Here's Why I'm Waiting to Buy BlackBerry Stock
Last year, BlackBerry (NYSE: BB) announced an ambitious goal of creating a software platform for the vast automotive market. But because of the company's current challenges with its cybersecurity portfolio, that opportunity may not translate into profits for investors.
Following its transition to a software-based security business initiated several years ago, BlackBerry announced a partnership with Amazon's Amazon Web Services (AWS) to create IVY, a software platform to securely exchange and manage standardized vehicle data. That platform, which should hit the market by February 2022, should provide automotive industry players with new opportunities, such as reducing costs and monetizing new services.
The success of such initiatives remains to be seen. But those developments expose BlackBerry to a vast total addressable market that management estimated at $89 billion by 2025, which corresponds to an attractive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%.
