Description
BlackBerry’s Q4 2026 results mark the official end of its turnaround era, but a live accounting blind spot stole the spotlight.
In ~10 minutes:
• How QNX acts as the deterministic safety wrapper for AI heart pumps.
• The $38 million deferred cash one-off padding this quarter's free cash flow.
• Secure Communications flipping from a multi-year drag into a growth engine.
• The Q&A moment the CFO completely fumbled a 50M share count spike.

But with cash building and a sudden urge to pursue M&A, will management's ambitions derail their hard-won capital discipline?
