BlackBerry (BB) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.
Though momentum in IoT bodes well, BB faces several external risks that could put pressure on its performance.
BlackBerry's divestiture of its Cylance assets highlighted ongoing revenue struggles and failed growth initiatives in cybersecurity. BlackBerry's revenue forecast was weak, with analysts still lowering estimates and the stock trading below comparable software companies. Management need to prove that the overall business can grow at a meaningful rate if shares are to see any upside.
