BlackBerry shares soared this week on the announcement that it was victorious in an arbitration case against Qualcomm, winning what essentially amounts to a refund of approximately $815 million on royalties paid on prior handset sales.
The decision, which cannot be appealed by Qualcomm, was related to BlackBerry's now defunct handset business. BlackBerry, which will receive the payment later this year, may utilize the additional cash to make more acquisitions in enterprise mobility management or the Internet of things space.
