BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) jumps after QNX outlook nudge, eyes on cash flow

BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) stock watches QNX beat with AI premium in play after $1B re-rate

BlackBerry Limited shares jumped in a single session, driving market value to around $6.06 billion at Thursday’s close, as traders shifted away from seeing it as just a slow software turnaround to playing it as an embedded-AI bet. Google Finance pegged the stock at $10.34 on the close, then $10.05 in Friday’s premarket, off 2.8% from that finish. The scale of the re-rate stands out less. Using Google Finance’s 586.06 million shares count, the $1.71 jump in regular trading put about $1.0 billion onto BlackBerry’s market cap. The company’s updated fiscal 2027 revenue forecast was set at $594 million to $621 million, which is a $10 million increase at the midpoint from the earlier $584 million to $611 million range.

Judge ruling puts question mark on Trump grad-loan caps for private lenders

Judge ruling puts question mark on Trump grad-loan caps for private lenders

Federal judges have stopped a piece of the Trump-era graduate loan rule, which could cap growth for private student lenders betting on expensive health programs. Lenders were set to gain as these programs shifted down to a lower federal loan level. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington blocked and put on hold the Education Department’s new “professional degree” definition, finding the agency probably exceeded Congressional limits. “Congress removed any discretionary authority the Department may have had to narrow the definition,” Howell wrote.

MARA Stock Drops After Monday’s Jump, Bitcoin and Nasdaq Weakness Pressure AI Pivot Trade

MARA Holdings dips after AI bull call runs into share plan math

MARA Holdings, Inc. shares slipped Thursday. The drop came despite a new bullish call tied to the bitcoin miner’s move into AI power infrastructure.

The stock dropped 3.0% to $13.585 at 11:50 a.m. ET, after starting at $14.41 and hitting $14.71 earlier. Bitcoin slipped 1.3% to $59,438. QQQ, tracking the Nasdaq 100, rose 0.5%.

Nebius product news dropped this week as Vineland faced a new bear call. A June 23 Seeking Alpha piece said Nebius has shifted from a demand story to a delivery story at the New Jersey site linked to Microsoft, with the focus now on connected power instead of contracted power.
