ANALYST_QUICK_TAKE

BlackBerry has announced plans to separate its cybersecurity business and IoT software division into two independent entities. The company's goal is to take its IoT business public next year. The decision comes after a strategic review of its portfolio and will allow shareholders to evaluate each business separately. BlackBerry's IoT division develops connectivity and operating system solutions for various applications. In the company's second fiscal quarter, IoT accounted for $49 million of revenue, while cybersecurity accounted for $79 million. Following the announcement, BlackBerry's shares were up nearly 5% in late trading. Analyst QuickTake : BlackBerry initiated “Project Imperium,” a strategic review of its portfolio, in May 2023, citing concerns about financial performance. The firm sold legacy patents related to its smartphone business the previous year. In August 2023, reports surfaced that BlackBerry had received a takeover bid from PE firm Veritas Capital.
