Bad News BlackBerry
June 28, 2013 at 8:52 am PT
BlackBerry shareholders hoping the company’s first quarter would bring hard evidence of the smartphone pioneer’s resurgence were handed something else entirely Friday morning when it reported financials: A total travesty.
Not only did BlackBerry miss on earnings, posting an ugly loss for a quarter for which analysts had projected a profit, it missed badly on smartphone shipments, selling just 6.8 million total BlackBerrys. Of those, just 2.7 million were BlackBerry 10 devices. Worse still, it lost some four million subscribers during the quarter.
“The quarter showed material evidences that BlackBerry 10 is gaining very limited traction with users, be it consumers or enterprise,” Bernstein analyst Pierre Ferragu told AllThingsD. “The business model of BlackBerry will now come under severe pressure, with shipments likely to decline slowly, service revenues to erode at an accelerating pace and pricing likely under pressure. Difficult to imagine how the company can invert the trend now.”
At $10.88, BlackBerry shares are down 24.66 percent in early trading.
