BlackBerry beats estimate for Q1 revenue
CANADA''S BlackBerry beat first-quarter revenue estimates on Wednesday, driven by a resilient demand for cybersecurity services in the wake of growing online threats. US-listed shares of the company, which provides cybersecurity and data protection services to enterprises and governments, rose 7.2 percent after the bell. Over the past few months, companies such as the car industry technology provider CDK, UnitedHealth Group''s Change Health care unit and Live Nation Entertainment''s Ticketmaster unit faced large-scale data breaches. Despite the wider slowdown in tech-spending, high-profile hacks are forcing companies and government agencies to amp up their cybersecurity spending to safeguard their data against hackers and malware, boosting demand for cybersecurity firms such as BlackBerry. The Waterloo-based company''s quarterly revenue stood at $144 million, beating analysts'' average estimate of $134.1 million, according to LSEG data. The company reported an adjusted net loss of 3 cents per share for the quarter ended May 31, compared with analysts'' average estimate of a loss of 4 cents.
