Blackberry remains mysterious: Couln't resist posting this when I saw the comments below
- If please someone can answer this:
Blackberry has net cash of $2.1 Billion ($3.1 billion minus $1 billion in debt)
Assuming no conversion of debt to equity (conversion price is $10, if conversion happens then debt vanishes and shares outstanding increases), there are 530 million shares outstanding.
The market cap now is $5.5 billion.
Take net cash out, we have $3.4 Billion in enterprise value.
Now Blackberry has:
Other physical assets
44,000 patents
Leader in automotive sector
Deal with Nanthealth in Health sector
BBM-one iof the best and the most secured messaging platform
Building a generic mobile ecosystem
The biggest roster of government client
Any security minded corporation and people use Blackberry
BES10 and now BES12 and MDM solution, considered by many as best in enterprise
QNX application in different verticals
ION-Internet of things built up... trillions in market size
and yes, BB 10 enable devices like Passport that has a good following, more devices coming
and yes, Blackberry in some developing countries, albeit android phones will dominate there
Blackberry will be cash neutral, no more burning of cash
Blackberry will be profitable next year
......
Now when Lenovo wants to buy Blackberry, suddenly Blackberry is so valuable and critical to so many government.
So with all the above, and $ 4 billion in annual revenue run rate that is surely to grow, how is this business valued at $3.4 billion.
And according to this corrupt analysts, with target price at $6.50, valuation will be a little over $1 billion for all those assets.
Call me crazy but there is huge manipulation to accumulate shares and/or a conspiracy to destroy Blackberry so someone can get all those assets that i believe to be worth tens of billions of dollars on the cheap.
Or maybe some very powerful people do not want a non-US company to have a dominant mobile operating system, or they don't want general p8iblic to have a secure phone.
Apple paid $3.5 billion for a headphones maker (Beats), yet some analysts say Blackberry worth only a billion.
Go figure! call me a conspiracy theorist or whatever but facts are obstinate, cant argue with them. There is no magic to numbers, they speak for themselves.
When all this is solved, we will see Blackberry trading at $60-120 range.10-22-14 01:30 PMLike 4 -
- Almost everything you have listed is not a hard asset. They aren't even profit-generating assets. Blackberry isn't even making a profit on smartphones right now. Hence the valuation.
Ever watch Shark Tank on CNBC? The first thing the venture capitalists ask is "How many have you sold?" and "How much profit did you make?" They don't pay much cash for potential or good ideas. That's what equity is for.sentimentGX4 likes this.10-22-14 01:41 PMLike 1 - How much profit amazon, netflix, make?
how much profits or revenues whatsapp made when it was valued at 19 billion (19 times blackberry).. answer is almost zero
If you get your investment knowledge from those people from shark tank, I feel sorry for you.

Blackberry technologies are worth tens of billions. Period.
Wall street analysts know it but wont say it.

- I agree with your overall premise. But the largest issue plaguing the share price is the fact that the business is shrinking. Revenue down, still losing money and still burning cash. Chen has done a remarkable job in a short period of time, but until the company 'turns the corner', then the short narrative will still thrive.
BBRY now trades well above the rumored buyout price of $9 last year - so the street does recognize some value add since then. A considerable amount.
If Chen is able to show revenue growth and even a little profit, then things will change very quickly IMO. The next 2 or 3 quarters are going to be very interesting.

Posted via CB1010-26-14 10:36 PMLike 0 - Most companies are "worth" what people believe they are worth. BlackBerry has an image problem, and that affects their value.
But they also have a shortage of anything that people really want.... Amazon, Netflix, Whatsapp. They are leaders in the overall market and are growing thus "investors" have confidence that either at some point the company will make money, or that at least other investors will drive the price up to a much higher point where they can sell at a profit.
Even in the fields where they are leaders, Mobile Device Management and in the Automotive Industry....is there much potential for growth? Are we talking Billions or Millions....

That's cheap and relatively reliable on-line shopping on a large platform, movies on the net and an easy-to-use, easy-to-connect-with chat/messaging app where most people or everyone else is, too.
The companies themselves are exchangeable/replaceable, the need for these services is not.

Posted via CB10Andy_bb_king and theRock1975 like this.11-07-14 11:04 PMLike 2 - The real value for BlackBerry is if all those enterprise clients stick with BlackBerry and deploy BB10 OS phones. Next 3 quarters will be telling if they have managed to do that.

Especially if BES continues to grow/maintain dominance.
Even moreso if some Chinese partnerships which include BB10 licensing come to fruition.
