Petition to Change Company Name from BlackBerry to QNX and Update Stock Ticker from $BB to $QNX


We, the undersigned shareholders, investors, and supporters of BlackBerry Limited, respectfully submit this petition to formally request a rebranding of the company name from BlackBerry to QNX, and a corresponding change of the stock ticker symbol from $BB to $QNX.
For years, the name “BlackBerry” has been synonymous with a legacy of once-groundbreaking smartphones, followed by a well-documented period of commercial decline. While the company has since transitioned into a focused and highly capable provider of secure software solutions—especially through the QNX platform, which is a global leader in embedded systems and automotive technologies—the public perception of the BlackBerry name continues to reflect its past challenges rather than its current strengths and future potential.
We believe that renaming the company to QNX represents a strategic opportunity to signal a bold new chapter. This change would:
- Rebrand the company around its core strength and most recognized technological asset.
- Distinguish the current enterprise from its outdated consumer-focused image.
- Enhance market perception, attract new investor interest, and support a renewed growth narrative.
- Align the corporate identity with the innovation and leadership QNX represents in safety-critical systems.
Moreover, updating the stock symbol from $BB to $QNX would reinforce this transformation in the financial markets, helping to decouple the company from its past performance and establish a fresh, forward-looking presence.
We are confident that such a rebranding initiative would not only boost stakeholder confidence but also accurately reflect the evolution of the company into a leader in software and secure embedded systems.
We urge the executive leadership and the Board of Directors to strongly consider this proposal and take the necessary steps toward this strategic rebranding.
Sincerely,
Stocktwits community for QNX.
