BB stock is up more than 11% in premarket trading this morning, on pace to open at 3-month highs. The stock is gapping away from recent support at its rising 20-day moving average ahead of the bell, and is looking to break away from resistance in the $4.50 area.

The company's strategic focus on cybersecurity and embedded systems continues to yield positive results, with the QNX segment showing particular strength in both automotive and non-automotive verticals. This is evidenced by the impressive 55% growth in the SDP8.0 pipeline during the quarter, and BlackBerry's efforts to expand QNX beyond automotive into industrial automation and medical devices.
BlackBerry maintains a strong financial position with $381.9 million in cash and investments, and has initiated a $100 million share buyback program, of which $10 million was executed in Q1.
Management's decision to raise full-year revenue guidance to $508-538 million reflects growing optimism about the company's trajectory, particularly in the cybersecurity space. The secure communications segment's forecast was notably increased to $234-244 million from $230-240 million, driven by robust demand for cybersecurity services amid rising online crimes. BlackBerry's gross margin expanded to 74%, while its Secure Communications division maintained a stable annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $209 million.
Looking ahead, BlackBerry's transformation continues as it distances itself from its historical operations, focusing instead on emerging technology verticals and cybersecurity solutions. The company expects to generate approximately $35 million in operating cash flow for fiscal 2026, though some near-term caution exists regarding potential auto production impacts from recent tariff changes.
On Wall Street, BB stock has a consensus rating of 'Hold' from the 5 analysts in coverage, and the shares are set to open north of their average 12-month price target of $4.43.

Informa TechTarget Reports Preliminary Q1 2025 Results
NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TechTarget, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTGT), ('Informa TechTarget' or the 'Company'), a leading growth accelerator for the B2B Technology sector, today published preliminary results for the first quarter of 2025, delivering Revenues of $104 million and reaffirming full year expectations for year-on-year growth in Adjusted EBITDA (2). Gary Nugent, Chief Executive, Informa TechTarget, said: 'We have made good operational progress in the first quarter of 2025 and will continue these efforts throughout our Foundation Year, laying the groundwork to realize the benefits of breadth, scale and diversity created through combination, and positioning the Company for long-term growth.' Highlights Q1 Preliminary Revenue Performance as Expected: Revenues increased 77% over the prior year period's reported revenues and declined approximately 6% year-on-year on a Combined Company Basis (3), with run-rate improving into Q2, in line with previous commentary; Mid-single digit revenue decline expected over first six months of the year on a Combined Company basis; Preliminary Q1 Net Income impacted by technical non-cash impairment reflecting difference in current market capitalization versus year-end book value; Accelerated Combination Plan: Early Q1 focus was on combining teams, establishing reporting lines and confirming senior leadership, providing clarity to colleagues as quickly as possible; additionally, we began the process of focusing on our ways of working, including the first steps to harmonize our systems and operational models to enhance collaboration and efficiencies; We expect this work to continue throughout 2025; The Foundation Year: Next phase of Combination Plan focused on consolidating product portfolio, simplifying go-to-market offer and increasing the commercial focus on core growth opportunities, including key client accounts and the CyberSecurity sector; Full Year Expectations Reaffirmed: Targeting broadly flat revenues across 2025, with improving momentum through second half as combined group proposition gains traction in the market; Accelerated approach to combination brings forward synergy targets, underpinning guidance for year-on-year growth in adjusted EBITDA; Long-term Growth Opportunity: We believe underlying demand for efficient, data-driven B2B marketing solutions remains strong, particularly within Enterprise Technology; The scale, breadth and reach of Informa TechTarget creates a unique opportunity to build a leading position in a long-term growth market. Financial Summary (1) (1) The Company's results are preliminary as it continues to finalize its goodwill impairment assessment and the related income tax accounting for Q1 2025. (2) Denotes a non-GAAP financial measure. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for explanations of these measures and reconciliations to a comparable GAAP measure. (3) Combined Company measure which represents Informa TechTarget's performance for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as if the acquisition of Former TechTarget had occurred on January 1, 2023. Note that it is not necessarily indicative of the performance of Informa TechTarget that may have actually occurred had this been completed on January 1, 2023. Expand The Company performed broadly as expected with revenues of $104 million, up 77% over the prior year period's reported revenues, and approximately 6% lower on a Combined Company basis. Our like-for-like performance largely reflected what remains a subdued market backdrop. In addition, through the early months of the year the Company was focused on its Combination Plan, bringing together colleagues, teams, processes and technology. We approached this at pace to provide certainty as quickly as possible which inevitably created some short-term disruption. However, it enabled the Company to enter the second quarter with clarity on reporting lines and leadership, with a clear road map for further refining the product and go-to-market strategy. This accelerated approach also enabled us to bring forward the delivery of cost synergies in the first year post-combination and this underpins our guidance for growth in adjusted EBITDA in 2025, even with Combined Company revenues expected to be broadly flat. The Company is expecting to report a Q1 net loss of $513 million to $545 million, compared to $32 million for the Combined Company in the prior year period, reflecting higher acquisition and integration costs, as well as a $450 million to $475 million non-cash impairment to reflect the Company's current depressed market capitalization relative to book value at year-end and income tax expense of $25 million to $32 million. