Today’s video takes an extremely quick look at shares of Blackberry (BBRY - Analyst Report) heading into their earnings report. Despite riding a pretty good streak of earnings beats, BBRY has been stuck in the single digits for quite some time, while earnings estimates have struggled to return to prior levels.

In fact, the stock has fallen from ‘buy’ territory into ‘hold’ territory within the past week, while it isn’t expected to turn a profit this year or the following year. However, there is a bit of optimism if you do look closer at those longer term metrics. The current full year Earnings ESP on the stock suggests a bit of optimism heading into the release.

Add in a solid industry rank and some decent near-term price action, and this stock might be quite as bad as it appeared at first glance. It will definitely be a test of BBRY keeping up its streak, as well as a continuation of the recent earnings estimate activity to set the stage for the future.
