Now it supplies major companies and governments with cybersecurity platforms for communications as well as to fight ransomware attacks and other significant breaches.\nIt also is very active in the Internet of Things (IoT) space, where secure communications among devices are at a premium. It has upped its artificial intelligence game as well, incorporating it into new security platforms.\nThe fact is, BB stock was flying under the radar when it recently received its meme status.\nMore Than a Meme Stock\nBB stock was a value before the meme community got a hold of it. It had been sitting below $10 for years. Year to date it’s up 95%, and it’s up 153% in the past 12 months. This is ridiculous, but it doesn’t change the fact that BB stock is worth holding. The trouble is, it’s at an unrealistic premium now.\nGiven its current volatility, I would say it’s worth a buy below $10 for long-term investors.
