BlackBerry Ltd. (NASDAQ: BBRY) is scheduled to report its fiscal fourth-quarter financial results before the markets open on Friday. The consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters call for a net loss of $0.10 per share on $563.18 million in revenue. In the same period of the previous year, it posted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.04 and $660.00 million in revenue.
This company has witnessed one of the greatest falls from grace and prime time in the modern era of consumer electronics. The company has a relatively new CEO in John Chen, and he is considered stellar for keeping things up better than they might otherwise be. The problem here is that some analysts and some investors are still very concerned about BlackBerry’s future.
BlackBerry provides wireless communications solutions worldwide, including the sale of BlackBerry handheld devices, the provision of data communication, and compression and security infrastructure services enabling BlackBerry handheld wireless devices to send and receive wireless messages and data.
