BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) (TSE:BB) has been taking numerous steps to convince investors that the story isn’t over yet, and it looks like what the company has been doing is working. Shares of BlackBerry have climbed by about 30% year to date, significantly outperforming the S&P 500’s 6% increase in the same time frame.
BlackBerry launches Fact Check
One of the things BlackBerry has done most recently is launch something it calls Fact Check. The company got a lot of bad press last year as it struggled to recover from its rapidly declining market share. New CEO John Chen has since revived the interest of investors, who apparently think the Canadian handset maker now has a future, despite the certain death that loomed so closely last year.
Every month and quarter, multiple reports on average hedge fund returns are released from several sources. However, it can be difficult to sift through the many returns to uncover the most consistent hedge funds. The good news is that Eric Uhlfelder recently released his "2022 Survey of the Top 50 Hedge Funds," which ranks the Read More
BlackBerry’s new Fact Check portal is aimed at clearing up misconceptions about its future. The company said the portal is a place where it will hold competitors accountable for the things they say about BlackBerry, especially when they’re saying something wrong. The company wants to expose its competitors’ marketing tactics and show that it is still a leader in the mobile industry.
BlackBerry: fighting the “migration myth”
On the Fact Check portal, BlackBerry brags using real numbers to tell investors how it is really doing in the market. The company reports that since it began the EZ Pass program, over 2,600 enterprises making up 1.2 million licenses have switched over to BES 10. More than 100,000of the licenses were traded in from competitors. BlackBerry gave these same numbers with its most recent earnings report.
The company’s most recent blog post on the site aims to discredit what it says is the “migration myth.” BlackBerry reports that it has the biggest install base, “an unparalleled global infrastructure, and the deepest understanding of how to provide secure, productive mobile collaboration and communications in the enterprise space.” It states that while competitors suggest that all customers are turning their backs on BlackBerry, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The emphasis here is clearly on enterprise customers, which makes sense as CEO Chen has said they want to return to their roots with a re-focusing on enterprise customers.
Where does BlackBerry go next?
As of now, BlackBerry’s share in the U.S. smartphone market has fallen to zero. However, the company still has its eyes set on the U.S. market as it plans to release two new handsets this year. BlackBerry has already highlighted its continued success in emerging markets with its most recently released handsets.
The company also recently declared war on people who leak details about its upcoming products. BlackBerry decided that it’s best to keep things under wraps until it is ready to show new products off to potential customers.

Hi Dave. So how much money did you lose today shorting BlackBerry stock? Please please please tell. Is it all gone yet?
If I were the one writing a publicly visible Fact Check; and I owned that company that the Fact Check is about: I would write facts on that fact check.
Why you ask?
Because haters and competitors will do what they can to discredit your information, to make you look like a liar.
FACT: DEVVV appears on almost every BlackBerry article and tries to discredit BlackBerry
FACT: DEVVV does this because he claims he can fix the company and until they accept that and accept his ideas, BlackBerry will never succeed.
FACT: DEVVV is emotionally upset from rejection which came from a company then named Research In Motion but now known as BlackBerry.
FACT: DEVVV is not a credible source of information due to emotional scarring.
Just remember who is controlling the so called “fact check” what would you say if you owned the company that was writing it?? I think I know the answer to that one.
