RBC Capital Reiterates Sector Perform on BlackBerry, Maintains $3 Price Target

Sentiment has soured ahead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/24/09/41054701/inflation-data-will-be-watched-like-a-hawk-friday-after-feds-interest-rate-cuts">key inflation data that is due ahead of the market open </a>on Friday, with the index futures pointing to a modestly lower opening. A fairly benign data could keep the upward trajectory intact ahead of next week&#8217;s key labor market data. Stocks are on track to finish September, a seasonally weaker month, on a positive note, and election uncertainty could weigh down on the market in the upcoming month. The focus would shift to the third-quarter reporting season in the latter half of October.

In premarket trading on Friday,&nbsp;the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) edged up 0.03% to $572.46 and the&nbsp;Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) fell 0.08% to $489.09, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks advanced on Thursday as traders digested a slew of economic data, Chinese stimulus that set the Asian markets on fire and Micron Technology, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) earnings. A sharp drawdown in the shares of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) on the back of the news of a Department of Justice probe tempered optimism toward the tech stocks.
The major indices opened sharply higher after separate reports showed jobless claims fell in the recent reporting week, durable goods orders remained flat, belying expectations for a decline, and the second-quarter GDP data was left unrevised at 3%.
The indices squandered the early gains but remained mostly above the unchanged line for the rest of the session before closing higher for the day.
The S&amp;P 500 scored another record intraday and closing highs, with nine of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sector classes closing higher. Material stocks advanced notably, while energy stocks came under significant selling pressure.

Insights From Analysts:
LPL Chief Economist Jeffrey Roach said in a note he anticipates a period of higher volatility among both bonds and equities during the present period of global uncertainty and softer growth outlook. &#8220;We expect volatility to remain elevated over the next few months, and believe a better entry point back into the longer-term bull market is likely,&#8221; he said.
The economist said the long and variable lag of monetary policy is not perfectly symmetrical, and it could take time for the monetary stimulus to filter down from Wall Street to Main Street. &#8220;Portfolio allocators should consider keeping a domestic bias during these periods of flux,&#8221; he added.
With just two sessions to go for September, the S&amp;P 500 is up about 17.2% for the month-to-date period. Carson Group Chief Investment Strategist Ryan Detrick underlined a positive aspect of it. If the index finishes September in the green, it would mark gains for eight of the nine months of 2024. Going back into history, this has occurred nine other times and in those years, the index posted gains for the fourth quarter all nine times. The average gain is a decent 6.7%.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">No September isn&#39;t over yet, but if the S&amp;P 500 finishes higher in September that would be 8 of the first 9 months of &#39;24 higher. I found 9 other times that happened in history. Q4? Up 9 times and up 6.7% on avg.

Alibaba, Costco, BlackBerry, JD.Com, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

BlackBerry Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BB#NYSE">BB</a>) reported second-quarter financial results Thursday after the bell. Here&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/ac41057250/blackberry-reports-second-quarter-fiscal-year-2025-results">rundown of the report</a>.
Q2 Earnings: BlackBerry reported second-quarter revenue of $145 million, beating analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $141.42 million. The company reported breakeven second-quarter earnings on an adjusted basis, beating analyst estimates for a loss of 3 cents per share, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
IoT revenue was&nbsp;$55&nbsp;million, up 12% year-over-year.&nbsp;Cybersecurity revenue totaled $87&nbsp;million in the quarter, up 10% year-over-year. Licensing revenue&nbsp;came in at $3&nbsp;million. 
BlackBerry ended the quarter with $265 million in&nbsp;cash, cash equivalents and&nbsp;short-&nbsp;and long-term investments.
&#8220;BlackBerry reached a significant milestone on our path to profitability by recording breakeven adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS. This result was achieved through a combination of stronger-than-expected, double-digit revenue growth for both IoT and Cybersecurity, as well as tremendous ongoing progress in rationalizing our cost structure. Operating expenses for the quarter were 24% lower than the baseline for the prior year,&#8221; said John Giamatteo, CEO of BlackBerry.
&#8220;QNX delivered strong royalty revenue again this quarter, and there was year-over-year revenue growth for the secure communications products in our Cybersecurity division.&#8221;

