BB Earnings: BlackBerry's Stock Gains as Company Reports First Profit in Three Years
The stock of BlackBerry (BB) is up 7% in after hours trading on news that the Canadian technology firm's latest financial results exceeded Wall Street's expectations. Confident Investing Starts Here: BlackBerry reported earnings per share of $0.02, which topped the loss of -$0.01 that was forecast among analysts. It was the former smartphone company's first quarterly profit in three years. Revenue in its Fiscal first-quarter totaled $121.7 million, which was nearly $10 million above consensus estimates. Both of BlackBerry's current operating divisions, cybersecurity and Internet of Things (IoT), posted sales that exceeded analyst estimates. 'BlackBerry made a strong start to the new Fiscal year, building on the solid foundation we as a company have laid over the past year,' said CEO John Giamatteo in the company's earnings statement. BlackBerry's net income. Source: Main Street Data Refocused Business The positive financial results come as BlackBerry refocuses its business under Giamatteo, who has served as CEO since late 2023. Over the past 18 months, BlackBerry has cut costs, sold one of its main cybersecurity businesses, and pivoted to focus on its software business for motor vehicles. The company returned $10 million to shareholders through stock buybacks, repurchasing 2.57 million shares during the quarter. BlackBerry also maintains a decent balance sheet with $381.9 million in cash on hand at the end of May. BB stock has gained 15% this year. Is BB Stock a Buy? BlackBerry's stock has a consensus Moderate Buy rating among three Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on one Buy and two Hold recommendations issued in the last three months. The average BB price target of $4.67 implies 10.40% upside from current levels.

Parkland shareholders approve Sunoco takeover, management board slate
CALGARY - Fuel refiner and retailer Parkland Corp. says shareholders have voted in favour of its planned takeover by U.S. company Sunoco LP. At a special meeting, shareholders also voted in support of the director nominees that Parkland's management put forward, drawing an end to a bitter proxy fight with an activist investor seeking a board overhaul. Parkland owns the Ultramar, Chevron and Pioneer gas station chains as well as several other brands in 26 countries and a refinery in Burnaby, B.C. More than 93 per cent of shareholders cast their ballots in support of the US$9.1-billion cash-and-stock friendly offer from Sunoco announced last month. Members of Parkland management's director slate got varying levels of support, most garnering around two-thirds in favour. Caribbean-based Simpson Oil, which owns 20 per cent of Parkland's shares, had been pushing for sweeping changes at the Calgary-based company, but ultimately decided to back the Sunoco deal in the hopes it would address its 'lamentable performance.' Engine Capital, another activist shareholder with a 2.5 per cent stake, said it wouldn't support the Sunoco deal as it stands because the deal was rushed, the price was too low and there were likely other options available. The deal is still awaiting approval under the Investment Canada Act, which considers foreign investments in Canadian businesses, and approval to list shares of the combined company on the New York Stock Exchange.

Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: (i) the results of the Kainantu Mine Definitive Feasibility Study, including the Stage 3 Expansion, a new standalone 1.2 mtpa process plant and supporting infrastructure; (ii) statements regarding the expansion of the mine and development of any of the deposits; (iii) the Kainantu Stage 4 Expansion, operating two standalone process plants, larger surface infrastructure and mining throughputs; and (iv) the potential extended life of the Kainantu Mine. All statements in this news release that address events or developments that we expect to occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, although not always, identified by words such as 'expect', 'plan', 'anticipate', 'project', 'target', 'potential', 'schedule', 'forecast', 'budget', 'estimate', 'intend' or 'believe' and similar expressions or their negative connotations, or that events or conditions 'will', 'would', 'may', 'could', 'should' or 'might' occur. All such forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our ability to control, that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such factors include, without limitation, Public Health Crises, including the epidemic or pandemic viruses; changes in the price of gold, silver, copper and other metals in the world markets; fluctuations in the price and availability of infrastructure and energy and other commodities; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; volatility in price of our common shares; inherent risks associated with the mining industry, including problems related to weather and climate in remote areas in which certain of the Company's operations are located; failure to achieve production, cost and other estimates; risks and uncertainties associated with exploration and development; uncertainties relating to estimates of mineral resources including uncertainty that mineral resources may never be converted into mineral reserves; the Company's ability to carry on current and future operations, including development and exploration activities at the Arakompa, Kora, Judd and other projects; the timing, extent, duration and economic viability of such operations, including any mineral resources or reserves identified thereby; the accuracy and reliability of estimates, projections, forecasts, studies and assessments; the Company's ability to meet or achieve estimates, projections and forecasts; the availability and cost of inputs; the availability and costs of achieving the Stage 3 Expansion or the Stage 4 Expansion; the ability of the Company to achieve the inputs the price and market for outputs, including gold, silver and copper; failures of information systems or information security threats; political, economic and other risks associated with the Company's foreign operations; geopolitical events and other uncertainties, such as the conflicts in Ukraine, Israel and Palestine; compliance with various laws and regulatory requirements to which the Company is subject to, including taxation; the ability to obtain timely financing on reasonable terms when required; the current and future social, economic and political conditions, including relationship with the communities in Papua New Guinea and other jurisdictions it operates; other assumptions and factors generally associated with the mining industry; and the risks, uncertainties and other factors referred to in the Company's Annual Information Form under the heading 'Risk Factors'. Estimates of mineral resources are also forward-looking statements because they constitute projections, based on certain estimates and assumptions, regarding the amount of minerals that may be encountered in the future and/or the anticipated economics of production. The estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves is inherently uncertain and involves subjective judgments about many relevant factors. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The accuracy of any such estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance, and actual results and future events could materially differ from those anticipated in such statements. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actual results to differ materially from those that are anticipated, estimated, or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