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by about $10 million versus the prior year period on a Combined Company basis. Filing Update and Regaining Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules The Company expects to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission shortly post the July 4th holidays, once all procedures and reviews have been finalized. This should enable the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) regarding adherence to filing requirements, with our second quarter financial results targeted for release on or before August 14, 2025. The Foundation Year: Combine and Grow In 2025, we are focused on effectively combining our two legacy businesses and building a strong foundation for future growth, initially targeting three core areas: 1. Leadership: We moved quickly to appoint the Executive and Senior Leadership teams, securing a balance of experience and knowledge from the legacy Informa Tech and the legacy TechTarget businesses. These appointments enabled us to confirm responsibilities and reporting lines, providing Colleagues with clarity as quickly as possible; 2. Operating Model: The operating model is being updated post-combination, including: a. Brand consolidation: We combined the brands within our Intelligence & Advisory offerings (Canalys, ESG, Omdia and Wards) under the Omdia brand, simplifying the offer to customers and freeing up analysts to spend more time in the field; b. Product positioning: We made an early decision to reposition the NetLine syndicated audience offering to the volume-end of the demand generation market, playing to current market sensitivities and distinguishing it from our other brands; c. Go-to-Market Focus: We restructured our go-to-market teams to better target major customer accounts, reflecting that half our $20 billion addressable market is accounted for by just 200 companies. We have established dedicated sales and service teams to serve an initial cohort of top accounts, with more to come, facilitating stronger, more personalized relationships, helping us to better identify opportunities to grow and enhance the client experience; We have also doubled down on the CyberSecurity sector, a large and growing market where we have established audiences and data (including via Informa PLC's ownership of the BlackHat brand) but our revenue share remains low; d. Technology & Data: While broader process and systems integration will be implemented over a longer time frame, we prioritized operationalizing our first party data exchange with Informa PLC, opening up access to its 20 million+ permissioned B2B audience generated by its Live B2B Events portfolio. 3. Cost synergies: We immediately targeted addressing duplication in administration costs, technology licenses, property and roles. While this created some disruption in the early months of the year, we entered Q2 with greater certainty and now expect to more than double our original Year 1 cost savings goal, targeting a minimum of $10 million operating synergies in 2025. This gives us a high degree of confidence we can meet or beat the overall $45 million run rate synergy target by the end of Year 3 ($25 million cost synergies and $20 million revenue synergies). Expand 2025 Outlook Reaffirmed Our guidance for the full year is unchanged, with a target for broadly flat year-on-year revenues on a Combined Company basis. Following a Q1 revenue decline of approximately 6%, we have seen improving momentum in Q2, leaving revenues down approximately 5% over the first five months of the year, with a similar figure expected at the half year. We are targeting further sequential improvement through Q3 and Q4 to deliver a broadly flat outcome for the year, with momentum improving as our product initiatives and revitalized go-to-market approach gains further traction with customers. The accelerated delivery of cost synergies underpins our ambition for positive growth in adjusted EBITDA in 2025, despite broadly flat revenues, with a target to deliver in excess of $85 million for the year. We anticipate recording a further non-cash goodwill impairment in Q2 2025, reflecting the market uncertainty cited in our previous commentary that persisted through the first half of the year and the technical accounting impact of our depressed market capitalization at the end of the quarter relative to book values. This adjustment will have no impact on our operational performance or cash position. Our guidance does not assume any marked change in the market environment, with activity expected to remain subdued, as enterprise technology customers continue to limit investments in marketing and sales to prioritize research and development in AI-related initiatives. Long term growth opportunity While this market environment is impacting the immediate market opportunity for Informa TechTarget, we remain confident that the breadth and depth of our product offerings can drive market share gains over time, with a range of long-term growth drivers: Enterprise IT market penetration addressing the needs of our clients across their product life cycle through the breadth, reach and scale of our combined products and talent and leveraging our expanded first-party data assets; International expansion to capture approximately 40% of the global market that is estimated to be made up of technology vendors outside the