Stock Track | BlackBerry Stock Soars 5.18% as Cylance Sale Aids Refocus Strategy

Stock Track12-18

BlackBerry Limited (BB) witnessed a surge of 5.18% in its stock price during Tuesday's intraday trading session, following the announcement of its plan to divest the Cylance endpoint security assets to Arctic Wolf for approximately $160 million.

The divestment, which includes cash considerations of $80 million upfront and $40 million a year after settlement, along with the issuance of 5.5 million common shares of Arctic Wolf to BlackBerry, marks a strategic move for the company. Despite the sale incurring a significant loss compared to the $1.4 billion acquisition price of Cylance in 2018, this transaction aligns with BlackBerry's broader strategy to refocus its efforts on core growth areas.

By offloading the Cylance business, BlackBerry aims to streamline its operations and concentrate on its Secure Communications business, which encompasses offerings like BlackBerry UEM, BlackBerry AtHoc, and BlackBerry SecuSUITE. This divestment is expected to contribute to the company's profitability goals, with a target of achieving profitability in fiscal 2025 and driving revenue growth in segments such as cybersecurity and the Internet of Things (IoT).
