BlackBerry swings to $53M profit, expands Canadian security deal and completes $60M buyback

BlackBerry has reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results, swinging to a profit of US$24.3 million quarterly and US$53.2 million annually, compared to a US$7.4 million loss previously.

BlackBerry renewed and expanded its secure communications partnership with the Government of Canada, extending deployment of its SecuSUITE and UEM platforms across federal operations. The company's QNX division posted record revenue with 20% year-over-year growth. The results support BlackBerry's transition to high-margin software, though concentration risk around government and automotive customers remains a concern.
