BlackBerry Is Up 136% This Year: Take Profits, or Buy More?

BlackBerry’s turnaround narrative is being driven almost entirely by QNX. The stock was trading at $8.94, up 2% in afternoon activity, extending a year-to-date gain of 136%. QNX’s real-time software is used in safety-critical systems across cars, robots, and industrial machines, alongside a Secure Communications arm that serves governments—an angle that has helped BlackBerry stand out from struggling automotive-software peers. The biggest catalyst came September 24, when BlackBerry reported Q2 FY2027 results: revenue rose 26% to $163.3 million and adjusted EPS hit $0.07 versus $0.04 expected. QNX revenue reached $80.3 million, up 27%.
