Yearly Analysis
Financial experts advise investors to carefully consider these points when assessing BlackBerry’s expected sales growth:
* BlackBerry anticipates an anticipated sales growth rate of 39.1% this year compared to industry standards; this could indicate strong customer interest for their products and services.
*However, BlackBerry’s projected negative growth of 15.6% for next year should cause investors to be alarmed; it indicates sales may have begun slowing and should serve as a warning signal to them.
* When assessing stocks, sales growth should only be one consideration for investors. They should also take into account factors like profitability, competitive positioning and market trends when making an assessment.
* Investors should carefully assess a company’s revenue growth over the past several years and how it compares with industry standards, and their ability to sustain this growth over the long-term.
Overall, while BlackBerry may experience strong sales growth this year, investors should carefully evaluate this information alongside other factors before making their decisions.
Technical Analysis
BlackBerry stock has seen an uncharacteristically steep decrease in volume over the last month; today’s reported volume of 32,752,080 represents 39.888% lower than its average volume of 54,484,400 and could signal lack of interest or confidence in future performance of this stock.
Concerning volatility, BlackBerry has seen relatively low intraday variation averages over the last week, month and quarter with average intraday variation averages of 0.18%, 0.92% and 2.29% respectively. Its highest amplitude of average volatility during these timeframes was 0.54% in week one alone while monthly and quarterly average variance averages were between 2.488% and 2.295% – suggesting it can experience significant price swings going forward.
The stochastic oscillator, an indicator of overbought and oversold conditions, classifies BlackBerry stock as overbought (>=80). This may indicate that its price needs a correction or period of consolidation before continuing its upward trend.
Conclusion While BlackBerry’s stock has had impressive performance recently, its declining volume and potential for major price fluctuations in the future may be cause for alarm. Furthermore, an overbought status suggests that consolidation or correction may occur shortly.
Quarter Analysis
BlackBerry reported negative 5.9% sales growth for the current quarter compared to last year, suggesting a decrease in sales compared with that of last year’s same quarter. Nonetheless, they provided growth estimates for both quarters; 20% for current quarter growth is an optimistic forecast while 80% is an extremely pessimistic one.
Investors should remember that growth estimates are just estimates and can change due to various factors, including changes in the market or unexpected events that could impact performance of their companies. Therefore, when assessing potential growth prospects of companies they should exercise extreme caution as well as take other factors such as their financial health and competitive positioning into consideration before making their final investment decisions.
