On May 26, BlackBerry (BB) rose 11.38% in pre-market trading, trading at $8.5173/share, with trading volume of approximately $1.24 million.

On the news front, BlackBerry continues to benefit from its AI transformation narrative. The company has fully exited its smartphone hardware business and transformed into a pure software and services provider. Its core QNX operating system now runs on over 275 million vehicles and is extending into robotics, industrial automation, and various physical AI systems. The market is repositioning BlackBerry as a key beneficiary of physical AI infrastructure, with its subscription and royalty-based recurring revenue model focused on high-security, highly regulated industries enhancing investor confidence in business stability and growth potential.

Notably, both BlackBerry and Nokia have seen significant rallies as investors re-evaluate legacy tech firms through the physical AI lens. BlackBerry has gained approximately 40% over the past month and over 86% year-to-date. NVIDIA previously invested nearly $1 billion for approximately 3% of Nokia, reinforcing the broader AI infrastructure investment theme that is lifting the entire sector.
