BlackBerry's stock price surged 6.33% during the night session, continuing its recent upward momentum.

The company is benefiting from the physical AI infrastructure narrative, with its QNX division releasing a study highlighting that software, not hardware, is the primary bottleneck in deploying autonomous AI machines. The research found that 89% of robotics developers have physical AI on their roadmaps, yet 91% still use general-purpose operating systems for critical workloads, underscoring BlackBerry's competitive advantage in reliable, certified real-time operating systems.

Additional catalysts include BlackBerry's AtHoc platform completing FedRAMP Class D recertification, making it trusted by 80% of U.S. federal agencies for crisis communication, and the company's announcement of a share buyback plan for up to 26.8 million shares to be cancelled.
