Is BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating BlackBerry Limited at current levels.
QNX is quietly becoming the Android of the software-defined car, and the market still prices BlackBerry like a legacy carcass.
Where BB is headed
By the end of 2028, the BlackBerry most investors remember, the handset dinosaur with a secure messaging side-hustle, will be functionally dead inside this company. What remains is QNX, a real-time operating system embedded in roughly 255 million vehicles today and climbing, sitting underneath the digital cockpits of Ford, GM, BMW, Toyota, Honda and Stellantis. Every carmaker on earth is being forced into a software-defined architecture because Tesla, BYD and the Chinese EV wave made it a survival question. QNX is the default safety-certified RTOS for that transition, and the royalty model means revenue compounds with vehicle production and content-per-car, not with new design wins.
