BlackBerry's $1.2B QNX backlog looks substantial against its $5B market cap. Quarter-over-quarter earnings growth, positive EBITDA and its Nvidia physical-AI and robotics RTOS partnership underpin the bullish case. x.com  x.com 

BlackBerry is probably a good long-term bet as an unexpected winner of its pivot from phones to isolated operating systems, whose target markets of robotics, autonomous vehicles and space travel are all growing. The chart also looks bullish, with a clear inverse head-and-shoulders bottom in 2024, several breakouts and gaps up, and the price now above many key support levels. Its market cap is around $5.5B. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

BlackBerry's turnaround is real, but the stock already prices in a lot of execution that hasn't shown up in the numbers. QNX revenue rose 20% to a record $78.7 million, its royalty backlog hit $950 million, and a deeper Nvidia deal takes QNX into robotics, medical and industrial systems. But after a roughly 140% gain it trades above 100x earnings, most analysts rate it Hold with targets about 50% below the price, and growth still leans on autos, exposed to tariffs and slower car production. … Show more

BlackBerry's QNX royalty backlog above $1.2B gives greater visibility into future high-margin software revenue. It rose 26% in two quarters, reflecting demand in software-defined vehicles and potential for more royalties per vehicle, with opportunities in autonomous systems and robotics. The backlog is not guaranteed revenue. x.com 

BlackBerry's re-rating case is getting more tangible after a print that delivered the evidence it needed. QNX revenue rose 27%, it landed its largest-ever design win, and operating cash-flow guidance went up. It wasn't perfect, since Secure Communications still needs work, but the long stance holds. x.com 

FuelCell Energy is not the next Bloom Energy. One 10%-plus up day has already reversed, and the CFO's departure is not a good sign. Its large backlog consists of letters of intent rather than signed contracts, and the company cannot deliver on it. x.com 

BlackBerry's completed pivot to software is showing up in the numbers, and the market is only now catching up. QNX runs in 275 million cars, grew a record 20% in Q4 and has a $950 million royalty backlog, while its NVIDIA IGX Thor integration opens safety-certified robotics, medical and industrial AI. Secure Communications is moving into defense, with customer TKMS. Q4 beat on both lines with revenue up 10%, and FY27 guidance calls for double-digit growth and $100 million of cash flow. x.com 

BlackBerry should benefit as Qualcomm turns super bullish on automotive growing a lot next year, since BlackBerry's QNX operating system runs inside cars. Per @anni_sen, QNX is a safety-critical layer in cars, medical devices and robots whose long certification keeps it designed in for years, and BlackBerry won the contract to power Johnson & Johnson's AI-driven heart pump. The stock fell 6% after earnings. x.com 

FuelCell Energy's bull case rests on upside-only valuation logic, with investors anchoring to Bloom Energy until the sky is the limit, a sign of paying too much. Until FuelCell actually makes money, dilution is its business model, and dilution and opportunity costs can eat away even great upside. 2G Energy, a profitable German behind-the-meter small cap with a large backlog, several growth drivers, a cheaper valuation and no dilution problem, is preferred despite lower upside. x.com 

BlackBerry's QNX is becoming a non-negotiable foundation for physical AI and smart vehicles, driving high-margin recurring royalties. Its Global Embedded Market segment is now its fastest-growing, the robotics and industrial-automation pipeline is at a record high, and Nvidia is embedding QNX in autonomous machine stacks. Quarterly revenue of $152.9 million beat the $137.7 million consensus, and management raised full-year revenue and EBITDA guidance. x.com
