BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) shares are trading higher, up 8.39%, on Monday, extending a momentum-driven run as traders lean into strength across Technology. The Nasdaq is up 0.23% while the S&P 500 has gained 0.06%, and BB is also getting a tailwind from the Technology sector’s 0.8% gain.
BlackBerry’s QNX Roadmap
Attention remains on BlackBerry’s QNX roadmap, including plans to integrate QNX OS for Safety 8.0 with NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) IGX Thor and the Halos Safety Stack for real-time, safety-certified AI systems.
The company has also highlighted Leapmotor’s selection of QNX for its D19 electric SUV, which is slated to enter mass production in April 2026 with over-the-air update capability.
BlackBerry is also leaning into early access via the IGX Thor Developer Kit, positioning “safety-certified” software as a starting point for autonomy in robotics, medical, and industrial deployments.
Profitability Turnaround
Last month, BlackBerry posted its fourth straight profitable quarter, marking its first such streak in about a decade. That gives the turnaround story more weight beyond nostalgia for its keyboard-phone era.
The company reported fourth-quarter revenue of $141.7 million, topping guidance. QNX revenue reached $65.8 million, while Secure Communications revenue came in at $67.3 million.

Critical Levels To Watch for BB Stock
BlackBerry is pressing the top end of its 52-week range after clearing the prior 52-week high of $5.79, which signals buyers are willing to pay up for trend continuation. The stock is trading 28.1% above its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and 54.8% above its 100-day SMA, a setup that points to strong short- and intermediate-term trend control by buyers.
The relative strength index (RSI), a momentum gauge, is 71.94, which is in overbought territory and often lines up with “hot” price action. RSI at 71.94 shows upside pressure is dominant right now, but it can also mean pullbacks get sharper if momentum cools.
- Key Resistance: $6.00 — a round-number area where breakouts often get retested.
- Key Support: $4.50 — near the 20-day SMA zone where dip-buyers have recently had an edge.
