BlackBerry: A Question Of Leadership Vision And Investor Value Summary BlackBerry must articulate a clearer "two-moves-ahead" strategy. While management has stabilized the ship through cost-cutting, investors are still waiting for a visionary spark to attract long-term institutional capital. Despite 10% YoY growth being a good number, it pales in comparison to the 15% last quarter and remains below the "rocket ship" expectations previously promised. With total revenue projected to grow at a mere 1.2% for the full year, BlackBerry risks being labeled a value trap. Upside exists, but execution is key.
