BlackBerry Stock Jumps as U.S. Security Win Fuels Its Software Comeback

BlackBerry Stock Jumps as U.S. Security Win Fuels Its Software Comeback

BlackBerry Ltd shares jumped on Thursday, putting the former smartphone name back on traders’ screens after its AtHoc crisis-communications platform won a fresh U.S. government security re-certification and executives talked up its QNX embedded-software business. The move matters because BlackBerry is no longer being judged as a faded handset maker. Investors are weighing whether its two main businesses — secure government communications and QNX software used in cars, robots and industrial machines — can turn recent cost cuts into durable revenue growth.
Fortinet stock hits new high on AI security moves

Fortinet stock hits new high on AI security moves

Last Friday, the stock closed at $114.07, leaving it up nearly 7.6% for the week.
Quantum Cyber Stock Surges As Drone Deal And Ex-VA Chief Put Defense Pivot In Focus

Quantum Cyber Stock Surges As Drone Deal And Ex-VA Chief Put Defense Pivot In Focus

West Palm Beach, Florida, May 14, 2026, 09:02 EDT Quantum Cyber N.V. has brought Peter M. O’Rourke Sr.—the former acting U.S. Veterans Affairs Secretary and military vet—onto its board, the company said Thursday. The appointment comes on the heels of Wednesday’s announcement of a drone tech licensing deal by the Nasdaq-listed firm. CEO David Lazar described the move as a “defining moment.” For his part, O’Rourke said autonomous defense systems are “rapidly becoming foundational.”
CrowdStrike Holdings Stock Jumps 8% as AI Cybersecurity Rally Meets CEO Share Sale

CrowdStrike Holdings Stock Jumps 8% as AI Cybersecurity Rally Meets CEO Share Sale

CrowdStrike Holdings surged 8% Thursday, outperforming a soft U.S. market as traders rotated back into cybersecurity names benefiting from AI momentum. Datadog shot higher following a raised outlook, while both CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks posted gains—even as the S&P 500 slipped. This development lands in the middle of a debate: does AI undercut cybersecurity vendors, or expand their opportunities? Back in February, shares of CrowdStrike, Datadog, and Zscaler dropped roughly 11% following the rollout of an AI security tool by Anthropic. Robert W. Baird analyst Shrenik Kothari described the slide as a “narrative-led selloff,” noting that the tool didn’t actually address live intrusion defense.
CrowdStrike Stock Just Cleared $500 as Cramer, Mizuho Bets Put AI Security Back in Focus

CrowdStrike Stock Just Cleared $500 as Cramer, Mizuho Bets Put AI Security Back in Focus

CrowdStrike climbed past $500 early Thursday, erasing Wednesday’s slide as traders appeared to re-engage with the cybersecurity company’s AI-focused strategy and its efforts to boost partner-driven sales. Shares last changed hands at $503.51, up $35.44 after ending the previous session at $468.07, down 1.78%. This shift is catching attention as investors weigh whether artificial intelligence chips away at cybersecurity vendors or hands them more real estate to guard. CrowdStrike came out with a straightforward response this week: it's streamlining things for resellers, cloud marketplace partners, and services firms, aiming to push more Falcon platform sales through its channel.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 7, 2026, 04:04 PDT Fortinet jumped 12.3% ahead of the bell Thursday, after the cybersecurity name came through with first-quarter numbers that beat Wall Street, and dialed up its 2026 forecast on stronger demand for network-security offerings.

SUNNYVALE, California, May 6, 2026, 16:02 Fortinet Inc. jumped up to 24% after hours, lifted by a hike in its full-year revenue outlook and billings growth not seen in more than three years.

