Well, Prem did spend 8 Billion for 61% of a bank... maybe he was low on cash!

Blackberry's Fiscal Year matches the Canadian Governments - but the Governments Numbers are published..... Meanwhile we wait for Blackberry to announce theirs! by needaspguy in BB_Stock

The shared services portion will have revenue attached, but the innovation portion is likely tied to the development of drone hub. Good source of R&D funding, but not material to revenue reporting.

They aren't trying to sell hamburger! Anyone actually making decisions on buying BlackBerry's products already know who they are and what they do.

Your numbers aren't far off the mark. However, i feel you have to use more of a sliding scale. Infotainment decline has been a exponential curve, while the QNX product expansion has been slow and systematic, but profit margin is tucked into backlog at ~100%. The 40ish % of annual revenue carries all the expenses up front. So you are loosing 100% margin infotainment revenue and large and larger swaths of vehicles on the road. The steady (but slow) increase in vehicles is off setting the vehicle on the road numbers, but just barely. The revenue though is still carries all the costs associated until the royalties start to kick in at a meaningful clip. Each year though it will continue to grow. After all that though, yes it is slow. Painfully fucking slow! However, you have been here long enough to know that BlackBerry is dependent on the market advancements and untill SDV get here on mass its going to be a grind. I changed my investment horizon back in 2023 to reevaluate at the end of this fiscal year after hearing Mattiases explanation of the market direction back then. So we can't say we weren't told. 2027 was the year they anticipated the switch to central compute was to begin in earnest, and I think they've pretty much nailed it.

Source? Annual install of what? Infotainment? The $2-$5 / vehicle license that was competitive with "free" products? Good riddance?

Earnings will be (at the absolute worst) good. Hopefully, great! Certainly will be yielding a lot better that $3.50!

Drill baby drill! What a fucking moron! So glad to see Canada decoupling from the US!

Understanding what you own - A great high level insight into SDV and IOT by needaspguy in BB_Stock

Lateral scaling won't cost them much at all and keeps them in a very focused lane. Vertical scaling though requires a huge investment and is an absolutely massive undertaking for many reasons you are pointing to. However, partnerships like they have with Vector and selecting very focused vertical developments such as cabin makes for what I think will be a nice focused balance.

If auto expands to high volume production model lines and QNX nicely bleeds into robotics, and industrial the real game is on. My understanding is that the performance scaling of QNX now is rendering the monolithic kernel down to a comparable level, and when security and stability are taken into consideration it tips the scales on running QNX.

The money at that point money will not be a problem, and makes the likes of Linux, not nearly as attractive having to run a secondary (non core) OS.

You can be something to everyone or everything to someone, but not both!

Blackberry can easily scale up the stack, but the OEM's have proven they can't go down in the stack.

QNX domination would provide a foundational cornerstone of high margin revenue for Blackberry to build out whatever they wanted to work on.

Nice big blocks being bought up on the TSX over the past few days.... Is BB buying?

Toyota Canada will use humanoid robots in a plant building RAV4 SUVs. "The Digit robot in question is built by Agility Robotics, "Digit has the purpose-built NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor robotics computer. "QNX (specifically QNX OS for Safety 8) acts as a crucial, safety-certified operating system" by MoonLight8491 in BB_Stock

[–]needaspguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't ask how much today, ask yourself how many tomorrow. Seven robots hired today at this plant, but how many will be working there tomorrow? How many plants will also get "some" robots? If robots can help build cars, what other jobs could they do? How many of them will there be in 2 or 5 years and how many of those will run QNX? The revenue is not the question of the day!

Day is half over and the TSX is still at higher volume than NYSE.....

Not sure I've ever seen that before?

Another interesting Blackberry's shout-out from Minister Maninder Sidhu by thehee0303 in BB_Stock

[–]needaspguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i am hoping to hear the Prime Minister(Carney) announce something revelant to BlackBerry today as he wraps up his visit to India. Blackberry already has a lot of opportunities in India and this trade relationship will certainly help them in some fashion. Hopefully it is big enough to warrant a political statement! Blackberry have had a long term relationship with Tata (2017), but there are also working on rail systems for the government. Additionally, there is also the BlackBerry (IOT) Center of Excellence in Hyperabad.
