TECH STOCKS: BlackBerry Among Gainers In Tech Rally, 13 Jun 16:21
By Rex Crum, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The tech sector rebounded along with the broader market Thursday, with BlackBerry Inc. among the sector leaders flexing its muscles after an industry analyst said sales of some of its newest smartphones may be turning out better than expected. BlackBerry (RIMM) shares ended with a gain of more than 6%, to close at $14.41. Before the market opened, Société Générale analyst Andy Perkins raised his rating on the smartphone maker's stock to buy from sell. In a research note, Perkins said expectations for BlackBerry's fiscal first-quarter results are "diverse" ahead of the report, scheduled for June 28. However, Perkins said that "recent channel checks suggest that [BlackBerry's] new models are selling well," and he estimates the company will report more than 4 million sales of its Z10 handset.
