Considering the fact that BlackBerry reported earnings after the bell yesterday, volatility was expected for today. However, as we reported earlier, there are a number of reasons why these earnings are being cheered by investors right now.

First, BlackBerry was able to beat on both the top and bottom lines. Specifically, the company’s top-line growth was impressive, with BlackBerry reporting $175 million in the second quarter. Analysts were expecting to see $164 million this quarter. That’s a beat of more than 5%.

On the bottom line, BlackBerry still closed this quarter in the red, though by a slimmer margin than expected. The company’s loss per share came in at six cents, versus analysts estimates of seven cents and 10 cents a year ago. That’s also very good.

In other words, BlackBerry is trending in the right direction. Let’s take a look at where the analysts think BB stock could be headed from here.
