“They no longer make smartphones.
[BlackBerry is] a household name and the pivot has gone well,” said Kingsley Crane, managing director at Canaccord Genuity.
The company has focused on transforming its business model away from mobile hardware over the past several years.
“I think it’s taken some time, and there’s been fits and starts, and there has been some strategic changes along the way,” Crane added.
