BlackBerry Reinvented: QNX Backlog Tops $1.2 Billion as AI Robotics Becomes Its New Growth Engine
BlackBerry, the former smartphone king, has completed one of tech’s most dramatic pivots: its QNX real-time operating system now holds a record $1.2 billion royalty backlog, up more than $250 million in just two quarters. CEO John Giamatteo calls AI robotics one of QNX’s fastest-growing businesses, and with deep Nvidia Jetson integration, BlackBerry is quietly becoming the infrastructure winner of the physical AI era — its shares have surged over 140% this year.
