BlackBerry’s BES12 platform is increasingly gaining traction. Moreover, launch of Android-based handset PRIV may also act to be a catalyst for BlackBerry going forward.
BlackBerry has an impressive record with respect to the bottom line. The company has delivered positive surprises in three of the last four quarters, with an average beat of 22.32%.
