to weigh that growth focus and management confidence against the risks related to delivering on the QNX pipeline, maintaining government certifications and the possibility that recent share price gains already reflect high expectations.

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 23% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Apr 09

BlackBerry Limited and TTTech Auto Launch New MotionWise Scheduling Solution for QNX 8 BlackBerry Limited and TTTech Auto announced a solution that addresses the growing complexities automotive developers are facing as the industry doubles down on its push towards Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs). MotionWise Schedule for QNX®? Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0 accelerates software development for automakers building SDVs and helps to enable the safe, real-time execution of applications running on QNX®? SDP 8.0. As vehicle software becomes increasingly complex while maintaining real-time system properties, the demand for products that enable safety, reliability, and precise timing execution is growing. MotionWise Schedule forQNX SDP 8.0 addresses this need by providing a high-performance runtime environment with deterministic task scheduling. This enables optimized resource utilization and is supported by a correct-by-design tool-suite, significantly reducing design and configuration efforts for the embedded runtime. Simplifying complex integration tasks to speed up GTM: In SDV projects, manual configuration of schedulers can lead to cumbersome cycles of repeated testing and iterations. With each code alteration, new feature addition or software release, the process re-starts, causing delays in production timelines and in tandem, adding to program costs. MotionWise Schedule for Q NX simplifies the daily work of software developers, replacing countless manual processes by generating scheduling solutions in a single automated step. New software applications can be added incrementally without compromising quality, meaning the time to bring new software to market is significantly reduced, drastically cutting the cost of new vehicle projects, where even a few days of production delay is detrimental. QNX and TTTech Auto will demo MotionWise Schedule for QnX at CES Jan. 7 - 10 2025 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Visit QNX at Booth #4224 in the West Hall, or schedule a meeting with a spokesperson here. MotionWise Schedule for Quebec SDP 8.0 will be available in early 2025.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.4% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • May 14