US; Growth in industry B2B tech markets by expanding into adjacent tech-driven markets such as AutoTech, HealthTech, Fintech and others; New product and platform development to deliver richer data-driven insights and deeper market access; Inorganic growth opportunities that further strengthen our market position, supported by our strong balance sheet and cash generation. We also see AI as a significant opportunity, representing a growing customer market (educating, influencing and targeting buyers of AI-enabled products), a tool to drive efficiency across our operating platform, and a technology to power our content generation strategy and value proposition of our products. AI is changing how audiences discover information, with a shift from traditional search to AI-enabled platforms. We are therefore strengthening our capabilities in Artificial Intelligence Engine Optimization (AIEO), alongside continuing investment in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), ensuring that our trusted, original, authoritative content is referenced and cited in relevant AI summaries as well as through organic search. We also continue to invest in our many other audience development and engagement strategies, including the Industry Dive outbound newsletter model, the BrightTALK and NetLine partnership models, and first party data from Informa PLC, underlining the strength and diversity in our approach to building and nurturing audiences.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Combined Company Revenue, Combined Company Net Loss, Combined Company Net Loss Margin, Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA Margin, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures which are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. 'Adjusted EBITDA' means earnings before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, other income and expenses such as asset impairment and impairment related to goodwill, and costs related to mergers, acquisitions or reduction in forces expenses, if any. 'Adjusted EBITDA Margin' means Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue. 'Combined Company Revenue' means revenue calculated as if the acquisition of Former TechTarget occurred on January 1, 2023. See Footnote 5 of the Company's Form 10-K for December 31, 2024 for additional information related to our presentation of unaudited supplemental Combined Company financial information. 'Combined Company Net Loss' means net income/loss calculated as if the acquisition of Former TechTarget had occurred on January 1, 2023. See Footnote 5 of the Company's Form 10-K for December 31, 2024 for additional information related to our presentation of unaudited supplemental Combined Company financial information. 'Combined Company Net Loss Margin' means Combined Company Net Loss divided by Combined Company Revenue. 'Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA' means earnings before net interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation, other income and expenses such as asset impairment and impairment related to goodwill, and costs related to mergers, acquisitions or reduction in forces expenses, if any. See Footnote 5 of the Company's Form 10-K for December 31, 2024 for additional information related to our presentation of unaudited supplemental Combined Company financial information. The items included in the calculation assume the acquisition of Former TechTarget had occurred on January 1, 2023. 'Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA Margin' means Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA divided by Combined Company Revenue. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Combined Company Revenue, Combined Company Net Loss, Combined Company Net Loss Margin, Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA Margin, may not be comparable to the definitions as reported by other companies. We believe that these measures provide relevant and useful information to enable us and investors to compare our operating performance using an additional measurement. We use these measures in our internal management reporting and planning process as primary measures to evaluate the operating performance of our business, as well as potential acquisitions. Combined Company measures are provided to assist our investors in further comparing our performance as if the acquisition of Former TechTarget occurred on January 1, 2023. The components of Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Company Adjusted EBITDA include the key revenue and expense items for which our operating managers are responsible and upon which we evaluate their performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in presentations to our Board of Directors. Furthermore, we intend to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the accompanying tables, except that full reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures are not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and financial impact of certain significant items. These items include, but are not limited to, acquisition and integration costs, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other expenses, asset impairment, and the income tax effect of these items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, our recent acquisition of Former TechTarget and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the relevant period.

Elon Musk Grabs Control of Tesla's Europe Sales as Painful Plunge Continues. Can That Save TSLA Stock?
Investors are glued to Tesla (TSLA) at writing following reports that its billionaire chief executive, Elon Musk, will personally oversee European sales after firing Omead Afshar – the company's vice president of manufacturing and operations – last week. Musk is seizing operational control at a time when the EV maker is scrambling to stabilize sales in Europe. According to the latest data, TSLA registrations were down 61.5% in Denmark and 64.4% in Sweden last month. Is Palantir Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for July 2025?

Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! Note that Tesla stock is currently down some 18% versus its May high. Continued declines in European sales is a major red flag for Tesla investors given the region is the company's second-largest market and a key pillar of the global EV demand. TSLA shares slipped on Tuesday because registrations down 60%-plus in both Denmark and Sweden signals intensifying competition, particularly from its Chinese rivals. The aforementioned weakness is significant given EV adoption at large is growing at an exciting pace across the continent – suggesting Tesla is losing share. In short, the regional slump undercuts revenue forecasts, pressures margins, and raises questions about brand perception, potentially making it more difficult for Tesla stock to extend gains moving forward. Tesla is scheduled to report its delivery numbers for the second quarter on Wednesday, July 2. According to JPMorgan analyst Ryan Brinkman, the EV maker's Q2 deliveries could come in as much as 19% below its year-ago figure, potentially triggering another leg down in Tesla shares in the near term. In a research note this morning, Brinkman also said there's a 'material risk to the outlook for full year deliveries' as he reiterated his $115 price target on the EV stock, flagging a more than 60% downside risk from current levels. While not nearly as bearish as JPM, other Wall Street firms recommend against buying Tesla stock at current levels as well. According to Barchart, the consensus rating on TSLA shares currently sits at 'Hold' only with the mean target of about $297 below its current trading price.

AMZN Stock Forecast: 1 Way for Amazon to Boost ‘Billions' in New Revenue
Subscription-based services have become a dominant force in today's consumer economy, with companies like Netflix (NFLX) and Spotify (SPOT) leveraging recurring revenue models to drive growth and customer loyalty. But among all subscription giants, Amazon (AMZN) stands in a league of its own with its Prime, offering everything from expedited shipping and streaming to gaming and groceries, all under one roof. Now, Amazon may be on the verge of unlocking billions in new revenue through a strategic move that it has pulled off successfully in the past. Is Palantir Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for July 2025?

Analysts have zeroed in on Amazon's Prime membership as a potential catalyst for 'billions' of dollars in new revenue. For instance, JPMorgan notes that raising U.S. Prime membership costs from $139 to $159 (a $20 hike) in 2026, following Amazon's four-year cadence, could add roughly $3 billion in annual revenue. That's on top of an already massive subscription base. Amazon's subscription services segment (led by Prime) earned about $44.4 billion in 2024. With Prime members receiving $1,430 in annual value per JPMorgan's math, analysts expect strong retention even after modest price bumps. Based in Seattle, Amazon is the global e-commerce and cloud leader known for its vast online marketplace, cloud computing division (AWS), digital advertising, and subscription services like Prime. The company also develops consumer electronics, invests in artificial intelligence, and operates physical retail stores, logistics networks, and a growing media and entertainment arm. With a hefty market cap of $2.3 trillion, shares of the e-commerce giant have traded relatively flat for much of the year. However, after bottoming out on April 21, the stock has rebounded strongly alongside the broader market, rallying over 31% since then. Despite underperforming the broader market in recent months, Amazon continues to command a valuation premium relative to its sector peers. The stock currently trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 35x, which is over 100% higher than the sector median of 17x, a clear signal of the market's confidence in Amazon's long-term growth potential and dominant market positioning. Amazon posted another strong quarter this year, with Q1 results that topped expectations and highlighted the company's growing profitability across the board. Net sales rose 9% year-over-year to $155.7 billion, just above guidance, with every major segment contributing to the growth. North America led the charge with $92.9 billion in sales, up 8%, while international sales grew 5% to $33.5 billion. AWS posted $29.3 billion in revenue, up 17% from a year ago, and its operating income jumped to $11.5 billion, up from $9.4 billion, a reminder that cloud continues to be Amazon's profit engine. Advertising was another bright spot, climbing around 18% to nearly $13.9 billion. That's impressive growth, especially considering it's a high-margin business that's becoming increasingly important to Amazon's overall earnings mix. On the profit side, operating income hit $18.4 billion overall, up 20% year-over-year, while net income surged to $17.1 billion, or $1.59 per share, well above last year's $0.98. Moreover, Amazon continues to show strong operating cash generation, with $113.9 billion over the trailing 12 months, up 15%. However, heavy investment spending brought free cash flow down to $25.9 billion. Management emphasized ongoing cost discipline, including a slowdown in warehouse expansion and tighter headcount controls, measures that seem to be paying off as profitability improves. Looking ahead, Amazon guided Q2 net sales in the range of $159 billion to $164 billion, which slightly beat Wall Street expectations. Wall Street analysts remain broadly bullish on Amazon, even as they weigh near‑term headwinds like macroeconomic uncertainty and a moderation in AWS growth. Among 54 analysts tracked by Barchart, the consensus rating is a 'Strong Buy,' with an average price target of $244.32, implying over 11% upside from current levels. Recently, JPMorgan's Doug Anmuth raised his price target to $240 (from $225), citing stronger‑than‑expected Q1 results, recent tariff relief, and confidence that a modest Prime fee hike could drive $3 billion in incremental revenue. Similarly, Morgan Stanley remains 'Overweight' with a $250 target, pointing to AWS's renewed acceleration and resilient advertising revenues as key catalysts.
