RE:My bold prediction for Priv sales That would be sweet!
ASP would be even higher and the hardware division would definitely be profitable with those numbers.
I'm a little more conservative than that, but not by much.
600k-700k Privs.
400k+ BB10 devices.
I think Blackberry will be break even at worst this upcoming quarter.
This is more optimistic than analysts have been saying.
I think Blackberry did well over the holiday season with Priv and BB10 device sales.
Software revenues will be higher with Good and AtHoc as well as growing QNX revenues. IP licensing is a bit of an unknown. I also think expenses will be higher which will offset some of the Good revenue increases. I'm sure there are costs of laying off duplicate workers and intergrating Good into Blackberry.
Overall, I'm bullish on this upcoming quarter and I think Blackberry will be analysts predictions (again). Chen has a history of under promising and over delivering. During last quarter's conference call, he said that this upcoming quarter's revenue would be the same or slightly higher than last quarter's number.
Hopefully we'll hear that Blackberry has maxed out it's share repurchase program too since shares have been very low lately. That would help the SP in the future once Blackberry starts making profits again.
