BlackBerry Limited (BB) is a Sector Perform at RBC Capital Despite QNX Business Concerns

BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) is one of the best debt-free penny stocks to buy right now. On November 8, RBC Capital reiterated a Sector Perform rating on BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) and set a $4.50 price target. According to the research firm, the company faces near-term headwinds on the QNX business due to project deferrals and platform launch delays.

It is one of the reasons QNX revenue grew only 7% in the third quarter, falling short of its long-term 14% compound annual growth rate. Likewise, QNX growth has trended toward the lower end of the company’s long-term target. Amid the slow growth, the company delivered its third consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability in Q3 FY26.

Non-GAAP earnings per share rose to $0.05, beating consensus estimates by 25% as revenue totaled $141.8 million. GAAP net income totaled $13.7 million, a significant $24 million improvement from the same quarter last year. The better-than-expected results came as BlackBerry made substantial strides in its strategic focus on automotive embedded systems and secure communications.

BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) is a software and services company that shifted from making phones to providing intelligent security software and solutions for enterprises and governments, with a focus on the Internet of Things (IoT), cybersecurity, and embedded systems, especially in the automotive sector.
