Talking point: BlackBerry said it hit an “inflection” point toward profitability, even while it cut its fiscal-year revenue guidance. TD Cowen upgraded BlackBerry’s stock to “buy” after the earnings announcement, citing “significantly improved cash-flow expectations” and more prudent spending by management. Earlier this week, Blackberry sold one of its cybersecurity businesses, Cylance, for US$160 million. It has been working on expanding its QNX software system, an operating system used by the auto industry to program safety functions in 255 million vehicles, into the medical, industrial and rail markets.