What&#8217;s Next: BlackBerry expects third-quarter revenue of $146 million to $154 million. BlackBerry sees third-quarter IoT revenue of $56 million to $60 million, cybersecurity revenue of $86 million to $90 million and licensing and other revenue of approximately $4 million. 
The company also guided for breakeven third-quarter earnings, plus or minus one cent per share.
BlackBerry anticipates full-year revenue of $591 million to $616 million. The company anticipates a full-year adjusted earnings loss of 2 cents to 5 cents per share.
Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results at 5:30 p.m. ET.
BB Price Action: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BB" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BlackBerry shares</a> were up 0.79% in after-hours, trading at $2.56 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Micron, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/41034733/micron-q4-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-on-robust-ai-demand-company-sees-significantly-improved-profita">earnings</a> could revitalize the sagging market momentum, with the index futures trading notably higher early Thursday. The risk-on mood was evident across the global markets as China&#8217;s commitment to stimulate the domestic economy encouraged traders. The markets also have several Main Street catalysts to consider, including weekly jobless claims data and inflation measures from the second-quarter GDP report. A slew of Federal Reserve officials are due to make speeches, which could potentially offer clues toward the interest-rate trajectory.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks ended Tuesday&#8217;s session on a mixed note, as wary traders either stepped to the sidelines or took some profits off the table ahead of the flurry of data due over the next two days and Micron&#8217;s earnings that came out after the market closed. IT and utility stocks rose, while the remaining 11 sector classes pulled back. Energy and healthcare stocks were among the worst performers of the session.
The Nasdaq Composite ended marginally higher, advancing for a third straight session, while the S&amp;P 500 Index and the Dow Industrials retreated from their record highs.

Insights From Analysts:
The market could remain lackadaisical until the election, according to Fund Strat&#8217;s Tom Lee. The Fed rate cut is historically positive three to six months out but what stocks do in the next month is a bit of a coin flip, the strategist <a href="https://x.com/CNBCClosingBell/status/1839029917742219408">said</a> in an interview with CNBC. 
Some repositioning took place and the market is now looking ahead to the election, which is just 40 days away, he said. 
Lee noted that most wealth managers and family offices he spoke to hinted at unwillingness to commit capital until after election day. &#8220;I don't think it matters who wins; It&#8217;s just they want to get that event behind,&#8221; he added.
The strategist said in election years, the November and December rallies are pretty tremendous, and when the gains are over 10% in the first half of the year, the November-December rallies get bigger, he said. &#8220;I am bullish into year-end but I'm a little less confident about how markets behave into election day and not that I think we're going to have a huge drawdown,&#8221; he added. 
&#8220;I also don't think we can make new highs and then see the market blast off after election day. So I'd rather sort of say things look a lot better after election day,&#8221; Lee said.
A Morgan Stanley strategist looked ahead to what&#8217;s in store after the first rate cut in the current monetary policy cycle. Chief Investment Officer, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, Lisa Shalett said corporate fundamentals will now need to come into sharper focus, though expectations are already ambitious.
Given this backdrop, she advised investors to consider reducing ultra-short and money market positions in favor of locking in longer-dated rates. The equal-weighted S&amp;P 500 Index may provide better risk-adjusted exposure than its market-cap-weighted counterpart, she said. The strategist also flagged financial services, industrials, energy, healthcare and materials, as well as parts of technology such as software as compelling opportunities. Defensive ideas in residential REITs and utilities, and non-U.S. assets also could work in the current environment, she said.

According to the analyst, visibility to near-term profitability is improving, and BlackBerry plans to provide segmented financials in October.
Near-term stabilization of BlackBerry&#8217;s business and profitability may help lift valuation from trough levels, Treiber writes.
BlackBerry announced another $20 million of cost savings, which brings total annual savings to $125 million of the company&#8217;s $150 million target. Given the time to realize savings, the analysts note that the cuts are more likely to impact FY26.
Treiber raised FY26 adj. EBITDA estimates from $34 million to $41 million. The company also announced that it will provide fully segmented financials at its investor day in October.
However, the analyst cautioned that the company operates in markets with significant competition.
Per the analyst, a material re-rating in the stock is likely to be dependent on sustained profitability and growth, along with other potential value-creation strategies (e.g. sale/spin-out of Cyber).
The analyst lowered the FY25 revenue estimate to $600.2 million from $600.4 million.
Price Action: BB shares are trading higher by 9.28% to $2.415 at last check Thursday.
