“We hosted a presentation and investor meetings with CFO Growth Conference. Management highlighted growth opportunities for BlackBerry including the QNX business now generating revenue beyond infotainment modules, monetizing their patent portfolio, device licensing, growth in Radar IoT and finally their ESS business. BlackBerry recently issued total software and services guidance of 8%-10% growth for F’19 with strong double-digit growth from BTS, better than previously expected licensing revenue offset by a lower run-rate for ESS than anticipated.”