Akamai Stock Is Jumping Before Earnings: The API Security Bet Investors Are Watching

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, May 5, 2026, 15:04 EDT Akamai Technologies jumped roughly 10% Tuesday, buoyed by the launch of fresh products aimed at helping clients spot and address vulnerabilities in APIs—the digital pipelines letting different software talk. The announcement comes just two days ahead of Akamai’s first-quarter earnings release.
Stryker Corporation Stock Slides After Cyberattack Hits Q1 Earnings — Why the 2026 Outlook Still Holds

Stryker Corporation Stock Slides After Cyberattack Hits Q1 Earnings — Why the 2026 Outlook Still Holds

PORTAGE, Michigan, May 2, 2026, 10:04 EDT Stryker Corporation stock tumbled after the medical-device giant posted first-quarter earnings and revenue that came in below expectations. Stryker blamed a cyberattack late in March, which threw a wrench into manufacturing, orders, and shipments. Still, the company stuck to its 2026 forecast, framing the hit as a matter of timing—it’s now a question of how much of the lost sales can be recovered.
Palo Alto Networks Stock Jumps as AI Cyber Fears Become Its Next Big Test

Palo Alto Networks Stock Jumps as AI Cyber Fears Become Its Next Big Test

SANTA CLARA, California, April 25, 2026, 12:05 PDT Palo Alto Networks climbed 3.08% Friday to finish at $178.54, after hitting an intraday high of $179.10. Investors continued to grapple with worries about AI-powered cyber threats even as the company pours money into expanding its security platform. That’s per investor data from Palo Alto Networks.
CrowdStrike Stock Rises After Wolfe Upgrade as Anthropic AI Fears Turn Into Cybersecurity Spending Bet

CrowdStrike Stock Rises After Wolfe Upgrade as Anthropic AI Fears Turn Into Cybersecurity Spending Bet

CrowdStrike stock climbed roughly 3% in premarket trade this Monday, after Wolfe Research bumped its rating up to Outperform from Peer Perform. The firm pointed to Anthropic’s anticipated rollout of a more advanced AI model, saying it could drive increased security budgets rather than threaten cybersecurity providers. Wolfe assigned a price target of $450. The timing of the call is notable, coming just after reports related to Anthropic’s as-yet-unreleased Mythos model sent cybersecurity stocks tumbling Friday. For investors, the old debate is back: will improved AI agents end up handling more of the cybersecurity heavy lifting—or just turbocharge attacks and push companies to ramp up security budgets?
CrowdStrike Stock Back in Focus as Cybersecurity Spending Holds Up, AI Debate Shifts

CrowdStrike Stock Back in Focus as Cybersecurity Spending Holds Up, AI Debate Shifts

CrowdStrike grabbed attention again Friday. Investors pointed to steady cybersecurity spending, plus another round of AI-related initiatives and partnerships, for keeping the name in the spotlight. The stock closed Thursday with a 1.75% gain at $392.62, still trailing its 52-week high by roughly 31%. This matters because the company has spent the past several weeks squeezed between two stories: AI as a fresh catalyst for cybersecurity demand, or AI as a direct threat to existing software models. Back in February and March, Reuters reported that new tools from Anthropic sparked a broader slide in software shares. But Robert W. Baird’s Shrenik Kothari pushed back, labeling the move in cyber stocks “panic-driven, narrative-led”—not evidence that core real-time security platforms were actually being replaced.

JPMorgan’s Dimon warns banks could be targets as Iran war raises cyberattack fears

JPMorgan’s Dimon warns banks could be targets as Iran war raises cyberattack fears

JPMorgan Chase & Co CEO Jamie Dimon is telling U.S. banks to get ready for possible cyberattacks as tensions with Iran ramp up, warning that “banks may be targets” if retaliation comes. Dimon also pointed to higher credit risks should the turmoil persist, though he downplayed the chance that the recent surge in energy prices will spark sustained inflation. https://www.investmentnews.com/equities/jamie-dimon-iran-tensions-unlikely-to-spur-lasting-inflation-warns-of-credit-and-cyber-risks/265513 Why now? The U.S. financial system relies on just a handful of major channels for payments, trading, and settlement—pipelines banks have spent years reinforcing. A geopolitical jolt is exactly the sort of event that draws attackers hunting for weaknesses.
