BofA/Merrill analyst Daniel Bartus reiterated an Underperform rating and $8.50 price target on BlackBerry, telling investors in a research note that he has several reasons to remain cautious. Of note, Bartus says that while BlackBerry has beaten Street expectations in each of the last seven quarters, the stock has declined 6% since its first quarter results in June 2017. Additionally, Bartus sees "tough" comps for IP Licensing, the main area of outperformance, going forward, and says its Enterprise segment, its "most important" segment, is also the weakest segment.
