Why It Matters: BlackBerry is seeing high interest on the forum after the company reported better-than-expected financial results for the third quarter.

Revenue for the quarter declined to $184 million from $218 million in the prior-year period but beat analysts’ consensus estimate of $177.25 million.

Adjusted earnings were breakeven per share, compared to analysts’ consensus estimate of a loss of $0.07 per share.

Shares of Tesla and Nvidia closed higher on Tuesday.  

It was reported that UBS has named chipmaker Nvidia a “top pick.” Analyst Timothy Arcuri believes that Nvidia will likely benefit from building more “stable” revenue sources around its GPU and software moats.

Price Action: BlackBerry shares closed almost 4.2% higher in Tuesday’s regular trading session at $9.25, but declined 2.1% in the after-hours session to $9.06.
