BlackBerry Momentum Score Surges As QNX Expansion Into AI And Robotics Fuels Growth Outlook - BlackBerry

BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) stock saw a sharp surge in its momentum score, jumping from 14.91 to 36.14 on a week-over-week basis. A momentum score is a measure that shows how strongly a stock is trending based on recent price and trading volume changes, reflecting the current strength of its upward or downward movement. QNX Revenue Diversification Beyond The Automotive Sector BlackBerry targeted double-digit revenue growth in fiscal 2027, driven by its QNX real-time operating system, as it expanded the software beyond its automotive roots into AI and robotics markets, reported The Wall Street Journal. The company had said that about 20% of QNX revenue came from outside the automotive sector. CEO John Giamatteo expects further growth as robotics and AI-driven machines increasingly require real-time, safety-certified software. BlackBerry, once known for its smartphones, had shifted into a software and cybersecurity company, with its QNX platform powering critical systems in cars, medical devices and industrial robotics. Giamatteo said the technology was being integrated into robots working alongside humans in factories and homes.

On Sunday, at Hannover Messe, BlackBerry's QNX division announced an expanded partnership with Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) to develop next-generation safety-critical edge AI systems. The collaboration integrated QNX OS for Safety 8.0 with NVIDIA's IGX Thor platform and Halos Safety Stack, aiming to support real-time, AI-enabled applications in robotics, healthcare and industrial systems.

BlackBerry stock up 13 per cent on expanded partnership with Nvidia

BlackBerry Ltd.'s share price popped by 13 per cent as the firm deepened its ties to tech giant Nvidia. The Waterloo, Ont.-based software developer's share price was hovering around $7.50 in mid-afternoon trading. The rise came after BlackBerry announced it has expanded a partnership that will allow its developers to build and deploy AI systems for Nvidias' IGX Thor platform. Nvidia's IGX Thor is meant to be used in regulated environments for things like autonomous, humanoid and surgical robotics, medical imaging and industrial automation. BlackBerry made its name in the smartphone business but has since transitioned to providing software for vehicles, medical devices and secure communications. Nvidia is one of the world's most prominent tech companies, largely because of the graphics processing units it develops, which power artificial intelligence systems, data centres and advanced computers.

Monday's announcement builds on a mid-2025 collaboration between Blackberry's QNX and Nvidia for autonomous vehicle safety systems. QNX is a real-time, safety certified operating system developed by Blackberry, and is used for safety functions in automobiles, medical devices, and industrial applications.

The software has potential applications in physical AI such as autonomous vehicles and robotics.

BlackBerry Shares Rise on QNX Software Integration With Nvidia's Industrial AI Platform

BlackBerry shares rose Monday after the company said its QNX operating-system software will be integrated into Nvidia's new artificial-intelligence platform for industrial and healthcare machines. BlackBerry's shares traded over 11% higher in Toronto, reaching 7.39 Canadian dollars. The Waterloo, Ontario-based cybersecurity and embedded-software company, once known for its ubiquitous smartphones, currently operates a division called QNX that provides software that powers critical functions in cars, medical devices, industrial robots and other safety-sensitive systems. The expanded collaboration between the two companies allows developers building advanced robots, surgical systems and industrial equipment on Nvidia's IGX Thor hardware to use QNX as the built-in safety-and-control layer. The move ties BlackBerry more closely to one of the biggest names in AI and positions QNX at the center of safety-critical automation. QNX is best known for its role in automotive software, but the Nvidia deal broadens its reach into fast-growing markets where reliability and safety certifications are critical. About 20% of QNX's revenue now comes from outside the automotive sector, Chief Executive John Giamatteo told The Wall Street Journal. The executive said he expects that share to grow as robotics and AI-driven machines increasingly require real-time, safety-certified software. The QNX segment is expected to generate about $290 million to $307 million in fiscal 2027, supporting BlackBerry's full-year outlook of revenue to reach between $584 million and $611 million, up from $549.1 million in fiscal 2026, and ahead of analyst projections. The stock is currently over 42% higher year to date and up 68% over the last 52 weeks. Write to Adriano Marchese at [email protected]
