Fire up your handhelds like it’s 1999 people. Blackberry (BB) had an Investor Day yesterday. Here’s the kicker, we had it as a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) heading into the event. As obscure as this name has been lately, it trades nearly 10 million shares a day. Next year’s sales are forecast to come in 10.45% higher than this year and earnings are set to come in at 2 cents versus a 2-cent loss this year.

The chart, well, looks like you are poking a dead body with a stick. There have been a few spikes up, most notably on crazy short-squeeze action when the world was obsessed with Roaring Kitty. Down here at $2.49 it looks more like a stock destined for a reverse split in order to stay delisted. The numbers aren’t that outrageous when you compare them to other names out there. Price-to-sales this year is at 2.3x, a number that shrinks if next year’s growth comes through.

Dave Bartosiak's technical analysis approach adds depth to our understanding Blackberry’s stock chart. By paying attention to moving averages, support and resistance levels, chart patterns, technical indicators, and volume, he equips investors with a comprehensive toolkit for making well-informed decisions in the stock market. Remember, while technical analysis is a valuable tool, it's important to consider other factors like fundamental analysis and market sentiment before making investment choices.
